    Hint #1 Shipping east.
    Hint #2 According to google a generic flight from Cali to Texas is some 1,400. If I wanted to fly from Cali to my target's state I would be flying many more miles than 1,400.
    Hint #3 my target has rated less beers than me, reviewed less beers than me and has less wants than me.

    Hint #4 My target has been active in this BIF so far.

    I am down to 11 possible senders, some of which have left no hints.

    Haul hint #1: I live in Modesto, CA and there is a brewery about 90 minutes south of me that I believe makes some of the best stouts out there today. My box will definitely have one or 2 of these.

    After going through this forum I am confident I have no clue who is sending to me. I literally have a better shot of winning the lottery then figuring it out.

    Hint #3 haven't been to your state or to any other state on the east coast

    Hint #4 if I were to walk to your state, google says it would take me approximately 1400 hours.

    Hint #1: Shipping south of Cleveland, Ohio.
    Hint #2: I have driven through your state but never really stopped other than to pee.
    Hint #3: Your Untappd shows you've had some Ohio brews before. Prepare for the Jackie O's section to increase quite a bit, especially with some of your favorite styles.

    Temptress variants x4: BA, raspberry (yum!), mole and standard, love them all milk stouts and this is a great cross section of their flavors. Along with BA Lion's Share quad, Pumpkinator and Yellow Rose in new bottle format. Thank you Patrick, this box is awesome!

    Enjoy the brews! And I tend to agree with your warning to my target.

    I've had this happen to me, just send them great beer and cash in on that Beer Karma.

    You are on to me?! Time for Plan B.....

    Easy to do the former, hard to do the latter.... interesting set of clues you're putting out :slight_smile:

    No box is complete without a bunch of JOs IMO!

    A couple cryptic hints above, and an obvious Content Hint.....

    Real Hint #6 - not shipping to @Joenap419 , sorry man. Giggity Giggity.

    I'm down to 13 possible shippers and I don't remember seeing any clues from @Burrass @maljay26 and @Cal213 yet. I see a couple strong candidates, some potential maybes, a couple doubtfuls and then the normal vague "who the hell knows" players :slight_smile:
