    Here we have part 13 of the 50 States LIF. I'd like to the @NickHerrmann for running part 12 and I'll keep this moving.

    Winner gets some bottles including Jack's Abby Barrel Aged Framinghammer, and the coffee and vanilla variants. 1 or 2 more barrel aged offerings may be included, along with some wants.

    Please only participate in this LIF if you can start your own LIF. Your LIF can be whatever type of competition you want it to be, the only rule you have to follow is players from your state and previous winner’s states are not eligible for the contest.

    States NOT eligible are:
    CA, MI, IL, NY, MN, PA, OH, CT, WA, TX, MA, NC, RI

    Also like the original, I'm going to limit it to the contiguous 48 states

    Keeping with the others before me I will keep the questions loosely about US states/countries/provinces of Canada. I will update at the end of the day with hints, limit one guess per hint or day:


    1. About a quarter of a mile from my house is a prestigious academy that won 26 consecutive state high school championships in hockey, what is the name of the school?

    2. What was the San Diego based brewery that first got me into craft beer?

    3. I’ve visited 9 breweries in New England so far. What are those 9?

    4. In 2013 I visited 3 different cities. I first tried Deschutes in one city, Pliny the Elder in another city, and a variety of Great Lakes beer in the last city. The populations are about 600,000, 1.5 million, and 200,000 respectively. What are the 3 cities that I visited?

    5. Rhode Island was the 13th state to ratify the constitution. How many colonies declared their independence from England before Rhode Island?

    Good luck to all and I will be updating this daily.

    @jshusc got 5 out of 9 breweries correct.
    @ubenumber2 got 6 out of 9 correct.

    I'm not giving any brewery hints yet. I want this to last a little longer. However I'll let you guys guess one more time today starting at 7pm ET, 6pm Arkansas time.

    You guys are getting closer.

    All 9 breweries have been said, just not by one person. Everyone that guessed on Thursday got at least 6 out of the 9 breweries so I will say that Sam Adams, Allagash, Coastal Extreme, Tree House & Jack's Abby are the first 5 answers. You guys are on your own for the rest.

    I'll allow 1 guess up until 4pm ET. I see no reason why we can't wrap this up by the end of the weekend. With that being said, I may allow a second guess after 4pm. I'll let you guys know.
