    Keep in mind:

    Make sure everyone has their hads and wants updated so we know what styles they like!

    Go to your "wants" and substitute their user name for your user name in the web address.

    My target has exactly 0 wants from breweries within 200 miles of me. The closest is about 225 miles away and doesn't distribute outside their county. (S)He'll just have to be happy with what I have (other good beers)!

    I know, obviously this is my first BIF. Does anyone else feel like this is an adult version of Guess Who, the board game.

    I know I have a beer on hand my target will definitely dig, psyched to shop for some more this weekend! And even better, his favorite style is not mine, far easier to cough if up :slight_smile:

    this is exactly why I wanted to run this BIF!!! There are beers out there that nobody outside your area know at all. This is your chance to make them shine!!!

    My target lives in a state the last time I went to was for a wedding that was on an Army base.

    Also my targets wants are all further than 200 miles out for me, so if I put any in they'll be bonuses I guess. This is my first BIF so I'm still learning.

    I believe a shipping date of early May was suggested, buy I assume earlier is ok?

    Well, the perk for my target is by having a female buying for them, I like shopping & shopping for beer is no different in my mind. It'll be early!

    I didn't list the exact beers I wanted, just styles. I hope that works?
