    I guess it's time for another hint..

    -Hint 1- I have a hunch I'll be shipping some kind of northerly direction
    -Hint 2- My target and one of @jawas targets may have something in common..

    That's a pretty good call, they could be each other's targets; not ideal, nor for them to know their senders, but I'd rather have them both in here than not.

    Hint #2 I've only driven through my target's state. Have never spent any time there.

    I've checked my list and decided my target has been nice enough to get a 3 year vertical of one of their wants.

    If they want to send each other surprise boxes of beer and call it part of this bif, by all means don't let me stop them!

    I don't think I have deleted you from my senders but I sure hope not. I did mention my love of verticals..... Wants could only make it better.

    Hint# 7+8+9 (I believe)
    1.
    The state I am sending too has some weird laws such as no more then 2 packages of beer must be purchased at anytime, unless you buy from a distributor. And, It is contrary to this states law to discharge a gun, cannon, revolver or other explosive weapon at a wedding. As well as, "Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, then continue."
    2. I have a feeling that all the participates from my targets state know each other.
    3. Hint to my target, if you go back and put all my clues together it is almost dead giveaway.




    Also some Pr0n from a recent trade, and store visit to hold us over until december.

    Got a 2nd 09 bottle, and 2011 through 13 of abyss. I now have 07,08,09,10,11,12,13. Vertical anyone?
    and some of you out there might ask why a 2nd bottle of '09 they are infected.
    I wanna do I guess Diagonal? (since horizontal and vertical are used) of a couple infected beers I have and still have the 09 for the vert.

    My 2nd la terroir since 2014 release. Really reminds me of almost sauerkraut this year.
    2011, 2012 B-bombs Have the '10 and '13 in cellar. And Jekyll which is a local brewery here did a very limited barleywine 1500 bottles, all signed by the head brewer.

    God dammit... not that I have any right to expect it, but in the 2 seconds between reading those hints and being pretty sure you're my sender, and reading that the pics are not content giveaways but your own hauls, I was VERY excited about getting an Abyss vertical :stuck_out_tongue:

    By the way, I'm pretty damn sure you're my sender.

    edit: and by the way, while I've BIFd before with @justanewby and I think I've spoken with @robgage before on here, it's only @PA-Michigander and @Mipper that I know well. And in PA, while there might exist a law about "2 packages", the law they enforce is 192oz maximum unless from a distributor.

    So is that a typo, or a sub-optimal route, or am I missing something? Because I didn't think anyplace in the contiguous 48 states was that far from Minnesota.

    I'm not coming up with anywhere that's substantially more than 2000 mi. Anchorage, however, is about 3000mi. (I used Minneapolis, but realistically it doesn't matter much)

    My guess is that he is either shipping directly from the North Pole or from Belgium. I hope for his target's sake it is the latter.

    Hint 6: According to my calculations it is a 36 hour drive and 2400 miles to my targets house. Gonna be a long drive for me in my sleigh.

    Given that he signed it "Santa" my guess (bummer for his target) is that he measured from the North Pole, so the hint is that his target is 3000mi + from the North Pole.

    I'm not sure that narrows things down, but it makes sense.

    I guess I should put some beers in the box under 10% abv, but it really isn't shaking out that way. Maybe O'Douls on January 1?

    I'd almost be willing to send you the entire vert just to see if you could drink it all by yourself in 1 day haha. '07-'13
