    Box 1
    1x Growler of CCB Pineapple Right Side Up Cake Lager (Opened right away and it is delicious!)
    5x Jai Alai IPA (Always Tasty)
    2x Jai Alai White Oak IPA (Love this one)
    1x Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer (want!)
    1x CCB Camp Braggot Ghost Stories mead lager hybrid. Sounds strange and tasty, looking forward to trying this!
    1x Marshal Zhukov's Imp. Stout (want!)

    The 2nd box contained 2 CCB Glasses (pint and snifter). Great additions to my collection
    EDIT: Also in the 2nd box were numerous CCB Coasters, and stickers

    Big thanks to Ravenacht for all this goodness, with vacation starting tomorrow (well now I guess) this will be a great start!

    Gonna stop by a local brewey tomorrow to pick up the swag. I hope my target wears hats. Don't know if it will be a baseball cap or a skull cap but a cap is what they will be getting.

    According to the UPS tracker, my targets beer has arrived to the city they live in, so there is an 88% chance it blows up their porch tomorrow.

    So this leads to my last hint. My target lives in a city with a nationally known university, where the coach of said school coached against his current school when he coached at one of the state schools in the state I currently live in.

    Whoops, realized I've been remiss in throwing out hints, so here's another one:

    My targets region is known to have a bit of a rivalry with my own. Each side has been accused of "holding beers ransom", which I will be proving to be a lie.

    It's looking like I'll be shipping 2/24, at the tail end of the window, as I'm hoping a package will be arriving containing some brews my target will enjoy (you hopefully don't know who you are, but you're making it difficult for me to crush you due to the relativity scarcity of quality beers in my area that meet your top styles).

    Heading to Bruery and Alesmith this weekend to pick up some bottles to go with my other California representatives.

    *Hint My target's lives in a state where they fired one of their NFL coaches.

    An NFL team in my target's state had a rookie QB start at least 1 game for them during the just completed season.

    There is no NFL team in my target's state. Or MLB. Or NHL. Or NBA.

    No class on Fridays for this lucky college senior means I'll be heading downtown to one of my favorite breweries to grab some swag for my target.

    So this made me dizzy---not Haywire dizzy, but just regular dizzy.

    Sorry I didn't throw in a math problem and some geocaching to aid in the dizziness.
