    Alright, Christmas came early here thanks to @tommyguz. I thought for sure your boxes were going somewhere else given the super late delivery time, but everything arrived here safely.

    The "extras" box:

    Incredible! What can I say. Almost all of these are new breweries for me that I have never tried before, including Voodoo. Thanks to living up here in WI everything came nice and chilled. So I am currently enjoying the Secret Sauce. Good stuff! I hope that's ok I didn't wait.

    These are all downstairs awaiting their day to be opened.

    Cheers @tommyguz thank you so much! I look forward to trying these new beers and to the 12 days of Xmas.

    Each one of those are also wrapped after the numbered bag they are in.

    Also, I'd hang onto the 2015 BBVD....until later.....just in case.....I've said to much.

    Enjoy those brews! The extras are a mixture of local to me now (Voodoo, Timber Creek and Lavery) and then (Yuengling, grew up in Pottsville)/local to my in laws (Burley Oak)/two staples I like (Westbrook Gose and the Monk's) and a Want from your xmas list(russian river)

    I just had a Secret Sauce last night. Enjoyable.

    Cheers!

    Oh also. For the days I tried to mix it up so I didn't just hammer you straight with big ba stouts in a row, etc. Hope you enjoy the adventure. Tried to go all local/limited and a mixture of wants with the 12 days. Also the wife said I needed to butter you up since you are in Wisconsin and she loves New Glarus haha.

    As am I, but not for the bif, just as evidence to my wife for why I'm crying myself to sleep having sent out such awesome beers.

    In reality my worry isn't about winning anything it is just ensuring that my target not only enjoys what I send but also enjoys the "spirit" of the 12 days. Also, I know you're reading damnit, like a post or something, all this abnoxious banter are hints (is hints?)

    Damn, seeing these boxes showing up makes me feel like I really need to get to work. Think every BIF is like that though

    And this is why you're not allowed to play with nice things...

    The LIF isn't worth winning. The sender is a total flake.

    So just a question before sending my next hint. If I did get called out and the person was right, should I confirm it for them? Im assuming yes. Not even sure they are on to me but the time to ask is now of course...

    Less than a week and I will ship. All the beers are here, just need the down time to wrap wrap wrap.

    Hint 1: Shipping East
    Hint 2: My targets "wish list" has eliminated many of the days I had already figured out.
    Hint 3: You have rated more beers than me on BA.
    Hint 4: On the day your BA account was born, HR Giger was still among us but Conrad Schnitzler had already shuffled off this mortal coil.
    Hint 5: Not shipping to @LehighAce06, or any state that borders his.
    Hint 6: You have given a hint in the last 4 days
    Hint 7: I have been to most states but I have not been to yours. Still, I get the feeling based on the regions beer culture that it is a place that I could live.
