    I'm entering to win this lottery (wish me luck). Which location would be the best for someone to proxy from, Bloomington or Broad Ripple?

    The last batch of Blackberry was ridiculously good. A bit more balanced than some of their other sours.

    FYI. I rolled through the Indy location last Friday night and they still had Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry and Malefactor left. I never win a lottery but I was at least able to pick up the 2 bottles I really wanted from the last release and no shipping!

    Willing to proxy for a couple BA's who are around Blacksburg and Harrisburg. I'll be traveling out to Virginia for a week in March and could pick up bottles at the Indy Location and bring them with me.

    Like @TDavis already said, all you need is a car and some cash and you can still buy bottles from the last release.

    No luck required :grinning:
