    My sender is feeling a bit anxious about one of the beers he's sending me, so he's shipping that beer early, before it falls off. We have beer in motion!

    The package I send will cover more then 700 miles and arrive in a state in where owning a boat is every bit as popular as it is in my state.

    Info 1 My target will be getting his favorite style in a growler from one of my favorite locals because it isn't bottled.

    That might be asking too much…for now. Local as in this pro football team is the closest team to my target. Does he/she root for them…tbd. :confused:

    I'm curious who you ruled out, then.

    I figured it might; that's of course why I asked. :stuck_out_tongue:

    I was thinking of doing the same thing. Depends on the next release of some local-ish/regional brews. I don't want to ship pre-aged hoppy goodness!

    Hint #1 - My target lives in a state I've been to more than once but in a city I've never been to or even through.
    Hint #2 - I'm shipping in a westerly direction.
    Hint #3 - My target's first and last name begins with letters in the first half of the alphabet.
    Hint #4 - My target lives east of the Rocky Mountains.
    Hint #4.5 - My target has posted on this thread at least once.
    Hint #5 - The three beers I have locked in to send so far (I'll probably end up sending 6-8) are rated 95, 95, and 97 on BA and are all brewed within 80 miles of my home. Two are actually brewed within 18 miles of my house.
    Hint #5.5 - I've settled on a 4th beer to send. It's rated 93 on BA and I've yet to have it so I'm buying two. The brewery where this beer is made is less than 75 miles from my house. My target has had multiple beers from this brewery based on his profile, this is the only brewery that I plan on sending that my target has had a beer from as far as I can tell.
    Hint #6 - My target will be getting a nice piece of glassware in his shipment, and he should be ok with that.
    Hint #7 - My target lives very close to a cross country roadway that I grew up close to.
    Hint #8 - My target has fewer ratings/reviews than I do on BA.

    Hint #9 - More info than hint but my target is getting only one of the beers in the two pics I posted in the "post a pic of your latest haul" thread today. It's the only local that I got more than one of. Also, I have not had this beer yet but I've heard good things.

    And also, I'm fairly certain my sender hasn't posted any hints on here yet. Hopefully I get some good stuff!

    Based on recent posts, I have added a new dark horse candidate to my guesses. If, by some chance, that's the right person, then I think I may know my sender's sender, as well (or have reasonable odds at being right, at any rate). His/her hints aren't yet specific enough for that leap of faith.

    As I mentioned to @beertunes this is kind of like a game of Guess Who. "Does your sender wear glasses?" "Nyeee-oooooo!" "Does your sender have a moustache?" "Yeee-eahhhh!" "Is your sender Creepy Greg?" "YES!"

    I'd have to look at my spreadsheet (yes, I succumbed to that level of geekiness), but mainly it's people sending west from locations west of me.

    Ok - looking at spreadsheet, I have ruled out (correctly??):
    @gopens44 and @Shroud0fdoom for being in states next to me, if nothing else
    @WesMantooth is shipping west (this BA had a bunch of hints that could've been me)
    @Homebrew - think I don't fit the last hint
    @Roguer - if I figured out your favorite team correctly, I'm not your target

    The following have hints that wold make me "unlikely" without truly ruling me out:
    @beertunes, @BigRedDog, @JNForsyth

    Next hint from me coming up later today.

    Well, unless the District has a LOT more lakes than I think it does, you can cross me off.

    Oh yeah, I overlooked that one. It was/is a hint that excludes me. Searching the thread for useful hints isn't an exact science, it appears.

    Hint #6: if you have responded to this thread, you may be my target. All you pure "voyeurs" out there, you are out.

    Hint #7 my nfl team won 20-6 today so we clinch homefield for the playoffs. So this with hint #3 should get you on your way

    #1 He has rated more beers than I have

    #2 Anyone on the east coast excited to try some Ohio stuff? Well, hopefully someone else in our distro has you, because mine is going west.

    #3 My beeree has had an Ohio IPA (in fact it was from a 2 word brewery), but not one of the better ones they are going to get

    #4 There were 9 people west of me by my count. Those that were barely west (Michigan) can rule themselves out.

    Hint #11 - My target has some pretty heavy duty stuff on his "wants" list, stuff I don't have easy access to. There is one beer on there that is readily available nationwide, not sure why it's on there but I may send one just for the hell of it.
