    NG sours and fruit beers. Some of my favorite.
    Central Waters BA beers-- they make some of the best
    Then all new to me.
    3 Sheeps , Drekker and Eagle park. looking forward to the new ticks.
    Now for the mystery bottles
    [​IMG]
    They all look so ominous!!!! Not sure if the first bottle is supposed to be DAY 0 or meant to be Day 4. Either way, I will make it work..... Looking forward to trying these as well. Thanks again!

    Forgot to post here but @Bum4ever thumped me with a couple boxes to start me off with some fresh CA hops including Pliny and Blind Pig. Been far too long since I've had them!

    He also sent me 6 bottles but apparently these are only 4 of the days...best start preparing my liver.

    Thanks Josh!

    Welp, I shoulda just called him out when I did instead of ask for more hints, notification received! @beluga92 is my sender. Can’t wait till tomorrow - of course it’s my one busy day this week and I won’t be home to late. I’ll be sure to post pics as soon as I come home though!

    Hint #1 No handshake yet
    Hint #2 Have not exchanged boxes
    Hint #3 I've given out more hints than you so far
    Hint #4 Your wants have not been updated in a long time
    Hint #5 Untappd friends
    Hint #6 I have a slight edge over you on the lagers consumed
    Hint #7 You got me significantly beaten on berliners
    Hint #8 Within a 50 mile radius from you is a city sharing a name with a very popular strain of hops
    Hint #9 Your box delivery is now Mon, making it one of the very few places where my boxes generally can't get to in a single week

    Hint: Because you don't have a very extensive 'wants' list and most of them are major whales, I wasn't able to hit many of them. I did find a 'want' on your untappd and was able to hit that.

    Hint: You've made a wrong guess so far in this round.

    Hint: Despite how bad the Bengals have been, your local team allowed the Bengals to beat them last year, and we get a rematch again this season.

    Content: I'm giving you a good mix of your preferred styles; Giving you a good representation of some of my favorite local breweries; hope your ready to chug.

    As for my sender: I'm still banking on @brewnic although he hasn't acknowledged my call-out yet. If its not him, I screwed up along the way and will just have to wait and be surprised.

    With the injury to our Top Pick, I have a feeling we are in for another bad season @Jackd33 ^

    Oh, and the fact that we have plenty of other issues on the team! :rolling_eyes:

    Hint 9 - My target is still not on to me, but hasn't indicated they want a 5 year old 120 minute IPA, looks like this is heading @Greeny87 's way for #chugs.
    Hint 10 - Your favorite football team shares a namesake with another popular athlete.

    Box is out today, hopefully for a Friday or Saturday delivery.

    I really feel like @wolfpac255 is trying to tell me something. Hint #6 threw me off but maybe I need to update my preferred styles or something. But my favorite football team are Bengal Tigers and if I’m not mistaken, there’s some guy that plays golf that calls himself “Tiger”.

    I keep forgetting that the Bills are my local team now after moving. Gross.....

    Anyway, I’ll bite. Bills lost to Bengals last year, will probably lose to them again this year, and I’ve guessed wrong. So what is one more wrong guess. Are you my sender @Jackd33 ??
