    Spoiler hint: On this thread, a different shipper mentioned a NE BA Barley Wine that comes in 2 packs of 12oz cans. They will be yours come April, and they are fantastic.

    I'll be hanging out in airports tomorrow, smuggling tequila and beer in my suitcase, so neither clues nor NBS postings. However, a final haiklue (Actually a tanka without the visual images):

    Coyotes renamed
    for other mammal not dead.
    Alas poor mammals!
    For Smilodon and Baleen,
    forgotten, forever gone.

    Holy cow, I have a lot of catching up to do! A busy time of year now with spring cleaning as I'm trying to get a lot done before having my knee scoped in a couple of weeks. No worries as I'll be gathering a few more bottles in the coming days and probably putting this on a delivery truck a week from Monday.

    I guess I'm overdue for at least another vague hint?

    The goodies are going to a state I haven't visited since the Chicago Cubs installed lights in Wrigley Field.

    My guess is it was his SECOND order of business, the first being the NBS thread....

    Gettin' down to the nitty gritty now:

    Hint #6- I will be shipping outside of my own time zone.

    Hint #5- my target posted in the most recent NBS thread.

    Hint #4- My target has more official BA trades in the system than I do.

    Hint #3- My target has only been a member of BA during the years of the Obama administration.

    Hint #2- My target's state does not share a physical border with Canada.

    Hint #1- I am not shipping east of the Hudson River.

    Another spoiler-

    My target will be receiving a beer I reviewed not too long ago on NBS. The descriptors attracted a lot of attention, and a number of BAs told me they bought the beer because of what I wrote. One in particular (a member who is also a part of this BIF, coincidentally) would probably describe it as 'magnificently malodorous'. It is designed to be an experience.

    (don't worry if you don't like it- I will be packing an extra beer to make up for it :grinning:)

    No idea about hint #1, and haven't yet slogged through yr ratings/reviews, but so far, I can think of three Washingtonians possibly in the running.

    Okay, so @cjgiant has had multiple Elysian beers, so a Washington destination is still alive.

    Research.....

    And some potentials to end up in a box in the near future.
    [​IMG]

    Not near my spreadsheet so don't have a good hint. But, I will say if you've had more than 2 of the beers in that picture, including the draft that is a new one by DB, you are not my target (note, some are actually for me :slight_smile:).

    Edit to yous on the fence: disclaimer, I didn't actually check all the beers, some I just made educated guesses at :wink:.

    Hint #4: After much research I have discovered my target collects glassware

    Nice! I knew there was more to the beer scene in Illinois than Goose Island (and for this thread's share of pedants, yes, I know 3F isn't in Illinois!)
