NBS BIF #13: Peninsular Envy 2 (The Rocket-Ball Inception)

Man speaking of peninsulas...
The biggest I've been to is probably the Kenai peninsula. It was beautiful. Alaska is beautiful. We almost had a participant from Alaska! That would have been cool. Alas, it was not meant to be. Maybe if things were rearranged we would have a participant from that most majestic of peninsulas. Or maybe I'm all mixed up. Maybe that's why this seems doesn't seem more apropos, and if you were all mixed up you could be there, too!

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..

Hint#4 Lady & Gentlemen - Your state has a team in the big dance, ladies and/or gentlemen

Hint #5 - Wouldn’t we all like to be wasting away in Margaritaville? Jimmy Buffett knows (edit : about Latitudes), do you?


Hint #6- My target’s state abuts a large body of water

Hint #7 - I have played , coached or refereed soccer in your state

You are definitely getting beers from here



And from here

https://beardedirisbrewing.com/



And I think from here , too

 

Alright, I gotta end this thing so I can send a box early next week.

Hint #1: I’ve shipped beer to a LOT of states, but I’ve never shipped to my target’s state.

Hint #2: I am shipping in the same time zone in which I reside.

Hint #3: My target has an impressive beer nerd resume, and has done one thing on this esteemed beer nerd website that I've never done.

Hint #4: My target's state has an equal or lesser number of syllables than my state.

Hint #5: There has been an incorrect assumption made about one of the previous hints.

Hint #6: My target has participated in this thread roughly 1/3 as much as I have.

Hint #7: I am shipping a lotta East, then a smidge of North.

Hint #8: My target lives in a state with a HUUUUUUUUUGE peninsular - as a matter of fact, I believe that peninsular, as illustrated in a post made in the previous BIF, inspired this BIF.

 

Hint #1: I'm reasonably certain my boxes won't cross a fjord.
Hint #2: I've both shipped to, and received from, my target's state. But she or he wasn't involved in those transactions.
Hint #3: Sadly, my target's closest Division 1 team isn't dancing this year.
Hint #4: If my target's town were located in my state, then it would be one of the largest in population.
HINT #5: My target's hometown and mine don't have much in common. But they are both bisected by railroads.

 

Riiiight. "as far as you know" he/she wasn't.

 

My kitchen fridge currently has beers in it from the following breweries:

Tilquin, Belgium
Smog City, California
Aslin, Virginia
Bellwoods, Ontario
New Glarus, Wisconsin
Third Moon, Ontario
Sir John, Quebec
Revolution, Illinois
Hill Farmstead, Vermont
The Answer, Virginia
Westvleteren, Belgium.

I have never set foot in two of the States/Provinces/Country listed. A box I send will not be going to one of these two States/Provinces/Country. If your State shares a border with any of the places on this list in which I have set foot, you are not getting a box from me either.

That said, am I participating this round?

 

Because one would have moar success guessing lotto numbers than yoar hyntz?

 

Happy St. Patrick's, my fellow reprobates!
Currently getting down with Bangers & Mash and a mug of Irish Kate, an imperial red (though not so imperial anymore, at 7% abv).

It's a pity the quality of Iron Goat's packaged beer is so variable these days, otherwise my target would be getting something from them. I suppose they still might, as a bonus for ballast. We'll just have to see.

 

If I did this right, I'm out.
Considering my math skills, that's a big if. Otherwise, I'd have majored in something more mathematically challenging than history.

 

On the other hand, there's a pretty good chance my target will get something from Whistle Punk. This is their Irish Red, clocking in at a very quaffable 5%, and is quite easy going on the palate.
Edit: forgot to post the pic.

 

Speaking of my target and Whistle Punk, they do lagers really well. This is their Munich Pilsener, which is a kind of hybrid between a Czech pilsener and a Munich helles.

If my target likes lagers, s/he should like this post, and I'll throw at least one in.

 

Hint #6: Have I been your target in a previous NBS BIF? If so, then you are not my target.

Hint #7: Many years ago I saw this band at the Middle East, not in the Middle East. While there I drank a Rolling Rock to remind me of home. Do you live in the state that this occurred? If so, then you are not my target.

 

By my count I believe I've officially eliminated 10 of you, with 3 more on the precipice. I have no clue how right I am, but this is great fun as always.

Speaking of fun, @Mbgreg if it hasn't been guessed yet(and I haven't seen it), was it Spain?

 

Philly venue?

 

Fuck it. Another LIF, but a quick one.

I'm using the following date format: mm/dd/yyyy (example June 22 1869 would be 06/22/1869) . The numbers added together are the answer (06+22+1869=1897) plus add the answer down to 2 digits (1+8+9+7=25). Now, reverse the 2 digit answer.

At this moment, it is 11:40pm, 3/17/21. Answers must be submitted by 00:01am, 3/19/21. Closest number wins.

Using the above formula to calculate: my birth day/month/year, to the 2 digit place, reversed.

Y'all got 24 hours to get your one guess in.

GO!

 

out on 6 and 7 ( guessing Middle East Boston) but since out 6 7 doesn’t matter.

 

I would say "so much math", but I'm the one whose clues have all been about numbers, so....

I'll guess 02

 

This last set of clues should make this clear to my target.

Hint #1 - It's a magic number. Schoolhouse Rock
Hint #2 - # of Oscars won by the top rated (by users) film of all time on IMDB No additional clues on this one...if you can't figure it out, it's because you're too lazy to look it up!
Hint #3 - My user name on BA .....what you'd find on the back of the uniform he wears
Hint #4 - Reed Richards, Susan Storm Richards, Benjamin Grimm, Jonathan Storm
Hint #5 - Dominik Hasek, Nate Prosser their sweaters have this in common (just focus on Hasek and what you'd see on the back of his sweater)
Hint #6 - Phoenix (If I were to call somebody who lives there after the "1" these are the first three numbers I'd enter)
Hint #7 - All of the above clues refer to a number in some way. Those numbers are relevant to one of you.
Hint #8 - Added a little bit more in bold to a couple of the clues above
Hint #9 - Added even more context in bold italics to above clues
Hint #10 - The "answer" to each of hints 1-6 is a number. In some cases, a single digit, in other cases a couple digits, in one case, 3 digits. In total, there are 9 digits from those 6 hints. Those 9 digits represent the numbers in your zip code & the numbers of your street address, but not in order.
