Sorry about the delay. I have been recovering from some medical issues and when I signed up for this BIF I thought recovery would be well enough along that shipping wouldn't be a problem. I was wrong but it is on the way for Wednesday delivery. Cheers.
Now that I see the explanation for the Hints it makes sense. I am disappointed with myself for all the effort you put into the hints and I failed to understand them! Very grateful for the box and the #pgw to go along with it. Cans are in the fridge and I will be diving into something tonight, just not sure what! Thanks @wolfpac255 (PS had a huge crush on Meadow Soprano growing up)
Hint 1, Not shipping South Hint 2, No handshake tick Hint 3, You, or someone in your household, have shipped me beer before Hint 4, I have given more hints than you as of now. Hint 5, If UPS doesn't F... up your beer will remain in the same time zone. Hint 6, If you haven't received your beer yet I might be your sender Hint 7, Check your porch
Now that some rust has been knocked off and we're back into the swing of things, I'm thinking it time to get a jumpstart on the Newbies Summer Sixer, 2022 edition! The requirements: Six wrapped vessels of beer to be enjoyed each day spanning from June 30 (Thursday) - July 5 (Tuesday), 4+ BA / untappd rating unless it is a want of your target. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution. As with past blind BIFs, each shipper will provide their target with six (or so) individually wrapped beers (bottle, can, growler, etc). Each of these packages will be tagged with the order and/or date on which they should be opened, and each day the target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo and post it on BA, and I guess drink some beer. Minimum ~112 oz. of beer. I trust your judgement, but since the number of beers is limited, we should probably try to avoid a box of exclusively small format beers. Feel free to double up small format beers for a single day, verticals are always fun! Extras are not required, but with a small gap between the landing date and first drinking date, I don't think anyone would complain too much if there was something to hold them over. This is open to any past participants or lurkers. Newbie Newbies looking to join with fewer than 5 positive trades will require a sponsor - if that's you, just speak up and we'll figure something out! The timeline: Boxes need to be in your target's hands no later than June 25th. If you think you might have a problem getting your box to its final destination on time, ship early, nobody likes to sit on the sidelines and watch everyone else have a good time. Send me a PM with the following information (title the message Newbies 2022 Summer 6er so I can easily reference it.) Name, shipping address, and cellphone number Shirt size (just in case...swag is not required, but is certainly not prohibited) Any 'Do Not Ship' dates (i.e. you’ll be out of town) Untappd username Style likes/dislikes As usual, hoping to not pair people up with each other that have sent and/or received from each other in previous rounds, or people with bordering states, so the more people the better! I would like to close sign-ups next weekend (May 29th), so don't hesitate!
Since boxing and shipping has been very slow for me and I still have a lot of boxes to get out, I'll sit this one out.
