    That G-Bot glass you got me? All the best beers go in there, then disappear quickly.

    Hints #6a & 6b: One of my targets really needs to stop drinking all the different beers I was planning on sending him/her (thank God for untappd )...the other target may possibly get a newly-bottled local coffee beer in his/her box (if I can snag one this week).

    Haha I think it's worth checking the ratings they give it. Even if I've already had a beer, if I give it a 4 or higher I'd be happy to have it again!

    Know I said no more hints till I shipped, but I'm bored.

    Target 1:
    - East of me
    - Getting a Kuhnhenn wine (if you haven't put 2 and 2 together, this means you liked the post that stated 'if you like this post, you get Kuhnhenn wine)
    - Sent to InstantMessinger after JustinF was lame.
    - Lives in a city that shares its name with a University

    Target 2:
    - West of me
    - Very soon to celebrate 1 year on BA
    - Probably a genius
    - Lives way down south
    - Lives in a city that shares its name with an old friend's stripper name (male; yes he was an actual stripper)

    Here is a little spread sheet to help keep track of who has received boxes and who has not... Link
    If you have time, add your senders to the list. Thanks!

    Nice idea! It looks like you have to request access? I did, but I wasn't sure if that's how you wanted to keep it.

    Sorry about that... I changed the share settings.

    These spread sheets are my favorite thing ever.

    And here comes the porn. Huge thanks to Jonollan for putting together a box comprised almost entirely of wants. I already opened up a Zombie Dust and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely lived up to the hype. I cannot wait to try these beers, you did an awesome job!

    More hauls! More hauls!

    It's an oppressive 88 with crazy humidity here in CNY (there's a reason why I don't live in the south) and I'm going deep with gin & sodas to beat the heat. Happy Sunday BIF'rs!

    That's BIFF'rs.
    Crazy humidity is why they make central A/C---hunkered down, listening to the electric meter spin outta control and drinking North Carolina goodies (thanks to Pimpinmidget) followed by a Founders Breakfast Stout.

    Haha MY BAD! FFFFFFFFr's represent! Glad to see you're enjoying getting hit with the pimp stick :grinning:

    Central A/C isn't so much a thing here, so my wife and I are hunkered in the bedroom with our only window AC unit, watching Parks & Rec. Though come to think of it, I think this New Glarus Raspberry Tart might cut the heat pretty darn well...

    Oh, hey. Just read this post again for the first time. Overall ratings are overrated. Cuzco BIFFFFFrs count the most.

    Hint 1: My targets will be getting a beer that's name puns on a Jock Jam. Although this beer has seemingly disappeared from the wants list from which its inception came.
    Hint 2: It would take two and a half weeks to walk to either of my targets. But probably a little longer because of the sled full of beer I'd be pulling.
    Hint 3: One, if not both, of my targets did not give their home addresses for shipping. It's hard to tell on Google Earth for one target.
    Hint 4: Apologies in advance to both targets for not being to hit more than 2 or 3 exact wants :slight_frown:, but a lot of similar styles and fine-ass locals are coming their way! These include 2 BA brews each and many beers the Bros thought were better than the masses did.
    Hint 5: Beer for both targets will be delivered to the same state to locations only about 80 miles from each other. Driving between them during rush hour could potentially be quicker if you instead went through a bordering state.
    Hint 6: Made a trip over to 'Sconny today and got wants for each target from an indigenous favorite.
    Hint 7: To reuse some hints from the n00b BIF but for different beers, both targets are getting something from a brewery that's just one dude and one target is getting a beer that would make Dr. Timothy Leary proud.
    Hint 8: I'm shipping a tad late partly because I'm waiting for a local beer to be released but also because the berries I need to make the syrup that accompanies this beer style are not quite ripe yet.

    Just got done packing up 4 boxes worth of beer....don't get to excited...I only had 1 12 bottle shipper left and needed to patchwork the other targets beers.

    I was able to hit some wants for both targets and filled in the rest with local distro summer goodies.

    3 boxes are heading east to a person I have some BIF history with.

    The other box is heading south to someone who I have yet to see post (could be wrong).

    East, check. History, check.
    Uh, oh, I'm still sore from the last time I was Surlyized.
