    BMs are coming with target info, I'm still having connection problems which make it a bear but I'll get it done.

    Shipping window is from now until Dec 18.

    I'm from Texas. Everything past Texarkana is the Northeast to me. :wink:

    Hint #2: After looking at my target's wish list and comparing it to their untappd check-ins and ratings it seems that they should update their wants with a greater variety of styles.

    If your want list doesn't reflect all of your style preferences, like this post.

    thats pretty good, considering not that many clues have been put out! I suppose you do get to know off more people due to OH and PA being heavily represented...

    I'm at 24 possibilities! Keep the clues coming!

    to finish with a hint:
    Have not shipped to or received from my sender, but I do have a completed trade with someone from the same state

    I pretty much have my targets beer and swag picked out - will adjust if I get contrary info when I get my shipping info message, but I'll probably get my box in the mail this week

    Yep, being in Ohio rules out @Elkevjoe and the PA and MI folks too.... bummer IMO!

    Hint #5 - I am not shipping to the person I shipped to in Round 1

    Hint #4: If you're good at something, never do it for free

    Hint - my targets states football team lost this past weekend.

    Due to holiday travel, I'm gonna ship next week most likely.

    Both happy and sad to know that you are not my sender. Romo being back felt pretty good.

    The jokes on you, my state doesn't have a football team.

    I Liked this post for two reasons, neither the requested one; first because you went out of your way to do that much investigating, kudos. Secondly, this raises a good point: UPDATE YOUR WANTS EVERYONE! If your Wants are all a single style, or are just the first half of the Top 250 list, it does no one any good. Even if you have none that your sender can get, the more you have the more information that gives your sender about beers they CAN get that you'll enjoy. Have Last Snow on your list but a California sender? Good chance you'll enjoy Hawaiian Speedway, right?


    Another PSA - No one is.

    Hint #3: A college football team in my target's state is in the same conference as, but has not played (this year), one of the current top 4 teams in the College Football Playoff Rankings (Week 13)
