    Did the locals call it Bloody Bloomfield Tavern? BBT?
    Am I your target?

    Also, I gotta say I'm digging all the music involved in this BIF so far... Pinz in particular between the great hip hop and pluckers has been filling my earballs

    Well, it seems like this is becoming tradition, but Presto my golden retriever has broken yet another swag item... at least I caught him this time before he could start chewing on broken glass. Thanks to @Xul I was able to get a replacement glass because I was fairly sure I'd bought the last one at my local beer emporium. I can't get too mad at Presto though - his litter was bred to produce Search and Rescue dogs (two of his brothers and an uncle are active avalanche SAR dogs, and his grandma was as well), and he's always excited to investigate anything new (or search the garage for the 1000th time in case I've left anything exciting laying around).

    Warning shots have been fired. Ninja launch to follow. Prepare yourselves and your porches.

    Hint #5

    Beer has passed between us in one way or another…
    Maybe both ways.
    I don’t recall.
    But I am glad I finally get to drop on you real proper like...

    I would be surprised if @Roguer was NOT behind such a conspiracy.

    BBT indeed! And the previous roller coaster question, the Pippin became the Thunderbolt at Kennywood Park. Lemonade was the answer to the Gang Starr hint. I'm still putting the finishing touches on things, but artillery will be flying soon. Will keep you updated!
    Totally agree with this, and thanks for the compliment. My mind always gravitates to music in relation to most things in my day to day life, so it's only natural I bring that into my beer obsession.

    The great thing about sowing conspiracies is that you only need to sow one; the people do all the work for the rest. :wink:

    I googled "pippin rollercoaster", and turns out Elvis' favorite coaster in Memphis was the Zippin' Pippin. Go F'ing figure!

    Fun fact: in my 61+ plus years on this rock, I've never been on a rollercoaster.

    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.
    Hint #6: My target has ticked an impressive number of beers from one of my state's best known breweries. He's actually had a couple that I've missed out on.
    Hint #7: My target and I each have at least one sentient being in our avatar.

    I loved rollercoasters as a kid, and loved to ride in general. I usually steered away from the spinning rides though. There reached a point in life where visiting amusement parks wasn't exactly a priority and went many years without visiting one. At some point in my early 30's a friend and I decided to go to Kennywood again. By the second or third ride I was pretty much ready to be done riding for the day. It was one of the more jarring reminders that I could no longer endure the abuse that my younger self inflicted.

    TLDR; I can't ride like I could in my youth, but now I appreciate beer more than ever. Seems like a fair trade.
