    Great ninja box! I’d like to echo an earlier sentiment that it’s my first BIF but I’m loving it and it definitely won’t be my last!

    Yeah first BIF here too. I'm loving the generosity shown by you guys and I'm going to try to echo that with my box.

    That said,
    Hint #1 I am shipping west
    Hint #2 I am shipping to a different time zone
    Hint #3 The coastline of my state is larger than the coastline of my target's state.
    Hint #4: I would only need to take 2 interstate highways to get from my house to yours
    (If my Google maps skills are A+)

    (cue everyone showing up to my house unannounced just to check a box on a spreadsheet)

    Let's see if this can end the suspense since there have been a bunch of senders being called out today.

    Hint #?: When I was in my mid-20s I took three months and traveled around the US via Greyhound and Amtrak. One of the places I stopped was your state to visit a friend. While there his now wife and I got to go to a show at a legendary music venue to see 7 Seconds with Matt Skiba/Alkaline Trio. It is not the only time I've seen a show in your state.

    Haul hint- for fun I looked up the BA ratings for all of the beers I’m thinking about shipping. The top three are all hops that are not from Sconnie but states next door. I already hinted two and the other is named after a guy who does not even work for the brewery any more. Rated 4.62, 4.51 and 4.46.
    Then one more angry hop and the rest all look like they will have spent some time in a barrel. Unless I change my mind and drop in some New Glarus fruits..

    So this is the awesome LIF box I got today! This isn't "small" by any means @beertunes! Many thanks again for letting me win this!



    Wander Brewing Global Mutt 3.90 / 3.89
    Coffee sourced direct from the farmer in Brazil, fair trade cocoa nibs from the Democratic Republic of Congo, chocolate from Theo's in Seattle, water from Bellingham, hops from Yakima, and specialty malt from Europe dance together in this BIG Baltic porter... a true Global Mutt.

    Wander Brewing Shoe Toss 3.81 / 3.77
    Over 50 lbs. of hops go into each batch of this golden orange colored rye IPA creating a big citrusy treat. The addition of rye adds complexity to the flavor including a crisp spiciness on the palate. Hops include Washington grown Citra, Centennial, Summit and a healthy late kettle addition and dry hop of whole cone Ahtanum.

    Wander Brewing Ground Hop Day 4.02 / 3.63
    Canned 23 Aug 2018. A PNW Collaboration: Wander Brewing, Brist Mfg, Imperial Yeast, Craft Canning + bottling, Hollingberry & son, inc hops. Brewed in collaboration with our favorite Yakima hop supplier: Hollingbery and Son Inc. A dry-hopped Lager with Tettnang, Crystal, and Cashmere showcasing green tea, melon, and honey aromas. Soft, bready, and crushable from here to Yakima.

    Kulshan Brewing Company Raspberry Gose not found / 3.85
    Bright and highly sessionable, this Raspberry Gose pays homage to NW Washington’s unbeatable long summer days and the hardworking Raspberry farmers of Whatcom County. Slight tartness melds perfectly with notes of fresh raspberries creating a delicious experience that will appeal to any palate.

    Kulshan Brewing Company Sunnyland 3.78 / 3.74
    Best by 14 October 2018. The sun kissed hops have been wrung of all their flowerful goodness, floating on a barley boat named Golden Promise. Set sail, be free, if only for a pint, the moment is yours.

    Structures Brewing Fuzz 4.06 / 3.96
    Flagship IPA. 6.2% abv.



    It even came with a token for one brew from Stones Throw Brewing Co!
