    @Elkevjoe
    I'll be happy to stick around until round 5. Can't wait to give away some of this Alaskan goodness.

    Lol! You can use dog sled to ship here, but we barely get enough snow for us to do the Iditarod anymore. USPS is usually my dog sled these days.

    Backpacking and staying in the cabins along the trail. Apparently the winds are crazy strong and I would not want to attempt to set up a tent. The hike itself isn't too strenuous - only about 33 miles in four days - but the unpredictable weather (rain, heavy fog) and the multiple river crossings (like, you have to wade through the river) will make it a challenge.

    Fingers crossed...Everyone should have a target

    If you have an issue, let me know, this is getting more challenging round by round trying to match up new targets and senders.

    Cheers everyone and have a great round!!!

    Let's start this off with a right proper set of hints:
    1) Shipping East for the third time.
    2) Hops

    @Yourahoser Would it be too much to ask to repost the BIF 4 rules again? I can't recall what page it's on and want to save into a word doc so I can tailor my box.

    Round 4
    Minimum - 144 oz.
    Rating - 85 or higher unless a want (always send a box you'd be happy to receive)
    Shipping window - July 1 through August 1-ish (trying to keep open mind with summer vacations and such)
    Special rule - wrap a minimum of 2 bottles so that target can do a blind tasting. Target should post a VBS/VCS of wrapped beer while trying to guess said beer. Ideally the tastings would be done within 30 days of delivery. There are lots of ways to conceal bottles/caps/cans but extra advice can always be shared and provided
