    Decided to blindly try @HeartofMiami wrapped bottled tonight.

    Could definitely taste the bourbon and some sweetness. I couldn't identify the sweetness and whether it was maple or something else, like coconut. Whatever the ingredient, this beer was amazing.. I took a shot and guessed FB French Toast.

    And...... I was wrong:

    Wow! What an awesome surprise!
    Thanks again man, this has been a great experience and love getting to try all of these new beers.

    Well Newbies, we have a villian among us. @ndpunk utterly destroyed not only my porch, but my beer fridge due to his overzealous inclusion of all the beer in the midwest. This guy is insane.
    [​IMG]
    First the cans and swag (there's also a note saying more swag is coming...WHAT???):
    18th Street Hunter Vanilla- new brewery for me and dat can art!
    Bare Hands tha.i.p.a- sounds amazing along with sticker and bottle opener
    Transient The Juice is Loose- another new tick and another can with amazing art

    [​IMG]
    The bottles:
    FFF Alpha King (x2)- long time want
    FFF Zombie Dust (x2)- permawant
    FFF Gumballhead- long time want
    Big Sky Ivan the Terrible- another want!
    Greenbush Delusion- Imperial cream stout aged in rye whisky barrels- sounds amazing
    Dark Horse Plead the 5th and BBPTF- both wants and I'm anticipating a side by side tasting

    [​IMG]
    Bombers:
    Bare Hands Ride the Bride- sounds kinky, but I like it!
    Bare Hands Citronic Pale Ale- hard to see but another cool label and sounds great
    Upland Revive- fruited sour. This is only my second Upland beer
    FFF Dreadnaught- yet another big want!

    [​IMG]
    AND THEN:
    Perennial Abraxas: are you effing kidding me? Huge, huge want!
    Revolution Deth's Tar: another huge want
    Wrapped mystery bottle- this scares me since this box has already been so good

    [​IMG]
    Group shot: @ndpunk this is an insane box. I knew I was in trouble when I picked it up and then when beer after beer just kept coming out of it! Thanks for hitting so many wants and new ticks! Welcome to the Newbies

    I heard a rumor that the box (and its contents) arrived safely. I think @locoformavs said he's post a photo this weekend.

    Hint #1: John Smith
    Hint #2: Edward Montgomery
    Hint #3: Paul Lassiter
    Hint #4: Walter Schinoski
    Hint #5: Danny Concannon
    Hint #6: William Walden
    Hint #7: Not shipping to @WesHowl
    Hint #9: Josiah Bartlett

    Content Hint #1: Beer
    Content Hint #2: Good Beer
    Content Hint #3: Largely wants
    Content Hint #4: When I say "largely wants," I mean that my box will hit like 15-20 of your wants
    Content Hint #5: Hmmm, seems like your wants list may not be totally up to date. I finally got around to looking back through all the boxes that have landed already and I noticed that you sent one of the beers on your wants list to your target. Now I'm not sure if I should remove that beer from your box. hmmm.....

    My gut says to exclude a beer if they sent one in their own box, but then again, some people have a tendency to ship beers they haven't tried yet in order to fulfill someone's wants (I know @Yourahoser tends to do this a lot because he doesn't know how to drink beer).

    Hmmm. This could be me. I just took off Lol Tho which I did send to my target. I acquired it after I made my wants list....

    I am still lost on all your hints though, and after researching them yesterday, I have no idea how they would connect to me.

    More BIF pr0n, a day late. I got home from work yesterday to find an attempt of porch destruction, but the cement helds its own once again!

    [​IMG]

    First up were the Alaskan goodies from @Glustick

    [​IMG]

    Anchorage Brewing Company - The Tide and Its Takers
    Anchorage Brewing Company - Bitter Monk
    Anchorage Brewing Company - Rondy Brew
    Kassik's - Statny Statny
    Anchorage Brewing Company - Triple IPA

    And then there's the non Alaskan beer

    [​IMG]

    Fonta Flora - Funk Fuzz
    Crossword Wrapped bottle
    The Bruery Mash & Coconut
    TG/Cycle - BA Chainsmoker
    Deschutes - 2014 The Abyss

    Kyle may not have broken the cement, but did some massive damage, especially with a big time want with the TG. All are new ticks which is always great, and can't wait to pound these bad boys out. Thanks again @Glustick !

    Packed up my boxes today. One box is almost all Wants. The other box is locals and non locals that I think my target will enjoy. Just for my target, I tried to keep the boxes at 49 pounds total but just couldn't do it. Two 30lb boxes just dropped off at FedEx. Should arrive on Thursday.

    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.
    Target Hint 03: Your state has been putting out some great things as of late, and I have had at least one in the past month!
    Target Hint 04: Track #3
    Target Hint 05: Do you enjoy fishing?
    Target Hint 06: Well shit, my plans have been spoiled.
    Target Hint 07: Unless I missed it, your BIF box hasn't destroyed a porch yet.

    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.
    Content Hint 02: In The Now
    Content Hint 03: At least one of the beers I sent my SWTFYW target is in your box.
    Content Hint 04: Some of your wants are distributed all around me, but not in WI. I got you!
    Content Hint 05: Sorry to make you wait, but like last round, I will be pushing the shipping deadline. Because of this beer.
    Content Hint 06: Clearly I need to stay out of my bottle shops. Picked up another of your preferred style, and its local, but the main ingredient is from MI.
    Content Hint 07: Don't spoil the plot twist!
