    Ok, time for some new hints. For reference here are the prior hints:

    Hint #1: My Target's state touches a large body of water.
    Hint #2; Like my own home state, my target's state has multiple Köppen climate classifications found within its borders.
    Hint #3: I am shipping to a state that, in the history of the NBS BIF, has produced at least two participants. There may not be two participants from that state in this BIF though.
    Hint #4: My target's box will in all likelihood travel in at least 3 of the 4 directions (North, South, East, & West)

    Hint #5: Of the handful of jobs I held before becoming an attorney, one of them has a very close tie to my target's hometown.
    Hint #6:

    Hint #7: I am not shipping to the Northwest Territory.

    You said "language," not "accent," but I get the impression that you're not shipping to Boston. :wink:

    Perhaps. Or maybe Macau. Nobody ever mentions Macau.

    My aunt lived in rural Pierce county, kinda near Puyallup and Sumner. Her window had a fantastic view of Mount Rainier. When I was 7, on a certain weekend in May, 1980, my family was visiting her and we noticed that morning a strange, gray spiral cloud wrapped around Mount Rainier, almost all the way to the summit. Later that morning, we discovered that Mt. St. Helens had erupted, and we'd all be staying an extra day at that house.

    I'm out. Still, you can feel free to send me beers from Fremont. Any that I don't have to buy for myself are always appreciated.:wink:

    HINT #1 - at least one of my hints is a LIE!!!! It is up to you to decide If this hint is the truth or an actual lie itself

    Hint #2 -My box could travel East but it will definitely travel West

    Hint #3- my peninsula is bigger than anything you got , just saying..

    haul hints

    Hey Target

    Do these beers interest you?

    https://barrique-brewing.square.site/


    You are definitely getting beers from here

    interesting side note- Joel has been brewing for four years. I stopped by his place to pick up the beers I had orders , no brewing , no casks, just music equipment . He is the monitors road manager for Darius Rucker when they tour...has been to Belgium three times. Obviously took some very good notes

    [​IMG]

    traded beers with bearded iris brewmaster / owner Paul Vaughn . He graciously gave me a tour and I told him what I was doing in this BA Bif. He used to do Bif himself and he hand selected these beers for you . What you are not getting is a collaboration beer with creature comforts, burial and other half . He poured me a glass , it didn’t last long

    My state contains at least two peninsulas. Maybe more, if your definition of peninsula is loosely defined.

    Is Michigan's thumb considered a peninsula?

    I went with Google, or perhaps Dictionary.com, so it's perhaps looser than some others. I'm going with: surrounded on three sides by the same body of water, but that body of water need not be a sea or ocean.

    By the time I'm done adjusting the pairings, 50% of the group is going to be sending to me. That's an amazing little humblebrag, and your target should be STOKED!!!

    By many, but not the first one that comes to mind- that would be the Leelenau - up by Traverse City, which has more than one all by itself.

    I’ll second that- he’s sent me beer before and he doesn’t go easy on porches. And I wasn’t even his target!

    I mean, Michigan itself is just a big peninsula with little "peninsulas" growing off of it ... they probably should get that checked out right?

    Washington is the same way. The Kitsap Peninsula grows off the Puget Sound side of the Olympic Peninsula. In fact, up where @BBThunderbolt lives, Washington waters are violated by a Canadian peninsula.

    No humble , all brag

    Paul Vaughn is a genuinely nice guy. I asked him if I could grab a picture of him for my BA post and Target and he said , “ I prefer not, it’s a team effort that is the success of Bearded Iris” he then gave me a bottle of his special anniversary beer, Flourescent . I have plans for that one...

    USPS was clearly confused about where this was supposed to go, but after a couple false starts they figured it out.

    I’m very much looking forward to consuming these straight away. Cheers to you sir, and here’s a toast to your grandpa :beer:

    Hint #1 (Again): Shipping west.

    Hint #2: According to Google Earth, you don't live on a peninsula (or an island or a lake or an island in a lake or ...)

    Hint #3: The HBC didn’t deliver alcohol to your territory.
