Some great boxes this round, wow! Maybe I'm just an old-timer but I'm already hoarding stuff for next round. Some of my fresh IPAs should be a solid 2-3 months old by then!
Hint 1: I’ve never sent you beer. Hint 2: Ask about me. Hint 3: Due to some recent events, I've decided to load your box up more than I had planned on. Hint 4: I received a box from someone in your state in a recent non-newbies BIF. Hint 5: Like this post if you want me to hit the release in Elk Grove Village, IL this weekend. Hint 6: I did hit the release in Elk Grove Village, but it's not going to be a part of your box. I've got bigger plans. Hint 7: Our area codes have the same sum. Hint 8: Brewery down the road is releasing a BA stout on Sunday. That one you will for sure be getting. Hint 9: North. Hint 10: Pretty sure you are still not on to me. Hint 11: Coconut might not be your favorite, but may get a stout this weekend to try to change your mind.
...sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled programming... Looks like I have some Newbie porch bombs that I haven't posted! First up is a LIF winner from @hardysf that landed in January...thought it was from Steve Harvey... So many new ticks and some beers/mead I still have to crack. The "chugs" was 2019 Hopslam! Thanks Steve! Next up a quick and easy in state trade with @Graham19840 split with @CBrodbeck . Thanks Mr. Bolton! @beatjunkee was kind enough to pick up and send my Bruery society beer AND include some tasty extras from Aslin. Thanks Con! Finally (for now) is a Ninja from @jschott75 that landed yesterday...I guess he thought I was out of beer (which I'm not) and thought I missed the great state of Illinois (or Wisconsin)... Can't say enough what a great group of fellow beer geeks we have in this Newbies group, thanks! ...now back to your regular scheduled programming...
A few delayed non-BIF haul posts: @Bert00 hit me with a couple of CW 21 bottles and some other nice WI goodies. One of those bottles may have taken taken a trip down south... A winter blues pickup from @azuelke with some killer extras. That Eagle Park stuff is no joke. And finally, an over-the-top thank you box from @MTKATL for a box I sent him a while back to help him tick one of his last new beer states. Thanks all!

I know I don't have much of a wish list but you nailed my style preferences. Bhavana is on my list when I eventually get out that way so I'm excited to tic them. Sexual Chocolate has been a want from afar - too lazy to list it in Untappd. I like the inclusion of the Revision beer as well - Reno might finally be getting on the map. And my kids like the brewery name Fortnight Brewing. I'll be blazing through some of these this weekend! Thank you again for your generosity and packing skills.
so me thinks it's either @Burrass who didn't say yes or no to call out or from the great North but @Greeny87 thinks those are his....

I know you said no quads, but Veneration was too good not to include. I’m generally not a huge fan of the style either, but this one just hits all the right notes.
Before seeing this I was ready to call out @Blacksheep2plt. After seeing this I have to change and call out @corm44 as my sender.
