    Oh, and to my target, just picked up a 2 day old 6 pack of hop hash by sweetwater, and you will have a couple bottles in your box! Maybe a tequila or wine barrel aged black hole also. I really hope your wants list is up to date also, because I have hit 4 or 5 of them so far. Don't wanna disappoint.

    Thank you, sir. It is on its way to being restored to its former glory. People ask how it grows so quickly. I tell them it's the beer.

    Also, that's my Leonardo DiCaprio cry face. It's not quite there yet, but I'm working on it.

    Found all 4 barrel aged versions of black hole, bo & luke, Even more jesus, Even less jesus, Aun Mas A Jesus/Aun mas cafe jesus, Barrel aged Biscotti break, and imperial biscotti break natale/pretty please with a cherry on top ...all in the back room of a local bottle shop needless to say I did not make it out of there under $80 tonight. They finally let me back there, cannot believe what they have stashed.

    Hint #6: The said beach/oceanfront/boardwalk mentioned in the previous hint is also famous for a certain type of people.

    Because you definitely know you've got about 5 people holding their breath right now too.

    As I was reading this, I thought (and was praying I was your target) that you acquired all of these, not just 'saw them for sale' ...given the 'special occasion' nature of that visit, I would not have made it out of there for under $200, so you have more self-control than I.

    Down to 13, with a couple good guesses. I'm so busy getting my Halloween box together I haven't really started on this one. But I do have a plan.

    Hint 1: shipping north
    Hint 2: my target's state borders a body of water
    Hint 3: my target's state was one of the original 13 colonies.
    Hint 4: my target's state flag has 4 colors on it.

    going shopping for my target this weekend and hoping to ship some time next week. :slight_smile:

    Sorry - I actually like the Vikings (probably my favorite NFC team), so I wasn't trying to be mean.

    If I did everything right there are still three "live" candidates.

    The tricky part is that I'll probably give two more clues, but want to eliminate only one guy with each.

    So either me or @jawas if I've read the clues right...

    Since I'm pretty sure that @jawas is not an IPA fan, I'm led to the conclusion that I'm getting some GA brews!

    Yeah I stopped in a place I've never been in before on my way home last night -- they had a ridiculous selection of IBB's, I bought one that is super local, along with a a few other things -- and exercised amazing self control but still hit triple digits...

    Sadly(?), it's real easy to drop $100 on beer these days...

    I rarely don't.


    Hey @Mikexw (or anyone else) are you anywhere near Long Island? I'm hearing reports of 2011 and 2012 BCBS on shelves, which I would LOVE to get my hands on.

    Hint #5 My target's state has a larger land area than my own.

    Hint #6 I generally plan out the box I'm going to build before I go shopping, I'm at least going to work on that this weekend and will start shopping in the ensuing week or two. Unfortunately(?) for my target, I will be using every minute of the shipping window, and perhaps shipping late, but it will be well worth the wait.

    Alright, I'm about to crush a few people's dreams here.

    Hint #5: The name of my target's state contains more letters than mine.
