    This BIF is closed to new participants and is a follow up to the Juniors Jaunting for Brew BIF
    http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/juniors-jaunting-for-brews-bif-hints-hauls.21005/

    The rules for this round are:
    · 11 participants
    · Minimum beer spend of $50
    · 1 piece of glassware (pint is fine)
    · 1 pumpkin / fall beer (if you really dislike this style let me know so I can tell your target)
    · Target ship date is November 16th. You MUST ship by this date.
    · 1 beer/drink that they have matured from over the past 4 years. Since this is the senior round we have to show how we've matured right?? I don't intend for this to be a "craft" beer by any means though it could be. I think it will be interesting to see and hear a story behind this for those in the group. I'm thinking we will see a mix of Macro beers, local adjuncts, "gateway crafts", and maybe even some cupcake vodka or for those crazy ones...jello shots

    The beers you send should include locals, but don't feel restricted by that as it is very likely you have access to beers that your target does not, so those are fair game as well. Check out http://seekabrew.com/ if you have question on state distributions. Knocking of all your targets wants is not necessary for this BIF, but if you can hit a couple that's great. Make sure your wants list is updated.

    Please remember to ship a box that you would enjoy receiving.

    Targets have been sent out so please let me know if you did not get yours or have questions let me know.

    We have a great bunch of people in this so I'm looking forward to lots of fun, participation, and great hauls.

    I tried to do my best making sure no one had a repeat of any of the prior rounds. I think I got it, but if for some reason I made a mistake please let me know ASAP so I can make adjustments.

    Also if there are any questions about the rules or targets or anything please let me know.

    My box is headed to a state that I'm 99% sure I've never shipped beer to (surprisingly). I have however sent something else to at least one BA in that state.

    Thanks duces!

    spoke with duceswild and I will be shipping out on 11/19 as there is a certain bottle release on 11/17.
    I have shipped to my targets state before...

    I am sure your target will appreciate what this bottle is. I know I would.

    Looks like I will be able to hit a bunch of wants and already have a certain special treat in hand. Box (s) will be landing east of the mississippi.

    I've driven to my target's city more times than I can count. Some times it'd take me 16 hours, some times I could make it in 45minutes.

    This one kinda snuck up on me, so the target message took me by surprise, but I'm more than happy to be back for this one. I have a feeling that my target already knows that I have him/her, but I'll leave some hints anyway. #1: my target's location was/is in the path of Sandy and probably felt some of her wrath. I might be cutting it close with the deadline due to a few boxes that should be arriving just before that time.

    I'm shipping to a city that I've only visited once, for a reason that used to be in my BA avatar.
