    If shipping was allowed within your state, I would have guess peninsylvania

    I did some quick investigating, with no luck. And don't THINK it's me. Although since the Jets and Giants are equidistant from me, you could have lived in Atlanta (Giants beat Falcons). But unlike @Lehighace06, who seems to know more than me, I have no idea where you used to live.

    I'm down to 4-5 possible senders and a couple of those I'm pretty doubtful are sending to me...

    @raulazzer - any chance we could get some more hints?

    I don't know how to get it up at the top, ... but here they are...from post 2848 on page 72 of this thread.

    General groundrules are:
    -- shipping window will be throughout the month of October (ship by 10/31).
    -- minimum of 144 ounces, maximum of 225 ounces -- that's the same as we had in round 1. (That being said, the average that round was in the 260-270 range; and rules are made to be broken)
    -- the focus should be on locals -- good stuff you want to share -- as opposed to whales, although obviously a mix is fine
    -- this round we will be including at least one piece of beer swag and/or a local edible "treat" in the spirit of Halloween

    Hint #1: Shipping to a state that is smaller than mine in both land mass and population
    Hint #2: The last three straight BIF boxes that I have shipped out have all gone to the same state. This BIF will break that streak.
    Hint #3: My target state is one timezone away from me.
    Hint #4: My target state begins with a consonant.
    Hint #5: My target state has at least 1 NFL team.
    Hint #6: My target participated in Round 1 of this BIF.

    Hint #7: Shipping in an eastwardly like direction.

    I have managed to reduced it down to 6 possible senders.

    Still planning on shipping my box early next week.

    Watching my boys in orange and black as we speak!

    It's really weird though because as far as AHL goes, due to geographic location I'm a bears fan (and the fact that I get discounted tickets to bears games makes it really easy)... so players that I like in the AHL I eventually have to boo because they go up to the caps hah

    Sixterhood Trip #4 Hints:

    Hint 1: Shipping East
    Hint 2: Headed to a state that I consider my home state, even though I wasn't born there, I lived there for over 20 years, I still have family there and I visit frequently...
    Hint 3: The NFL closest to you beat my NFL team this past weekend, I was not happy...
    Hint 4: I credit the largest (by volume) craft brewery in my hometown with originally getting me into craft beer. They are one of the fifty largest craft breweries in the country. I had my "wow" craft beer moment with one of their beers, it was from a series of beers that they brew, of which there have now been 14 distinct beers made, starting in October of 2005, with the latest release being in April of 2014. This particular beer that I loved (and still do) was the 9th in the series of beers, originally brewed as a one-off, but now released annually due to it's excellent reception (and 96 BA rating)

    .... I think someone will be able to figure this out, but I'm not sure.. if you can figure out my hometown, I think you can figure out everything else...

    Is this a pumpkin beer? If so, I enjoyed their booth at GABF. And based on the NFL games this weekend this was my first guess of state, using similar logic as @Lehighace06
