    Hint 1: I have not sent you beer before
    Hint 2: your state is missing a relationship to water that my state has
    Hint 3: you were very specific on content/wants
    Hint 4: you do not post about hobbies or interests other than beer
    Hint 5: your state is thin on newbies
    Hint 6: as of this post, your box has yet to arrive at your target
    Hint 7: the amount of days/hours it would take to walk between our towns is a number you wouldn’t find amusing
    Hint 8: you haven’t been very active on BA, maybe you prefer discord?
    Hint 9: check back for a hint that doesn’t matter tomorrow.
    Hint 10 (final): all of the above hints are exactly false. Box leaves tomorrow!

    I have turned into @Joenap419 this time, yes. I think 17 people are in this round and I've easily eliminated everyone based on hints. The only person I couldn't eliminate was @BartS with his vague hints but I figured his Canadian Beer hint ruled me out anyway. @Griff57 kept saying something about preferring BA which is what I said at the beginning on Slack so I took a stab. I'll just sit back and be happy to receive whatevs :slight_smile:

    I still have zero idea what @max13 was trying to accomplish with those hints, or lack thereof but yowza, what a box! Lots of treats and fun planned for the Days plus a bunch of wrapped extras too. Cheers bud!

    @Scottsbeer with this bomb box of Florida brews. Like the Southern Swells glass and the football themed beers will taste great leading up to the Blind beers! Thanks Scott!

    Day 1 from @jschott75 , Big stout with some light bourbon barrel, roasty and chocolatey with some slight sweetness. As it warms getting more booziness and coconut more in the smell than the taste as the sweetness. White waxed bottle, no idea what it is but it is good and probably kind of big for a Tuesday afternoon in the office :slight_smile:[​IMG]

    Day 2 from @jschott75 , another big BA stout. Thick with chocolate and something like marzipan that I can't quite figure out. A little boozy and delicious.

    The reveal. Transient imperial corn stout in collaboration with 6 others, Macadamia and chocolate, I think the macadamia with the sweetness from the corn base and vanilla from the bourbon barrel is what was similar to marzipan that I couldn't place. Very good. Thanks @jschott75

    Day 3 from @jschott75 New Glarus from the cap, R&D Series from the shape. Funky, cherry, slightly acidic, red wine barrel maybe, possibly cranberry? This is good! I love the R&D Series beers. Thanks

    Much overdue in posting this Halloween BIF round box from @timmy2b. Got guilty cracking day 3 beer just now and realized I haven't yet shared how awesome this box was:

    Day 2 from @timmy2b brought some awesome pulpy sours from Mortalis. Have never seen a bad sour from Mortalis, and these two were no different. Also, candy pairing has been top notch:
