    Hmmm, I think I’m still in this after 15 hints (along with a handful of others)... if so please don’t let my exposure to New Glarus dissuade you!

    Sorry, I've popped open a beer already. I'm home for today.

    I maintain hope they’ll ditch that only in WI thing someday, but don’t really see it happening

    I really doubt it. For a short time in the late 90's, I believe, they did go into Illinois. I just can't see it happening again. Their brand is in large part based on being Wisconsin only. Now, I do remember Shorts Brewing based their brand on being Michigan only, but they eventually decided to expand.

    Who knows in the end. It's only an hour and a half for me to get to Wisconsin, if I want to get their beers, and I do like going to western Wisconsin for their beers.

    Well this is an unfortunate haul hint ... I had picked up a barrel aged quad for my target since that seemed like something they might enjoy, but apparently the brewery announced yesterday that its "not developing in the bottle as intended" sooooo that one is staying here in IL.

    Yea, I'm in the same boat - its an hour drive up to Kenosha and I can get pretty much any New Glarus beers I want at the few places that carry them in that area. I usually make that run a few times a year to get some stuff for these BIFs, LIFs and my own enjoyment.

    Yikes. That sucks.
    I love a good Quad. I got a bottle of the New Glarus 25th in a BIF outside of BA, and it was amazing. Trappest 10 is also stellar.

    Also, congratulations on the little bundle of joy almost here.

    Hint #9: With a different sort of finessing, my target could be at home in a Mad Max movie.

    I don't know, but I'm getting worried with your hints. Keeping a close eye on you.

    Odd that they released it if it wasn't ready. Suarez released a barleywine last month that they sat on longer than they originally expected (3+ years) because they didn't want to release it until it was ready.

    Haul hint - I picked up a couple of beers at work that came in yesterday.
    I hope you like a good triple IPA, and a Lager. Yes, a Lager. I sampled both, and both were very good in my book.

    I think its infected but they don't want to say its infected. To their credit, at least they are replacing the 4-packs with other beers, so I'm going to just do that.

    Hint # 3 Interesting history of the area my target lives, apparently a lot to thank the railroad for. Hint # 4 The song "16 Tons" references, if not the same entity, at least a similar entity, that my targets closest town may have originated as.

    And for reference, my earlier hints.
    Hint # 1 - I will not be shipping North.
    Hint # 2 - Though the box(s) will likely travel through another time zone on its way, my target is in my time zone.

    Hint #11: This target has less beer karma than this sender.
