    Went to Zwanze day at anchorage brewing co. over the weekend. Had a great time! Dont have to buy tickets or anything, just show up and drink as much Cantillon as you can.
    My wife and I got there at about 1pm and had the initial glass of Zwanze. It was delish! I had to have a glass of the classic geuze to follow that. Then it was time for shawarmas made by Delicious Dave. My first shawarma, I thought it was a gyro at first, but I can see where Dave got his first name.
    My wife was done at this point, she was going to drive us home, so I had a few more. Mamouche, works of love anchorage, iris gran cru, kriek, and to finish it off another Zwanze. Went home and took a well deserved nap.

    Hint #1 My target lives in a state that is not as big as my own
    Hint#2 my target lives in a place that is approximately 10 times more populated than my whole state. You also have more registered machine guns than there are people in my home town of Sitka
    Hint#3 Catfish
    Hint#4 Speaking of ghosts. There is a place in my targets town that is famously haunted.
    Hint#5 My target has a brewery in their city that also hosted Zwanze day. Did you get to go?
