    And, I've got a tracking number!! Since UPS now has possession of my box, I'm gonna reveal my sender. If you do not want a spoiler don't read the next paragraph!



    A big thank you from the Fourth Corner goes out to a long time NBS contributor, and all-around great BA.... (drumroll continues until I get to the next line.........) Shroud0fdoom!!! I should have my box by the middle of next week, NBS entries will start shortly after.

    Hint #4...
    My recipient has rated and or reviewed an even number of beers from breweries in my state (more than a 12 pack, but less than a "brick"). Albeit a few of those breweries are so big they're opening or have opened on his side of the country too.

    In fact, one beer is so popular, that although it is officially listed as being from our most populous city, it's brewed in more than one location. This beer is super hip. I'm not sure why, but if I could twist my mustache while giving this clue, I would...No I probably still wouldn't.:sunglasses:

    Haha, I know the feeling, most of the hints others are giving rule me out!

    Haha - I think I am one of them...

    ...and there are only 3 people leaving hints that I think could be mine, and most are tenuous at best. Part of me wants to keep the people that are giving hints in my list of potential targets, but it's hard enough to exclude fewer people each time without that added pressure. That said...

    Hint #7: if your state either does not have an NFL team (by assumed location, not actual home stadium location) or has a team in the NFL playoffs, you might be getting some beer from me; otherwise, your state isn't worthy :wink:.

    Info #4: I have finished my purchases, now just need to figure out how to do this packaging and sending thing!!

    A: There is no such thing as too much bubble wrap.
    B: Double boxing is a beautiful thing.
    C: If your chosen shipper asks what's in the box, don't get cute. Keep it simple, and reasonably believable. I just say that I'm shipping glass and ceramic artwork that my girlfriend makes.

    Hint #12 - By my calculations and some profile stalking my target has only rated 8 beers brewed in my home state, and no, Rolling Rock is not brewed in PA.

    Hint# 5
    Hey!!! Wow!! My target lives 2,645 miles from my hometown. And I'm pretty sure he won't feel "scrooged" from my box. Mainly because that would be if somebody sent him a box from a few miles east of him.:grinning:

    I am ready to go other than some swag (since my state sucks at beer glasses). Have no fear my good man, your beer lasting 'till the official BIF NBS won't be an issue. :wink:
