    Haul hint: My box includes a lesser known local brewery, and one quite well known locally. And then a surprise :wink:

    OK fine, you're right, that's what happens when I eyeball a table and summarize. We had four people enter six each, including you.

    *I have done nothing to verify whether or not my separation of ratings and reviews is correct

    If I may present in the court of public opinion and based upon legal counsel from @FBarber aka Gritty . esq., , my reviews ALWAYS include ratings

    I cannot believe I have never entered a review of one of those beers on BA ... I've had a bunch, but never reviewed one?!
    LOL, that rating was me shotgunning an old can of 14% ABV barrel aged stout that got damaged while I was cleaning out and organizing the garage. I'm considering doing all future reviews/ratings that way.

    well I went completely MIA from this thread this weekend - sorry about that. A tree came down in the backyard taking down our power lines and dealing with that completely consumed my day yesterday.

    It somehow missed the shed, but did cause some mild damage to the house. The weirdest part is that it fell on a relatively calm day ... I had a nice lineup of saisons planned for Easter (including some from @snaotheus) but ended up not drinking anything. Anyhoo, I'm caught up and I think I'm almost ready to make a call out ... Gotta mull over some of these hints before calling someone out.

    Dang Frank, so glad that didn't come down when your kids were out playing! That's a whole lotta firewood.

    OK, this is technically not a haul hint, because @ovaltine has reviewed this beer before ... but it may be related to a haul hint ...

    16 cans of Tree House are on their way to the post office this afternoon.

    More boxes to follow ... for more than just my target. Should I do a LIF? Or just ninja? Or both? Hmmmmmm ...

    Crazy, glad things are mostly OK, I'm sure that's chaotic

    Wonder if the tree was knocked down when a box of beer zipped by.

    Maybe this is related to @2beerdogs' clue?

    Holdup to shipping. I'm short some crucial packaging. Also, just had an idea for a mystery beer that may take a few days to make happen.

    LOL! yup, probably.
    Thankfully they came out late last night and hooked us back up ... now I just need to get the ancient telephone wires dealt with. ...

    Don't know if anyone has noticed yet...but one of the countries in that last pie chart is named "About us"

    That comes from 63 ratings/reviews for beers from the Utah Brewers Cooperative.

    I'm not really sure why, but beers from this brewery seem to be listed a little differently, which results in some screwed up data on my side.
