    Sounds like Eastern NC minus the hippies and bums.

    Look what my wife found on my doorstep. All new to me too, just getting to be the right weather for these bad boys Ya buddy I’ve beer intentionally staying away from most beers that are not AALs in preparations for a BIF. So I’ve forgone most hoppy beers and big Stouts.

    He could be shipping 2-day priority, which would put everyone in play. :wink:

    In Florida, 80 is kinda the recommended minimum speed on I-95, regardless of the actual speed limit, so .... :grinning:

    Well, my box should land tomorrow. My target already knows his identity, so if anyone was tracking me as a possible sender (you shouldn't be), you can officially cross me off.

    In related news, I'm down to 4 possible senders thanks to Ian's latest hint. I really don't think @thebeers is shipping to me, but I can't decipher his hints, so I can't rule him out. :laughing:

    To help @Roguer out....

    Hint 21:
    All the GIFs I posted with my hints represent beers. nc41 correctly guessed that the second GIF represented Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Not sure if anyone has figured out any others. Some are difficult, but a lot seem easy — especially with Hints 11 - 20 providing extra clues.

    My target has some connection to those ten beers. Maybe they’re all from the target’s state? Maybe they’re all beers my target has rated highly? Maybe they’re all beers my target hasn’t rated at all? It’s something like that.

    Hope that helps!

    Hmmm, I think it does, actually .... but I'm going to need to consult your clues and a map ....

    Well holeeeeeeeeey sheeeeeeeit. I felt the earth shake this afternoon, but had no idea it came from my doorstep! Cats out of the bag folks, I'm calling out (better late than never) @thebeers !

    Apparently "tapeless" is just a suggestion.

    After a bit of a battle, potentially somewhat due to the shaking hands of excitement, the big picture is painted.

    Some delicious looking 750s and a 500!

    Big hitters and a mystery beer,

    A whole bunch o cans,

    And some sweet swag including my new favorite glass!

    Pretty brave sending coffee to the PNW :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:!

    A huge thanks to Arthur, especially for making me question why the hell I never participated in these BIFs sooner!

    Cheers!

    I lived in Portland metro for a number of years, and always used to say how much I preferred La Colombe coffee from Philly to Portland’s Stumptown hipster bullshit. When I moved back to Philadelphia, La Colombe had gone hipster, too. I suspect Tired Hands coffee is in the same ballpark. I’ve only actually tried it in a beer before. :beers:

    You guys make the clues too hard, and they're separated by two pages. Really tough right there, I’m not an outside the box thinker I’m an engineer by training so I’m pretty black and white.

    I'm not a Stumptown guy myself. I actually prefer my grocery stores "signature" blend! Really looking forward to it

    FWIW, you seemed to follow my clues better than anybody.

    Each GIF represented a different beer. The clues that followed help guess the beers more easily. They were @Lingenbrau’s ten highest rated beers.

    Hint 1: Anchor Steam
    Hint 2: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
    Hint 3: Monkish No Comment
    Hint 4: pFreim Mosaic Pale Ale
    Hint 5: Fundamental Summation
    Hint 6: Tustin 20th Anniversary DIPA
    Hint 7: Thumbprint Cran-Bic
    Hint 8: Adam
    Hint 9: Wulver
    Hint 10: Speedway Stout Vietnamese Rye

    These BIF’s are like the Hotel California for me: I can check out any time I like, but I can never leave.

    Here’s a black and white haul hint for my target .....

    [​IMG]

    I’m also the guy that tells everybody what they’re getting for Christmas. As for the beer, it’s 2+ months old and still drinking magnificently. I have no idea how Toppling Goliath does this with a Citra-hopped beer.

    The glass is also a haul hint. I was in Chicago today and stopped at Half Acre and Revolution. Someone’s porch is gonna get crushed early next week by Midwest hops and big ass stouts.

    IJS.
