    My target really does have a front porch, according to UPS that is where they just placed a box of beer.

    I don't think my target has any clue I'm shipping to him. Let's help him out. Puff Puff PAss.

    @andreizm I have no idea how I missed it, but have it now. I've reviewed each clue I don't know how many times but didn't look at the big picture. I didn't see anything that excluded me, but I wasn't sure on the "well-known local brewery"

    In case the others don't know what you're talking about..

    Hint 1: Pennsylvania is not the state I'm shipping to in this round.
    Hint 2: Evidently my target doesn't want any beers from a well-known local brewery.
    Hint 3: Overjoyed at the prospect of sending my target a beer they have very recently added to their wants.
    Hint 4: Right, an easy one.. I would have to drive through at least 4 states to reach my target.
    Hint 5: I'm not friends with my target on Untappd... this might give it away. Hopefully, my target is tracking hints.
    Hint 6: Apparently my dear target has not cracked the hints yet. For every additional hint I'll add a bottle to the box.
    Hint 7: If you have fewer than 7 characters in your username, you're not my target. Does this help?
    Hint 8: Latest news is my target might be older than me? Not sure, but they should have everything they need to solve it right here.

    Happy you like the beer! Also, that is a Pliny sticker, not an iron on.

    Huh I had you figured as my sender. AUS code for our airport definitely rules that out though. Hmmm. Looks like I'm bad at hints again...
