    My target has been kinda quiet of late. I hope s/he is OK. I'd hate to see all this Whatcom wonderfulness go to waste!

    The idea of Spammy getting sunburns just makes me think of bacon.

    Ooopsie, this was supposed to be a reply to @jhavs post, not my own.Sorry

    Just realized you may have meant my posting some spoilers about my box. Hell, I can do better than that. I am currently sitting in a brewery. All 3 participants of this BIF that live in my state have agreed to ship a bottle of the same beer to our targets. That beer is made by the brewery I am sitting in. If you follow me on Untappd (BellinghamBeerOtter), you will notice I have drank several brews from this brewery today, while internetting and riding out our latest wind storm[30+mph steady, gusts over 60] (some folks out in the county still don't have their power back after Wednesday's wind storm). The beer we are all sending is not I one I have had. Today.

    I wonder if anyone has ever put bacon in a Randall?

    Yes. I have had a chocolate stout (DFH, I think. I was drinking that night, 8ish years ago. coulda been a different brewery), through a Randall of filled with bacon. Very nice actually. Plus, other local places sometimes drop some bacon in with other stuff. Just need to make sure to render as fat out of the bacon as possible. Also, at Strangebrew in Port Townsend, I've had several other bacon beers.

    I was just joking! Damn, that's awesome! I'll mention this next time I'm in River City and they're doing their usual Randall thing.

    The reason I think it was a DFH night was, this happened when Randall's were a relatively new thing, and the first one I ever saw in person was at a DFH brewers night. I'm not certain DFH has ever actually brewed a chocolate stout though, so the possibility of me being confused is possible.

    Maybe chocolate and bacon were cavorting together in the randall.

    Feel like I'm on the brink of figuring out my shipper, just need another hint or two!

    As far as what's in my box. Most of it I've had this year, but might not have reviewed this year. Still looking for a few more beers to fill out the box, hoping to hit up a release or two to get them.

    "Please post if you are able... love the ball busting so no harm no foul from anyone. Guess it's my entry title eh BIF lol... as for a hint to my target... shipping between the Ohio Valley and the Coast line... take your pick East other West.... "

    OK- my box is all packed up and ready to go. If all goes well, I will have it at the UPS Store by tomorrow night. Target: I sincerely hope you enjoy my 'slightly out of the box' box!

    Final hint- my target was seen not too long ago sipping an Imperial Stout in the shadow of Riker's Island. It was the same Imperial Stout I mentioned in my NBS post of March 6th. Cheers!

    I will be contacting you as soon as I have the tracking info. Cheers!

    Dear New Jersey BIF participants...it's time for my final hint before I ship out tomorrow.

    Your city either has zero famous people on the list of famous people from New Jersey (according to wikipedia), or your city has 23 famous people on the list. Now that you know that hint didn't help at all, I say to you...Island Def Jam. That should enable you to figure out if it's @SammyJaxxxx or @TongoRad who should alert their local movers, carpenters, geologists, etc.

    Going to send out a scout package tomorrow for a test run, so...

    Hint #9, in reference to #6

    As you might guess, it's wet. Really wet.

    Just drink Aecht Schlenkerla Marzen and skip the Randall.

    I know what beer you are referring to and I know whom you are sending to. And it's not me. Another one off the list!

    Okkk. So I've narrowed it down to 4-5 of you. One whom I'd already crossed off and then had to re-add, three that haven't posted much and one whose posts are indecipherable to my peasant mind.

    This is more frustrating than fantasy football.

    Hint 6: My target is currently participating in at least one other bif

    Making the final adjustments to my target's box, hitting 3 wants and will be driving out to a central mass brewery to get the final pieces of the puzzle.
