    I'll gladly try anything once. Like I said, I keep trying, just the attempts have fallen to near zero of late.

    @JayORear 's right. I'm not big on most wine barrel aged beers, especially stouts; I appreciate the complexity they add, but they don't quite jell.

    Russian River's wine barrel aged sours, on the other hand ... those are masterpieces. Supplication is probably my favorite: aged in pinot noir barrels with cherries added.

    These are ales that can make one really reconsider aging beer in wine barrels. But I agree that most other attempts I've had, outside of the occasional white wine aged saison or so, haven't hit the mark for me.

    Doesn't that depend on where in MI he is? Since a chunk of MI is in the central zone as well (as revealed in a previous BIF (I think?))

    I'm pretty damn sure I'm out with your last hint. The only one person I know of from St. Cloud who was in the Olympics was Elise Post, and she didn't get the Gold.
    I'm going to be honest, all my hints are/will be real. Extremly obscure at times, but real.

    EDIT, what the hell one more hint tonight before I pop open my beer:
    Hint 11 - St. Cloud, MN is/was the home to 2 Lt. Governors of Minnesota (9th, and 44th), and was home to the 4th Governor of Minnesota. Your town/city is not home to any Governors or Lt. Governors of your state.

    Previous hints:

    Hint 1 - I have not shipped to my target before.
    Hint 2 - Your city/town is at a lower elevation than mine.
    Hint 3 - Your city/town has a smaller population than where I have my packages delivered, but bigger that where I actually live (Waite Park, MN)
    Hint 4 - Your city/town was founded before mine.
    Hint 5 - My box is leaving my time zone (Central)
    Hint 6 - My target hasn't had Surly Pentagram before, or hasn't reviewed it. That will change.
    Hint 7 - I have been a member of BA longer than my target.
    Hint 8 - My target has posted at least one hint (so far) for her/his target.
    Hint 9 - I have more beer reviews than you do.
    hint 10 - I have never been to your state

    Actually, there's a fjord about 25 miles east of where I live. If you don't believe me, then ask @TongoRad .

    Bellsville KS is the geographic center of the US, my target is east of that.

    Through no fault of your own, your elimination is incorrect. But only because I haven't revealed how my hints work yet. :wink:

    Yes, definitely!

    That was one of my favorite clues too- I'm happy to hear that you remembered it. :+1: :beers:
