    Info #1: My target has a big box that might have some emptiness in it in more than one way and beers from 3 different states that I call local since they are closer than my states best known brewery.

    Box loaded and headed off tomorrow. Well insulated, shock-proof- I'm really sure- and headed north from here. Let's just say south of Massachusetts, well northwest of Bermuda, east of Columbus, Ohio and near a big old bridge. All Carolina brews, two from the Piedmont, one from larger Foothills (not Foothills), and one from the mountains.

    At least two of those things will be in the box I ship.

    Don't get too excited. I still lack the ability to post pics here. But maybe I can put one on Untappd when I get the box open.

    I may have to call an audible that effects one of my hints, as a brewery I was going to get one of my items from may not have the specific beer I need available. SO, I stopped at Hardywood for a 32 oz. growler fill of Raspberry Stout just in case. It's my "alert 5" beer.

    I have my companies shipping department at my disposal, you'd be surprised what I can make happen. Imagine my target's reaction when a tractor trailer shows up at his door and the driver asks if he has a forklift and a loading dock.

    Hint #19 - I will be shipping to an apartment on a street named for a large US city. If my target is actually reading this thread he might be able to figure it out by now or soon.

    Well, @Shroud0fdoom has certainly set a standard. The first box in this BIF to be opened contained:

    Heavy Seas Cross Bone, Cutlass, Loose Cannon
    Pannepot Grand Reserve '09
    DFH Raison D'Extra
    Flying Dog Kujo
    Victory Hop Ranch
    Troegs Blizzard of Hops
    Brewers Art Beazly
    Union Craft Brewers Double Duck Pin and Chessie #2, bottle # 782/1000


    Whew! Thanks much to Shroud, looks like I'll be having a couple of fun NBS's, starting this week.

    A hint for my target: You live on a street that shares a name with a Puget Sound brewery that rarely gets listed in the "best breweries of the region" type discussions, but has made very good and enjoyable beers for a long time now.

    And that brewery is located in Pierce County Washington.

    I'd drink up that Blizzard first, I think it might be close to hitting it's Three Month limit soon. I'm glad they're all still intact and ready to be enjoyed!

    Cheers and I'll see you this NBS!
