    My collection is complete. I will ship next Monday to ensure that the parcel doesn't sit on a loading dock or truck somewhere over the weekend.

    Time for another hint: I'm an avid long-distance runner. For the last year or so, I have run 60+ miles per week, with the average week between 80-90. If I were to run from my house to my target's shipping location, assuming I could maintain my goal marathon pace while carrying a massive box of beer, Google Maps estimates it would take me a little under 4 days.

    Let me know when you're leaving, and I'll have a beer waiting for you when you get to my house.

    i did not get the 1L growler fill i mentioned earlier, but going to try a few more spots this weekend to pick one up.

    the rest of my shopping is done, and is sour/gueuze/saison/stout laden, so i'm not that concerned about getting it out the door ASAP. want to wait till monday to ship with the fresh growler fill.

    avg score/oz of the entire package is ~95. oddly enough, a few wants that are being hit are dragging that score down :confused:. i might be slightly breaking a rule, but whatever.

    I did a fair amount of stalking for this BIF, and hope the box is well received.

    I have my sender nailed down to one of fourteen people. :astonished:

    For a hint: my target replied on the first page of this thread.

    Hit a lot of wants. Much obliged, sir!

    Also really looking forward to trying some NJ brews.

    Are 4-packs okay in these BIF's? One 4-pk being a target's wants and the other 4-pack having a 97 BA score?

    I know if it was me I wouldn't care at all becuase I always like having multiples of good beers, but didn't know how others felt.

    Haywire, I like your hints, even if they did give me an aneurism.

    What Terrapin did you get? I love their stuff but don't get their distro.

    HAHA! I can do more if you all really want me to! Or just join the next BIF I'm in and prepare yourself.

    Guess you didn't want to wait til tomorrow :slight_smile:

    Enjoy! Sorry about the swag. Gonna send it by the end of the week.

    Hope you like the Jersey brews. I noticed you had a few of the Samuel Smith ones. My favorite of them all is the chocolate stout which is why I threw it in there. Thought you might enjoy it.

    I've still got access to some more WnB and Moo Hoo as well as some of their other stuff. If you're in need, let me know and we can set up some type of trade.

    Nice porch bomb, Hooah! :slight_smile: If you ever get too much Firestone Walker/ Parabola or Abacus, give us southern folk a shout and we could strike a deal. Cheers!

    Dude, I'd love to get some Parabola or Abacus myself. Haven't seen it yet but if I do, I'll be sure to give you a shout.

    Couldn't hold out. Also had another trade show up today so it was a done deal picking them up.
    Big ol haul day!

    I may not join the next one you're in, but I will definitely strain my brain trying to figure out your hints. :slight_smile:
