    My target currently lives where I spent the vast majority of my life. Luckily for this person, I know exactly what distribution they get and will be able to put together a great box.

    To my sender, I have only casually updated my wants since the website was changed a few years back. Don't worry about not hitting any wants, just send beers I haven't reviewed on the site and I'll be overjoyed.

    Hint 1 - My target lives in the same timezone as I do

    Hint 2 - Pretty confident I am going to nail mostly wants on my targets sour and non-sour list. They are going to need to break out the Desitin to help the burning after I am done with them :slight_smile:

    My targets state gets far better distribution than mine; guess I'll have to break out the big dogs.

    Luckily I'll be traveling a bit before the ship date, so I may be able to round up some of my targets wants, because they would be near impossible to procure here in PA (the sours at least).

    To shipper, and as others have said, my wants are by no means an exclusive list and are probably a pain in the ass to find. I'm happy with anything, especially if its rare or unavailable in PA.

    I've never done a BIF before but I plan to make it a memorable one by hitting some of my targets harder to get wants.

    My target lives more than 1000 miles from me.

    For my sender, I love sour goodness, but not so much wicked crazy funk, but hey, I'll try most anything twice. I often very trying new stuff if it isn't available in pa or md. Across the pond sours are always good.

    My target see's less snowfall in a year on average than I do.

    To my sender: I'll add some wants over the next 2-3 days.

    Hint #2: My target has never reviewed any of the amazing sours I have to offer but may or may not have them on their wants list :wink:

    Hint #2 My target lives in a state with multiple NFL teams.

    To my sender, I prefer tart sours with less funk. Also not a big fan of sours aged in wine barrels

    Hint #2: A basketball team from my target's state made the NCAA tournament. They didn't get as far a team from my state. Go CARDS!

    Hint #3: My target has posted in this thread.

    Is it obsessive to take off work to shop for beer for this BIF? Oh well, what's done is done - my target's box is going out Monday and, heaven help him, he's going to have some drinking to do.

    Like.

    You gotta love the dedication.

    To my targets, I think they know who they are...I am doing some serious bottle shopping over the next three weeks with some pretty BIG bottles.

    Hint #1- my target has posted in this thread

    Hint#2- My target wears a larger shirt than I do.

    To my sender- My wants list is probably very tough, so don't kill yourself. I am always looking to try new sours that I cannot get in local distro.

    To my sender, I updated my wants a little bit this morning.

    To my target, I'm picking up a brewery t-shirt on Tuesday (and taking advantage of half off growlers) and your package will be complete! I will definitely be one of the earliest shippers.
