    That's what I was thinking until I actually looked at a map and checked it out after #3, and saw that I wiped out like half the list by then. I've been a bit more careful ever since :slight_smile:.

    Hey All,
    Some of us who haven't shipped are eyeballing the weather intently. I need to ship through the mid-section of our counrty, and it's looking best to hold for a week or so. How many of you are in the same boat?

    I'm not shipping until next week, but I thought the deadline was some time in the week after that. Honestly, I wasn't even thinking about checking the weather forecasts until this weekend.

    Second half of next week at the absolute earliest for me. Looking at the 10 day forecast things should mellow out a little later on next week at least.

    Hint #9
    My beeree is going to get a chance to "clean up" again from a brewery he's only tried one beer from. While that is not the only thing I'm sending him, I hope he'll feel it "rain" down on him.

    www.alsofhampden.com - Go here for further research, my box will contain a bottle of Sunny Side Up and probably a Crowler of one of the other Pizza Boy beers they have on draft at the moment.

    Wow, impressive beer list for a pizza place...or for ANY place.

    If my son winds up going to Gettysburg next year, I could see making a pit stop or two over at Pizza Boy in the near future. It's sort of on the way, I suppose...

    Yeah it's an awesome tap list, I usually stick with the in-house brewed stuff though. They made a beer recently using a 100 boxes of Boo Berry cereal that honest to god tasted like the left over milk in the bowl after you ate that cereal. It's was weird and awesome at the same time. Also it was green for some reason.

    It's right along interstate 81 so it's on the way to Jersey depending where you go. If he does let me know, I'll buy you a beer.

    And also if you stop by there you're not far from Troegs, so you might has well make that part of the trip too!

    Thanks for the offer!

    And I may have looked at a map or two :wink:.

    We did do a visit and tour over the summer, but didn't spend the night there so there wasn't really time for a side trip. Things could be different going forward, naturally.

    I suggest @TongoRad not pass up any opportunity to stop at Selins Grove Brewery either.

    I don't know if it's been an issue for others in the past, but I wouldn't worry too awfully much about the weather, except for slowing things down. If you ship so that your box is in transit over the weekend (as opposed to just sitting on a warehouse dock), the movement should keep the beer liquid. Check you shippers time frame for your target, and work from there. BTW, UPS says my box should be arriving tomorrow, so I should have some NBS entries this week! :slight_smile::stuck_out_tongue::grinning::sunglasses:

    Selin's Grove is an awesome little place too! A little further out of the way for @TongoRad but still might be worth a trip.

    Not if one cuts over on I-80 and drops down Rt15. 15 takes you right to Gettysburg. Not the straightest line ever, but a worthy one.

    In case my target hadn't already figured it out like weeks ago: this individual is what you get when you combine Robin and the chief!

    I am not ruled out in one of the hint streams here. Still not sure if it's me though.

    Now for the best hint of mine yet. If you don't get it now shame on you:slight_smile:

    In 1966 a movie was released that is one of the greatest films ever, and if you read the title of the movie you will read the name of my target's state.

    And if you do get the clue, let me say the box will include multiples of a beer that I think is your favorite style, and perhaps biggest want, as well as one of my favorite local versions of that style (growler only hope you're thirsty). I know I should send one each of a bunch, but having only one of this beer to drink would be a sin.

    I'm having a problem finding my target's address. What is the easiest way for the technically challenged? Thanks.
