    One of the largest employers in my target's area also has a large presence in my area.

    I may ship here soon, but I may wait as a highly anticipated brewery is in the final stages of permitting to open their expansion, and I have a feeling that my target would be interested in trying a growler of Ted's creations which are not available until they do open the new place.

    I think I listed XL as a shirts size

    My targets location is warmer than me right now

    Well, it looks like I can only hit 2 of my targets wants, but I've amassed about 120oz of beer in the styles he digs with an average score of 93. Gonna grab another beer or two and then should be able to mail next week as it looks like he won't have to worry about any packages freezing on his porch!

    I am putting together the box for my target this weekend.
    Couple additions added this afternoon that don't have much if any distro outside my area.
    Hoping to pick up a couple final additions tomorrow.

    Success!! I have been able to get 3 more of my targets wants and will be able to send their package out sometime early next week. However, this 200oz max is making me question which deliciousness I will have to leave behind. How do I chose? Wants or Awesome style wants?

    Well- I was hoping to get my box out next week, but I decided to hold out to see if I could get one or two more style wants next Tuesday when I make my weekly trek into the big city. And since my target lives 2 timezones away from me (hint!) I'll wait and ship the next Monday so it doesn't sit in a FedEx facility all weekend. I'll definitely make it worth the delay.

    I have access to 3 of my well-traveled target's wants...all 3 are beers readily available here in TX, and are also from breweries that distribute to his home state (hope that wants list is up to date :slight_smile: ). The rest of the box will be full of dark, tasty TX brews, including one barrel-aged treat that was brewed once and had very limited distribution.

    ...

    I should be picking up something special for my target next Thursday, so I'll probably wait until the following Monday to ship. Some good diversity in this box I hope!

    Just picked up another one of my targets wants. It is a beer that is rated 90 on BA. I will probably be holding off on shipping until Monday the 18th because I am going to my favorite semi local brewery that weekend and I want to pick up some more brewery swag.

    I'm not involved in this BIF in any way, but I wanted to let you know this is one of my favorite Monty Python moments. Thank you, good sir.

    So as in the Movie BIF, I am throwing a little Wisco love into this box. Seems like my target's wants don't seem to follow that fruit brewery's production so I am going to throw in a little love for that brewery that just had a 15 year celebration. Now I don't have that beer everyone is going nuts for, but I do have a shipment coming from them on Sunday.

    My target likes big stouts, boubon and could be featured on an episode of "Hoarders" :slight_smile:
    Hit 2 wants and included some fresh stuff for immediate enjoyment. Box will ship ship out soon.
    Cheers!
