    Holy smokes, I think I this one eliminated me and also made me realize who your target may be.

    Unless you're splitting PA in half, I think I may be eliminated. I'll still be watching to be sure.
    And I'm out.
    And now a Grammy winner! I think that video was from 2012. I look at him now and still see a kid, and then watch a video like that and feel even older. Incredible talent!

    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
    4) this week I will hit a brewery to stock up and this brewery is known mainly by two letters

    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.
    4) my beloved Bruins have not won a cup in your state, but they do play team from your state
    5) after college I drove cross country hitting 10 national parks, I did not drive thru your town, but did drive thru your state
    6) I have not shipped to you in previous bifs

    Time for #9:
    I've had more beers than you. You've had more different beers than me. I write a lot more than you do, ha, though you're more interactive, in a sense.

    State of mind perhaps, ha. Though actually I think that applies even more to Bellingham.

    I would quite happily drink any or all of those. Are they selling the Second Derivative online? Sees like a good cause.

    Ok, so it doesn’t take too long to get hopelessly - and I mean hopelessly - behind in this group, but I wanted to second this... I’ve also got a couple of well-aged bottles of Crown, mine from a favorite uncle who died years ago, and the bottles are/were from the 60s. I drank one awhile back and can confirm they’re very different. Much smoother, much like a very old wine that has mellowed considerably.

    Was it better? I guess that’s an individual perception, but for me the value was more due to the provenance than the uniqueness of flavor. I still have the other bottle, maybe this is a sign! Otherwise I’ll just end up keeping it forever because an occasion will never come up.

    I had the same question. There are "officially" 23 so apparently we have a few wild card players. Or Frank imbibed one more beer than he should have before that post...

    Hint #1: I’ve shipped beer to a LOT of states, but I’ve never shipped to my target’s state.

    Hint #2: I am shipping in the same time zone in which I reside.

    Hint #3: My target has an impressive beer nerd resume, and has done one thing on this esteemed beer nerd website that I've never done.

    Hint #4: My target's state has an equal or lesser number of syllables than my state.

    Hint #5: There has been an incorrect assumption made about one of the previous hints.

    Hint #6: My target has participated in this thread roughly 1/3 as much as I have.

    As we haven't even had an official call-out yet, Imma keep dropping hints like hints are bombs and my middle initial is Dubya.

    Hint #10:
    My target has a lower number than I in more than one, but not all six, of the following categories: Beer Reviews (or ratings); Place Reviews; Trades; Posts; Likes Received; and Karma.

    In other words, I've got him or her beat in at least one BA numerical rating, but not in all of those ratings. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Totally agree on that last part! They have so much in common. And now Chas has something like 30 breweries in the area!
