    Whoa!

    In other news, Baltimore-area craft beer fans are baffled at the lack of product on their favorite bottle shops' shelves!

    Hint # 11 (sort of) The person shipping to my target iis a little concerned about the weather between here and there.

    How concerned should I be? I know it's winter and it's unlikely my package won't be passing through somewhere that's below freezing, but it looks pretty cold in places along I-90, which would probably be a significant portion of it's route. I've done little beer shipping and never this time of year, so I'm wondering where the line is between prudence and overreaction. I'd like my target to receive this around the time we are actually shooting for, but I don't want them to be the proud owner of a box of beersicles.

    don't know where your shipping but most temperatures look to be climbing above freezing starting this weekend. hopefully it holds out next week (as my box will be in transit)

    As I mentioned above, there's little danger while the beer is actually jostling around in various trains and trucks. It's if that train or truck stops for a significant time, in really cold weather, that you have to be concerned.

    Which is why I'll be shipping tomorrow. My targets box should spend most of the weekend riding the rails to somewhere within Fedex ground's 4 day shipping window from Bellingham. There's another hint. I'm surprised he hasn't announced that he's got it figured out yet. I think he's making me jump the hoops of having to come up with more hints. But, he needs something to do, since the NFL team closest to him is golfing by now.

    Wow @beertunes I had no idea about the roller coaster! I was thinking east coast, Coney Island or something. And I thought my sender would be regionally closer. All great hints that I just didn't pick up on! Looking forward to the box!

    Well, this sums it up...with a few explanations.
    A compass rose would show "NW" my beeree's initials

    In fact, one beer is so popular, that although it is officially listed as being from our most populous city, it's brewed in more than one location. This beer is super hip. I'm not sure why, but if I could twist my mustache while giving this clue, I would...No I probably still wouldn't.:sunglasses:[/QUOTE]

    My beeree has rated PBR

    My beeree doesn't live far from Ebeneezer Rd.

    My beeree has been known to say this.

    Hometown team, named after a bird. One specifically named Cal.


    My Beeree has had a "Showers" before.

    Hint # 12 - My target hasn't posted on this thread since Dec. 21, so I've no idea if he's been reading any of these hints. I'll probably be sending him an email just telling him I've shipped beer to him within the next few days.

    Update (but not a hint): I plan on shipping at the beginning of next week after picking up at least one more can (possibly two, depending on distro).

    Content clue: I do not intend to include any beer from our local nano-brewery, Beer'd, because the box is getting quite full. Instead, however, my target will be receiving beer from 4 different New England states (that's the plan, anyway).

    It's a big box, trust me. Not big enough for a stove, though....
