NBS BIF #15 Hints and Hauls: Was it Over When the Canadians Bombed BIF #14? HELL NO!

Hint #2: My target lives in a state that had at least one team in the NCAA men's basketball tournament when it started.

 

I solidly believe you are mistaken.

Source? Post #2 of this very thread. Nowhere under the RULES does it say that previous pairings cannot happen.

Is your mail carrier still mad? Are you prepared for your mail carrier to be mad again? Cuz, ya know what I, personally, would find hilarious? If the Boss of this BIF thought it would be funny to re-pair a certain sender with the only target who has ever actually cried UNCLE!!!!!!!!!

I suspect Boss and I have similar senses of humor.

 

I just got back from shopping for my target, and I may have been overzealous.

Also, I'm not done.

 

How ya gonna get those Dick's burgers and fries there in a prompt and timely manner?

Target, if Terry tries to tell you that you should put Dick's in your mouth, don't trust him.



I got fooled once, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

 

As I tell everyone who comes to visit: You haven't been to Seattle if you haven't put a bag of Dick's in your mouth. My standard order is 4 cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and a chocolate shake. preferably at the 45th St location where city hookers and suburban high school cheerleaders are in line together.

 

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

Hint #2 - Chicago bears Super Bowl shuffle
Hint #3- the latitude and longitude of this work of art

 

Hmmm. I got nothing.

 

Well, Purdue's tournament points just hit 159. So I am guessing that @Beersnake1 will be out by next Friday, unless the Boilermakers literally scores less than 20 points in their next game.

 

Hint #2:

• 2015-09-24: 2beerdogs reviewed Alewerks Brewing Company - Bourbon Barrel Porter (BBP), from USA: Virginia, rating it 4 (rDev=-6.3%)
• 2014-09-27: @superspak reviewed Stillwater Artisanal Ales - Débutante, from USA: Maryland, rating it 4 (rDev=4.2%)

And voila...my target is revealed...to anyone who has the secret decoder ring. Don't worry, I have lots more hints.

I'm not sure I can contain my excitement. I'm ready to ship this stash of beer RIGHT NOW!

 

The funny thing is I feel like you're actually telling the truth and you did indeed make up some code that clear as day is revealing who your target is.

 

Hint 5:

 

Some data...
Just for reference, we added 71 more reviews/ratings over the weekend (not including @Roguer's two earliest Saturday morning beers), now we're up to 50,203 reviews amongst the 19 of us. Of those, there are 31,199 unique beers.

The most commonly reviewed beer is Pliny the Elder -- 18 of us have reviewed it! @Mbgreg has not, but he doesn't have many reviews on BA, so I suspect he just has better things to do with his time on the site (like participate in BIFs!). No idea if he's had PtE, though.

Of those 18 reviews, @BBThunderbolt was the most critical, giving it a 3.65, and both @Roguer and @Rub_This_BBQ gave it a clean 5/5 (Roguer's review and Rub_This_BBQ's). Our average score for this venerable classic is 4.41, as opposed to the BA average of 4.64. @Roguer was also the first person to review this beer, back in 2006, and @jonphisher the most recent -- last month. If I remember correctly, I saw some traffic about getting it in a trade with @beergoot.

Sideline stat: There are only 16 beers among all those 50,203 that have gotten a perfect 5/5 from any of us. PtE is the only beer that got two of them, though both Goose Island and North Coast have earned two each as well.

Second place for "most commonly reviewed amongst BIF #15 participants" is an eight-way tie at 16 between the following:

• 3 Floyds Brewing Co. - Zombie Dust
• The Alchemist - Heady Topper
• North Coast Brewing Co. - Old Rasputin
• Goose Island Beer Co. - Bourbon County Brand Stout
• Prairie Artisan Ales - Bomb!
• Founders Brewing Company - KBS
• Ayinger Privatbrauerei - Ayinger Celebrator
• Toppling Goliath Brewing Company - Pseudo Sue

 

I think I’ve had every beer in that list. All but three have come through trading or BIFs here.

 

I've had every beer in that list at least twice.

It's a pretty delicious list.

 

Although...the last time I thought I had an indecipherable scheme, @WunderLlama destroyed it.
