    Dear Target,

    I will ship your box out on May 13th. There is a very limited local sour that will be released that I'm waiting on. I'm hoping they make the fruit variant of this again this year so I can give you both. I hope you don't mind.

    P.S. If my target figures me out I'll include something really fun in the box :slight_smile:

    Sincerely,
    Your Sender

    This is a shout out to everyone...boxes are starting to fly and the pace is picking up....make sure you start checking front porches....and please, bend at the knees when lifting. I dont want to hear about some dumbass who popped an L2 because his porch got busted up from a heavy box.

    To my targets...shame on you. I was forced into lying to my wife about how much certain bottles cost, going into your boxes. The sanctity of marriage has been ruined.... (top bottle was 45 bucks each :slight_smile: )

    What you don't know is that TWO local breweries are releasing sours... one is more than likely that of which you speak the second is a pretty luxurious place :wink:

    I would guess that Jesterking is finally releasing Viking Metal soon in Bottles.

    My target has many wants from the opposite coast but only one from my home state.

    (He should add more that I can get from Phil Harmstead or Jason Perkins)

    If I am your target use your best judgement, I am not too picky.

    Your box is packed and almost ready to fly.

    I follow Freetail and Jester King mostly. I have trade partners in TX. One near each.

    My box will hit UPS today. Should make it there by the weekend. Along with 3 other boxes for the same general type area, same state at least.

    He said he was getting an Ananke for me but after the bif we can talk. I have many things that don't get down to TX according to the other guys. Was thinking you were my sender until I went back thru the hints again. Damn.

    WORD!! I wouldnt say I am a Whale hunter because I usually dont want to give away my left nut for anything, but I usually can rake in some sizable tuna, and swordfish. pretty much all of my beer gets shared with 5-15 people of the Virginia Craft Beer Society, so that all we ever look for is something we can't get and something new.

    so after reading thru hints again I am pretty sure no one that has posted is my sender. one or 2 are close but I don't think its them. Etregourmet people, what is the usual delivery window for the orders. I want to make sure I have some Bad Ass sourness for the Bachelor party.

    I hit a sour release a few weeks ago to grab a bottle for this. The release was not in my home state.

    My target's box was picked up today and should land Thursday in a state where production of a movie premiering this week was done (and I'll totally be nerding out to that movie on Thursday night, too.)
