    I'm going on a road trip to Los Angeles the weekend after this one, and since there's a strong possibility of acquiring additional beers there for this BIF, I'm going to split my shipment in two. The first one will be extras/stocking stuffers and the first 6 days, the rest will follow after I'm back.

    Best I can do is down to 11 possible senders and no real strong possible senders. You know this could make me tear out my hair if I had any.

    If I am really strict I can only eliminate slightly over half of you but if I follow my gut it gets me down to 12 senders...

    Really having trouble putting together this box. Had 10 beers pulled together and went digging through your untappd checkins and found you'd had 4-5 of them. One is still a want on BA and other, well, its just a really good beer (and you agree evidently) so you'll suck it up and deal, and a third is the kind of thing that would make for a good break in between heavy days. But I don't really want to send a box with three beers you've had before. Like this post if you're okay with that?

    Of the beers I have pulled together (still missing one or two and might be some swaps), they have an average BA rating of 4.329, untappd rating of 4.289, and if you rated each bottle the same as your average rating for that brewery (based on your untappd checkins), you'd give them an average rating of 4.120.

    Hopefully something nice falls into my lap for the last 1-2 spots!

    Well UPS went and recalculated the weight so a total of 44 lbs. and two boxes headed my targets way.

    For some reason 4 of my 5 boxes currently say they will be delivered tomorrow and the 5th box says it'll be delivered Wednesday. I'm guessing all 5 will arrive on Wednesday.
