    Is it common practice to use seekabrew.com to make sure you don't send your match something they can access easily?

    I'm lucky that we get a TON of great stouts in NC.

    It's a must for me when looking for beers for a target.

    I tend to agree with everyone. Seekabrew is extremely helpful. I use it in BIFs as well as normal trades when trying to include extras.

    Agreed. There is a lot of fun in filling a box with stuff that isn't available in their state.

    Agreed. The real fun lies in hunting down brews that your target can't normally get

    We have a few in IL I see, chances are they're relatively close. I moved from the city to Madison WI about a year ago, I make the trip down at least once a month if not more.

    Amen brother. I just read that Mother Earth Silent Night is going to be released 11/23 - hope I can grab a bottle and send it my targets way

    I've been trying to land a Gillian/Halia since they came out...Have you guys in Chicago had any trouble finding them?

    Might still be able to find some ... they're pricey so they're sitting around a little more than I expected. BM me if you want to work something out.

    Just found out White Chocolate Moohoo should hit Atlanta next week. Plenty of time for this BIF and to be a part of the box I send out.

    I stopped having BIFs shipped to my house due to the damage. Now I have everything shipped to work. A concrete and steel loading dock has only sustained minor damage so far (I'm talking to you, Pimpinmidget).
    You're welcome to give it your best shot, though.:wink:

    I thought about sending a joke box a day before my real boxes that would just have two 6-packs of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout in it, but I decided my target would probably have a stroke so I shouldn't do that.
