    Last hints: Eye had not heard of Rueben Taylor before today, but he plays a role in this saga.

    One bottle is a no brainer for this BIF. Hell, the way folks talk about it, you'd think it's on it's way to 5ainthood. The other two are fruited, and though each is quite distinct from the other, both bottles hail from the same place.

    As always, I forgot to add a note to the box so had to write on the FedEx label. Sorry: my handwriting might be tough to read.

    Me and my target both live near what are believed to be stops on the Underground Railroad. I should be able to hit a couple wants and from 3 different breweries.

    Good to see boxes flying around already. I'm still waiting on one bottle to land but have a solid box pretty much picked out filled with wants and some vintage wants. It a shame we can only send three bottles.

    Hint: my box will travel across less than 7 state lines.

    3 Bottles is why I join this bif. Promotes quality rather than quantity. If this was a minimum oz bif or something like that, I would not join. SOUR BIF FTW

    Just trying to narrow down from four to three bottles. And trust they are all certainly more than "quality" beers!

    Hmm, if my sender has dropped hints my way, I sure haven't picked up on them. This will be fun. Perhaps my target can BM olympuszymurgus when my package should arrive, and he can tell me without disclosing names. I live in an apt building and things can get lost if I I'm not watching out for it.

    I should be sending my target's box mid next week.

    The combo Libbeylobe box has been selected and is slated to hit the road Monday.

    Hint #2: Our target has more reviews than myself or Lazerlobe combined.

    I'm excited to see this one.

    According to reviews/hads my target and I have quite different opinions on a few sours so Im hoping to hit the mark.
    Where my target lives is .5sq miles larger than the city I live in and has a larger population. The average house value for my targets city is very close to the avg of where I reside which is on just about on par with my states avg. My sports teams are better though ( Had to throw that in there no matter who/where my target lives)

    I think I have found 3 bottles that my partner hasn't had/reviewed....and all of the ratings are above 4 here on the site.

    For my target I'm sending a beer (2 different batches) that has been on the Wants list for over two years. The other beer I'm thinking about sending comes from the same brewery and also was a brewery only release, although some of it ended up at other locations where you could drink it on site.
