    Looking hard at your hints, I think I'm worthy:wink:

    Not a hint: I'm hoping for a re-release of either (or both!) of two CT (-ish, for one of them) brews (@Homebrew likely knows both of the beers I'm talking about...as does @WesMantooth for that matter :wink:) before shipping out. If not, this will become an entirely regional box, but something tells me that this would not be the slightest bit disappointing for my target...assuming his/her beer ticks are up to date.

    Hint #16 - My target lives in what is considered a "Great Lakes" state.

    (And yes I'm running out of steam on the hints, could make it pretty easy but that's no fun, secretly hope he figures it out soon.)

    According to my spreadsheet, I agree you might be my target, along with about 10 others, so I think I've eliminated half the candidates.

    Hint #9/Info #6: With the arctic chill and "coldest weather of season" coming up this week, I will be postponing sending out the package until at least later this week.

    Your caution makes some sense as it does for anyone sending to MN in the dead of January. High today is below zero and for the rest of the week the warmest temperature predicted is 14 degrees. Probably not the best month for beer trading to these parts. However, I've done it before and have not had any problems. Higher alcohol beers probably helps some. :wink::grinning:

    Hint # 10 – My target could be a member of an unimaginatively named 70s supergroup. Or maybe he just works in a profession that needs a little knowledge of Latin.

    Hint #1 - going east
    Hint #2 - also going a little south, but then I live in MN, not called the North Star for nothing.

    In my family, all our vacations have been famous (or rather infamous)!

    VA has has more than three (5 that I can think of off the top of my head), but his weasel words are "at least 3 presidents," so you are definitely in the running.

    Hint #18     - The last beer my target rated on BA is also a beer that is listed in my "gots" section. We also have two beers in common between both of our "gots" sections.

    Hello? Anyone out there? Is this thing on? If my target is listening I'm going to Pizza Boy Brewing to pick up some stuff tomorrow. If you don't know what that is look it up, it's a good thing!

    Time for me to add another hint-
    Previously:
    Hint #1- my target lives somewhere to the west of me (and that includes about 99.9% of NJ, too, fwiw :slight_smile: ).
    Hint #2- my target's location is east of the Rocky Mountains.
    Hint #3- my target's state or locality is located somewhere south of NYC (approx 41° N latitude).
    Hint #4- a few of the beers I will be sending are being hand-delivered to me from PA, some time prior to my shipping deadline. My target seems to be one who will really appreciate these beers.
    Hint #5- My target's home state or locality is not in any part located within a 100 mile radius of my home town.

    New:
    Hint #6- I have never been to my target's state or locality in any fashion, not even to drive through it, but I have been to two adjacent states and they were great places to eat and drink.

    I'm in the "Hello, Anyone out there?" camp also. But I'll look up Pizza Boy just cause you said it's a "good thing."
