    Could my sender post this, and then I will instantly like it as well? :grinning:

    So I actually made an effort this time around to scour the ratings of my target. I am really surprised that he/she hasn't tried literally ANY decent malt liquors. Kinda skews their wants list according to me...

    Hint #1: I may, or may not live close to Ottawa.

    Hint #2: I GUARANTEE you will find stuff in this box you've never seen before.

    Hint #3: Target is not in PEI.

    Hint #4: Target may have been wearing a red shirt today.

    Hint #5: Tried to Facebook search my target's Facebook profile to creepily search out hints. Target either has no Facebook account, or is awesome.

    HINT #2
    Most of the beer my target would have been drinking in the not so distant past would have been local, just not to his hometown.


    Box is coming together and should hopefully be out next week.
    Looks like I should be able to fill some wants.

    Hint #2: Google Maps suggests that I will be sending a box to my targets place of work.

    It looks like I'll be able to hit most of my targets preferred styles, including a couple of "wants". All beers acquired and will be sending out this weekend.

    The styro shipper Wordemupg sent me last round looks like a veteran that's seen it's fair share of destroyed porches. It will serve me well this round. If only those pockets could talk.

    Hmmm. what happens when a beer on someone's want list, has it's name changed by the brewery, without changing the recipe (beyond minor tweaking)? Does the newly named beer no longer fill the want?

    I'd say "yes"

    Third Clue: This person's street address has far more numbers than letters in it.

    14.2kg worth of deliciousness shipped out East yesterday. I may have gone a little overboard, two thirds of the bottles I sent have spent some time in a barrel! :grinning:

    Hint #2 My target isn't very active on Hints and Hauls but has an impressive (in more ways than one) review list. And seems to like the odd brew or two from Four Winds, which isn't too far from me. There's a pretty good chance that Brett from the same may find it's way into the box.

    FINAL HINT:

    If Winona went for a walk how long or far would she walk to get to my target? It could be a long one, from Columbia to the Yukon. Sophia might join her for a swim if she went to far, but I imagine the Marine currents could bring her back. If she got out of the water in Manitoba would it be too far or just right? Either way if lost she could always ask for directions at Canadian Tire I suppose. This whole adventure might take between 60 to 64... minutes?

    Hint #3 (or is it #4??): You (my target) made me join yet another beer website/app. That's like giving an alcoholic the keys to the liqour cabinet :grinning:! Thanks!

    Shopping done. I had to replace my Vermont goodies with other local stuff as you had already ticked what I had saved for you. Thanks again! Will box up tonight and ship out on Monday.
