    Ok, bonus day double hint

    haul hint:
    1) due to my targets dislike I had to remove a planned beer
    2) I will not be sending Milkshakes (sorry just can't)
    3) my warm up shot, will a 12 can shipper


    target hint:
    1) I have checked in to restaurant in my targets state
    2) My target will not be the furthest I have sent a BIF box
    3) The average difference of me vs target beers, added, brewers, and beer styles is larger the distance the box may travel.

    Hint #5: This target's state's population is just over three times the population of the state where the box originated.

    Off to work in a couple of minutes. Time for two more quick hints:

    Hint 9 - I have more beer reviews than you do.
    hint 10 - I have never been to your state

    Previous hints:

    Hint 1 - I have not shipped to my target before.
    Hint 2 - Your city/town is at a lower elevation than mine.
    Hint 3 - Your city/town has a smaller population than where I have my packages delivered, but bigger that where I actually live (Waite Park, MN)
    Hint 4 - Your city/town was founded before mine.
    Hint 5 - My box is leaving my time zone (Central)
    Hint 6 - My target hasn't had Surly Pentagram before, or hasn't reviewed it. That will change.
    Hint 7 - I have been a member of BA longer than my target.
    Hint 8 - My target has posted at least one hint (so far) for her/his target.

    A little early for a formal call-out anyway, perhaps ... but being first! is kind of cool, too. :slight_smile:

    Early by date, but how many more than 10 hints should it take??

    Then again, apparently subterfuge is part of the game...

    So, I’m seeing one vote for Rye, one for dealer’s choice (bourbon/rye or lambic).

    Safe to assume Cynar for everyone else?

    Cynar is delicious. But I can get that easily here in the states ... :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I can't help but note that your restaurant check-in doesn't explicitly say it was a check in on BA.

    Rather goes along with the BIF theme, doesn't it?

    I'll just look at what's on offer and say "yes."

    I’m generally tired of the wine barrel/grape/grape must/wine hybrid beers myself. They are ubiquitous around here. Burdock is the local brewery that does them best, and this is their crown jewel hybrid.

    I avoid the grape beers 95% of the time now but make an exception for this series and grape lambic.
