    So I just got my box!!!! And yeah, I never really saw this thread, but I do have a great box going west later this week.

    I got the following:

    Bottles 20 12oz
    Zombie dust FFF- super want
    Alpha King FFF
    Gumball head FFF - definitely want to try
    Edacsac Dekoorc Eert, dark horse
    Crooked tree ipa, dark horse
    Brewers cut, Real Ale Brewing - very interested
    Spotted Cow, New Glarus -definitely want to try
    Berliner Weiss, New Glarus- excited
    Black Top, New Glarus-boom boom
    Blackbeard, FFF - awesome!
    Hoptimum, Sierra Nevada- always a good one
    Anniversary ale, shorts
    Beard of Zeus, shorts
    Pumpkin, lakefront x2
    Double trouble, founders
    Hop *****, tyranena- just the way I like them
    Wailua, kona beer
    Bootleggers BB hard root beer, sprecher

    Cans- 3 12oz 3 16oz
    Anti hero, revolution brewing- awesome can
    Devil ale, satan brewing- baby Jesus!!!
    Daisy cutter, half acre
    Hop shock, satan brewing
    Gossamer, half acre
    Pony, half acre


    Fallen soldiers: 3...
    Ten fiddy - exploded when another stout 12oz bottle stabbed it
    Unidentified 12 oz stout? Shattered and stabbed the ten fiddy to death
    Unidentified 750ml bottle dipped in wax

    Looks like someone kicked the box or was just in really rough shape after the bottles were broken. The bottom was falling apart, but the box inside was secure and the peanuts absorbed a lot of the liquid.

    Definitely loved the quantity and am super excited to try so many new brews!!!! Thanks for hitting my wants Zombie Dust and ten fiddy!!!! Thank you for the great box!!!

    What a bunch of awesome hauls today! Lots of great boxes. Love the beer ****.

    On another note, I have absolutely no idea who is sending to me. I'm good at figuring out other's hints but not my own. That or my sender is silent. Hope he wasn't crushed under that big box of beer he's packing for me.

    Dear Target- Shipped Monday, Package arriving next Tuesday... You probably know who you are by now, but one more hint can't hurt. Your subject of your Avatar is NOT just a picture of beer, beer glassware, or beer logo.

    To my Sender - After today's ****, getting super excited. I'm outta town on Saturday, so depending on what day/time the box actually lands on my porch, I'll either post pics on Friday OR Sunday

    Awesome day for hauls. As a noob, I can see how this can get addicting very very quickly

    Final hint that should be a give away:
    My target is too busy running around to accept beer. So his box wont be shipped out until Monday

    Luckily I live in a great pretty safe area. Doesn't hurt that I have 2 cops living on my street and my landlord is a retired town cop.

    To my target: Work ran way too long today, but I snagged my freshies. Box goes out tomorrow. Just a teaser - Your box has at least one beer from 2011 and 2012 and Tuesday.

    Dude--I'm not here for swag--gimme beer, and you did. You hit wants and style wants all over the place, and threw in some stuff that takes me a little bit out of my normal beer rut. Always like trying different things and out of everything you sent I think there were only 3 I've had before.
    I hope the box you get makes you as happy as this one made me!!

    With me being away from my home PC, I've left my elimination spreadsheet. I have no clue who my sender is, but I am pretty sure I have it down to just a few. If only I could remember who they were! Should be very very interesting... :grinning:

    DAMN!!!! So sorry to hear that 3 of them were lost. The stout if my memory servers me correctly should have been an Elda M Milk Stout and the 750 should have been a Serendipity. Like I said in an earlier post, I tried to hit as many wants as I could but had to really go for style preferences. Hope you enjoy them and I am going to try and round up duplicates for the fallen soldiers and get those back in your hands. Did the glasses make it? Those are from the 2 breweries closest to my house. Would have loved to send better beers and or swag, but I am still building up my cellar and really don't have the wales to send out.

    Cheers!

    A final hint/update:
    Hint 1: My target did not post in this thread prior to my first post in this thread.
    Hint 2: I will be shipping to the north of the Mason-Dixon line (if it extended indefinitely).
    Hint 3: My target will be happy to receive a bomber of Bear Republic Cafe Racer, even though I do not see it listed as a "want" on his BA profile.
    Hint 4: Today I visited a local brewery that delivers one of its brews exclusively by bicycle to keep that beer local to the town. If they were instead located on a street with the same name nearest you, you'd be able to have this beer delivered to you at home.
    Hint 5: My target has some sort of voodoo skills for acquiring out-of-distribution beer (even ones just released), and I've been made aware of the fact that he has about half of what I was planning to send already in his possession (if the internet does not lie).
    Hint 6: My target's state has as many people in this BIF as my state (based on the awkward 66-person list that may have up to two inaccuracies).
    Hint 7: This box should take 4 days to arrive by FedEx ground.
    Hint 8: My target should be able to post a picture of his haul in this thread when he receives it, but it's going to be close.
    Hint 9: My target's box is resting in the careful hands of FedEx in Perrysburg, OH, less than 100 miles from its ultimate destination, which is should reach tomorrow.
    Some hints about what's coming:
    One of the beers coming to you is a little older than I'd like it to be, but I'm sure you'll understand.
    At least three of the beers in your box have already had their pictures posted in this thread; at least one of those was in your possession recently.

    edit: The box is on the move again as of 11:54 your time.
