    Target Hint 01: I have never shipped to you before.
    Target Hint 02: The population of your state grew just over 3x the amount of WI from 2010-2016.

    Content Hint 01: I just picked up a ridiculous amount of WI brews, most of which are barrel aged. Whether you want them or not, you're getting them.

    The winner of the LIF is @azuelke. Box is in transit!

    I tried 38 new beers on my trip to Oregon/NY. This is probably double the number of new ticks I've ever had in a three week period. I really thought @HeartofMiami had it with a guess of 19, so I surprised myself a lot here.

    38 was the toughest number because it actually did come down to the tiebreaker since @JoeyIce3 also guessed 38! I rated Grimm Tesseract (very grapefruit-y) a little better than SInglecut SSMS (which was hazy and delicious), so @azuelke took the win.

    Here is what I drank:
    1 Vortex Fort George
    2 Big Guns Fort George
    3 Elements of Composition De Garde Jester King Sante Adairius
    4 Bu Weiss De Garde
    5 Special Violet De Garde
    6 Anian De Garde
    7 Avenue #1 De Garde
    8 Desay Duex De Garde
    9 Cognac Abyss Descheutes
    10 Bourbon Barrel Aged El Mariachi Aardwolf
    11 Tanto Barrier
    12 Tessaract Grimm
    13 Mylar Bags Other Half
    14 Softly spoekn magic spells Single Cut
    15 Archer De Garde
    16 Java Head Coffee Stout Troegs
    17 Death by Coconut Oskar
    18 Peanut Butter Victory at Sea Ballast Point
    19 Prop BCBS Goose Island
    20 All Green Everything OH
    21 Susan HF
    22 Fred HotD
    23 Victoria Allagash
    24 Diamonds Fur ... Right Proper
    25 Noel Alesmith
    26 Amulet Hudson Valley
    27 DDH Mylar Bags OH
    28 DDH Stacks on Stacks OH
    29 DDH Simcoe OH
    30 Peachwood OH
    31 Bon Bon 2x Singlecut
    32 Harry doesn't mind Singlecut
    33 Chocolate Milk Singlecut
    34 Conduct of Life HF
    35 Double Daisy Cutter Half Acre
    36 Lunch Maine
    37 Fully frothed OH/HA
    38 Blast Brooklyn

    The number one beer I enjoyed was easily DDH Mylar Bags (in center) at OH Brewery:

    Number two was All Green Everything at Haymaker in NYC:

    Number three is all the De Garde, hard to decide between Anian and Elements:

    This was a really fun LIF, thanks for all the suggestions for new beers to try!
