    No, the High Lord Ruler of this BIF has directed that, to increase our geographic footprint, you must now move to Alaska. :grinning:

    I can probbbbbbbaaably do this. I have to commit to reading the hints and stuff. Some days my brain isn’t braining after working again in Dumbville. I think there are enough local options for both stouts and barleywines to keep it interesting.

    Should we expect that people will update their wants list? I see wants from 10+ years ago, but of people have already enjoyed some…

    Glad to have you on board!
    Wants lists targeting is definitely appreciated, but not an obligation.
    The pairings are attempted to be far from each other so usually sending things not available to the recipient works just as good.
    Will be fun!!

    That would be awesome for everyone to do, but there is no guarantee that one will get anything from that list since access is so different across the country. It really boils down to sending beer that another hasn’t tried. Could be local, but doesn’t have to be. If you have preferences, be sure to outline them when you send me your info! These will be sent to your sender.

    My approach is to find a beer that I want to send and then make sure my target hasn’t rated it. Of course, this would take into account the preferences of the target. One thing is for sure - it's always an adventure!

    My approach:
    1. Buy everything
    2. Ship everything
    3. Check if I shipped to the right person, if yes, proceed to #4, if not, go back to #1
    4. Check if they've reviewed any of them before or if they like the styles
    5. Realize there's a treasure I need to send them
    6. Ship more
    7. Mild panic about whether or not they'll like what I sent
    8. Ship more
    9. Try to convince my wife we aren't going to have the house repossessed
