Halle Berry's pet Octopus: NBS BIF 8

You had my exact thought process when I eliminated him as mine.

 

(some) dogs have the patience of saints.

 

I suspect my target flailed drunkenly at a call-out last night but didn't seem to articulate it.



So we'll keep the hints going!

Content hint #something: It looks like my target hasn't had one of these.



We may have to fix that.

Recap:
Hint #1: Not shipping west.
Hint #2: I've never shipped beer to my target before.
Hint #3: My target was gracious enough to appear in NBS today (9/16). Good man, and cheers!
Hint #4: I posted a haul hint to NBS today (9/16) which also may eliminate some of you as targets.
Hint #5: Hint #5: As of this morning, my target has posted less than or as many hints as I have.
Hint #6: The population density of my target's state or province is not lower than that of my home state.
Hint #7: I've closed more trades in recent history than my target.
Hint #8: My target's place of residence has toll roads.
Hint #9: Not shipping to Indiana.
Hint #10: Not shipping to Illinois.
Hint #11: There are no less than four big stouts or porters on my wish list that are produced by one specific brewery that is local to my target. Consider “local” as being <100 miles.
Hint #12: I have only tried one beer by this brewery so far - and it wasn’t a stout or a porter.
Hint #13: I also have lots of IPAs on my wishlist - there are many produced by one brewery local to my target, but in another region, that might be slightly closer to home than the brewery mentioned above.
Hint #14: As the lore goes, it seems that one of my favorite comic book heroes lives in the same state as my target.
Hint #15: I didn't even know what this term meant, but here ya go - "bedroom community". Sho ain't what it had me thinking, lemme tell yas.
Hint #16: My target's municipal clerk has a surname that looks hilariously similar to a certain bodily waste product


^^ This hint makes me laugh a lot. That poor lady.

Hint #17: My target has visited the brewery that I reference in hint #11 - he can probably find it on the first page of his place reviews. Just barely.

 

Sometimes things just work out great!

 

No half chub here, that's full on woody!

 

Black note is pretty solid, never had the BA expedition came close a few times but no cigar. You got any idea the sweet spot on that Black Note? I got a 2014 I did not want to sit on it too long.

 

Hint #9a: Ovaltine drives by that educational institution every day for work.

That's right, you just witnessed the "Tangential Hint Paradox" (registered trademark Ovaltine BIF Industries).

 

OK. Last hint. Because 8 hints for BIF #8.

My inner 13 yo wants to play the guess the name game, but then again everything he wants to do is so totally wrong .

 

C’mon @larryi86 , spill it.

 

So after moving you back and forth on my list a million times I think you are now off for good, thanks to this last one and the basketball clue.

 

Looks like @JBowenGeorgia has been a busy bee. Here is what I got hit with.


The Eclipse is apple brandy(the only one on my wants)!!!
Of course I’m excited for the DDH Ghost, but these are all new ticks and can’t wait to try them all. Just in time too. I’m about to head out to a beer fest where I can sip on some brews and check out some caged beasts. Thanks for this killer box!

 

Why not? I'm gonna go out on a limb and call out @Ozzylizard as my sender.

 

@JBowenGeorgia is a BIF rockstar. Creature Comforts is the real deal, IMHO.

 

He’s not done yet, either.

 

Looks like @jhavs and @LloydDobler aren't the only ones hit by @JBowenGeorgia today. Looks like I’m going to have to start drinking my fresh hops faster!!!
