    This is my first bif and its been a blast finding wants and other local gems for my target. About 360 oz coming your way.

    Final hint: the state it's going to ... The letter it starts with it ends with (spelling).

    Well, I broke under the pressure of these massive boxes and threw 4 more beers in for my target. That brings the grand total up to 382 ozs and 50 lbs. I just broke a sweat carrying it upstairs so that I could ship out tomorrow. Im fairly sure my target knows who he is, and I feel the need to give everybody a lesson in bad BIFing. While stalking your target on Untappd at a bottle shop to see if he has had something you're looking at, please don't do what I did and accidentally add him as a friend. It will probably give you away.

    target: you're boxed up and ready to go. i was looking through your wants one last time and i noticed that i actually had a bomber of a barrel aged stout in your wants list -- so i took out a 12 oz non want and replaced it with the want. you've got 2 boxes headed your way - final oz count is 370. judging from you wants, you like ipas, stouts, and barrel aged stuff -- and that is all you got!

    to my sender -- im out of town next weekend, so if the box arrives saturday, i will update the hauls on sunday night when i get home

    To my target:

    Life has gotten in the way of me posting hints and sowing proper excitement. And shopping. And shipping.

    That said, you can expect a porch maimer heading your way midweek. It will contain 300+ oz with a minimum of 6 wants (still looking for a couple that should be in my area). One of these world-class wants is a 2013 I still haven't tried: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2210/41815/

    Cheers in advance!

    hint 1: although we are in the same time zone, our states do not border each other.
    hint 2: your state has some really weird sex laws.
    hint 3: the state that i am shipping to ends in a vowel.
    hint 4: in 2010, there were more gun related murders in my state than in yours.
    hint 5: per the 2010 census, my city/town has a higher percentage of white/caucasian residents than that of my target (use pottstown, pa for your data comparison).
    hint 6: part of my target's address contains a name for a member of the [​IMG]
    hint 7: when i remove/alter some letters in my target's state, it makes me giggle like a 6th grader in sex ed class.
    hint 8: the first i get, but how the hell do you pronounce your last name?

    Oh crap - I forgot to send a note in the boxes I packed. To my target, if you get a Dark Lord and a Madhouse Templeton Rye BA Stout, you know its me. :wink:

    Ok, so everyone wants more hints. Well since I shipped my target's package out tonight I guess I can narrow it down a bit for him. This is the farthest I have ever shipped any box that was not an international trade. My door to yours is a tad over 4660 miles. It will take this 47 pound box seven business days to reach you, but it will be worth it!:wink:

    Oh i am friendly (probably would have done it eventually anyway), but I was so pissed at myself for doing that! But I am more than happy to see what awesome beer you're going to drink next. And seriously- lift with your legs bro. It's a big heavy box.

    All boxed up. Dropping at FedEx tommorow. Bakers dozen of bottles/cans. Hit one actual want but all are style wants. My guess I that the box will land Thursday, maybe Wednesday.

    Hint 1: My target did not post in this thread prior to my first post in this thread.
    Hint 2: I will be shipping to the north of the Mason-Dixon line (if it extended indefinitely).
    Hint 3: My target will be happy to receive a bomber of Bear Republic Cafe Racer, even though I do not see it listed as a "want" on his BA profile.
    Hint 4: Today I visited a local brewery that delivers one of its brews exclusively by bicycle to keep that beer local to the town. If they were instead located on a street with the same name nearest you, you'd be able to have this beer delivered to you at home.
    Hint 5: My target has some sort of voodoo skills for acquiring out-of-distribution beer (even ones just released), and I've been made aware of the fact that he has about half of what I was planning to send already in his possession (if the internet does not lie).
    Hint 6: My target's state has as many people in this BIF as my state (based on the awkward 66-person list that may have up to two inaccuracies).
    Hint 7: This box should take 4 days to arrive by FedEx ground.
    Hint 8: My target should be able to post a picture of his haul in this thread when he receives it, but it's going to be close. :wink:

    What can my target expect?
    A bit over 400 ounces.
    Most are some of your favorite styles.
    Some have spent time in barrels.
    Eleven are wants.
    BA ratings range from 82-100.
    A barrel aged beer that is one of only 52 bottles.
    Proper glassware for something I've included in the box.

    I hope your porch is ready.
