    Got most of the box I'm sending figured out. I'm hitting, as of now 7 wants and have 172 oz of delicious beverages in it. Hint #3- this box is going to a place with a warmer climate than I have.

    Picked up a couple bottles for my target tonight. These localish (the brewery is located about 175 miles east of me) bourbon barrel aged stouts are not on my target's wants list but I think he'll enjoy them nonetheless

    Pretty much... and I always make a point to ship on Mondays so that they get there before the weekend.

    hint #2 my target didn't include a shirt size, and lives in a state with more than one NFL team. i can get several of his wants, but many of his wants are also on his gots/had list...hope he really wants this goodness!

    A couple of questions about boxes. First, is a single wall box good enough, or is double wall the way to go. Second - what, if any, stores sell boxes? I would rather not have to buy them online but will if i have to.

    My target does not have a ton of wants and most are out of my distro.

    I know I can hit a want or two with a little bit of digging, and style wants can really take care of.

    As for me, I like Barleywines and Sours. If seek-a-brew says I don't get it, I want it.

    Second hint:

    My targets top styles lead me to believe s/he isnt a hop head, which is unfortunate. Wants list is a little whale heavy, so I'm going to be shipping closer to the end of the window just to make sure I can ensure a tasty, well received box.

    Also, dear target, I hope you either have some drinking buddies or like to drink a lot, because there's probably a growler coming your way.

    To whoever is targeting me, I love to drink. My wants list is a bit heavy on the whales due to laziness/hating the "want" format, but I absolutely love to try new things, especially from up and coming breweries. I'd rather a box full of should wants than a box that hits wants. I'll be updating in the next day or two once my annual super bowl madness has concluded.

    I don't know if i'm your target, but speaking for myself, just because i've had something, doesn't mean i don't want more. Assuming others feel the same.

    I'm hitting at least 3 of my targets wants, possibly more. They live in a state that has a city i've been to twice, and really like.

    I've never been to my target's state, but my wife passed through years ago on a cross country trip and loved it.

    Hint 3: Looking at my targets wants I see a lot of beers that are also on my list (or should be!).

    Hint #3: My target is in a coastal state with a great regional food style!


    (Oh and for whoever has me as their target, I just added around 50 beers to my 'want' list - that hopefully makes things easier!)
