    Can't wait to see these bombs drop this week :grimacing:. I didn't think either of you could top your generosity from past rounds, but somehow I think you've managed. Queue the "ISO: Beluga/Eziel as a sender next round" posts.

    Dear Target:
    Your goods were dropped off at FedEx this morning. Had to do it in two boxes because I used a 12 bottle shipper insert and I wanted to send you more than 12 bottles. The boxes are making their way across the country as we speak and will be arriving on your porch on Thursday! Enjoy.
    CC: @droopy1202 --although I'm still not confirming I'm your sender.

    I'm pretty sure one of these days @beluga92 is just going to show up at some sucker's house in a trillium box truck while the poor sap is at work, leave it there and get an uber to an airport and fly back to Boston.

    After a much too long hiatus....

    It's time for the next round of #GIF (Growler It Forward)!

    If you'd like to participate:

    BM your info
    (name, address, email, any shipping restrictions, etc.) with the subject 'GIF' if you'd like to be involved. I'll keep sign-ups open until Friday, February 3rd, 3 PM Central time.


    -Don't Fill up the growler with a quality beer from a local brewery (it leaks)
    -Ninja off to a random member in the GIF
    -Once they get it, they drink the growler(s) and post a #VBS. Once the growler(s) is empty, recipient signs the growler with the sharpie / pen included.
    Additionally, there will be a wrapped "challenge" bottle in the box. There will be a written challenge that must be completed and proven prior to unwrapping and drinking the bottle.

    If you complete the challenge, please replace the bottle you earned with a new challenge and challenge bottle prior to shipping along the new box.
    If for some reason you cannot video or take a picture of yourself doing the challenge due to job reasons, we can think up a more appropriate challenge.

    This is open to anyone who has participated in the Newbie BIF.

    Since the growler leaks I'll be filling the package with some crowlers from my locals.

    The challenge bottle portion of this died somewhere along it's journey, but I'm reviving it on this next leg!

    Sorry to keep y'all waiting so long. I've been super busy with pickle related photography forums...

    Target Hint 01: I have never shipped to you before.
    Target Hint 02: The population of your state grew just over 3x the amount of WI from 2010-2016.
    Target Hint 03: Your state has been putting out some great things as of late, and I have had at least one in the past month!
    Target Hint 04: Track #3
    Target Hint 05: Do you enjoy fishing?
    Target Hint 06: Well shit, my plans have been spoiled.
    Target Hint 07: Unless I missed it, your BIF box hasn't destroyed a porch yet.
    Target Hint 08: Your package is now on its way via UPS. Should land Thursday (distance hint).

    Content Hint 01: I just picked up a ridiculous amount of WI brews, most of which are barrel aged. Whether you want them or not, you're getting them.
    Content Hint 02: In The Now
    Content Hint 03: At least one of the beers I sent my SWTFYW target is in your box.
    Content Hint 04: Some of your wants are distributed all around me, but not in WI. I got you!
    Content Hint 05: Sorry to make you wait, but like last round, I will be pushing the shipping deadline. Because of this beer.
    Content Hint 06: Clearly I need to stay out of my bottle shops. Picked up another of your preferred style, and its local, but the main ingredient is from MI.
    Content Hint 07: Don't spoil the plot twist!
    Content Hint 08: Sorry I don't have the stomping power of others to hit 60lbs. You'll have to make due with the 52lbs coming to fuck up your porch.

    Dear Target,

    This beast is being picked up by FedEx tomorrow. Should land by Thursday. I'm gunning for that top box of the round, so you're getting 20+ beers that are almost all wants, including a couple monsters. Enjoy!

    last hint: box is located at a missouri city, and wiTh a fedeX delivery today

    content hint:
    box is not quite the weight of a kindergartener, but, while avoiding your dislikes (sours), was able to hit some wants, included a horizontal, and throw in some brews to round out a variety of styles on top of the ones preferred.

    cheers, and enjoy, friend!!

    Received this box from @Graham19840 just before I left for Chicago! (Literally less than 8 hours before I left) Great variety and just about every one will be new ticks for me. I have them chilling so I can enjoy them this week and for the Superbowl. Thanks buddy!

    I am hit. Luckily my building was built in 1899 and is still pretty sturdy to withstand the shock. Pics to come shortly, after Daddy Daycare gets lunch cleaned up. I already peeked and its impressive
