    Another hint or two:

    I have had at least four of the beers my target has ranked in his top ten rated/reviewed.

    My target has had at least two of the beers I have ranked in my top ten rated/reviewed.

    My target will be getting beers from more than one of the Canadian breweries from which I have rated/reviewed beers in my top ten Canadian rated/reviewed list. He has never rated/reviewed a beer from these breweries but he has rated/reviewed Canadian beers on. Beer Advocate.

    Hate 'em.*



    *Cause they're now the Nationals.

    I allow this distinction. I hate the Nats too… for different reasons

    I meet these criteria...I can smell the lambic...even though I could barely get through one Canadian murder investigation (which I got nothing out of)

    It’s March 23rd! You should be halfway through Season 3 of Night Heat if you plan to figure this out. Get the lead out everyone!

    I think there's a beautiful similarity between your clues and this BIF: In a murder investigation show, no matter how clever or stupid the investigator is, the murderer is revealed at the end of the show. In a BIF, no matter how assiduous or lackadaisical (or clever or stupid) the receiver is about clues, they're going to find out who their sender is by the share date.

    Q: Is there a way to ascertain how many beers someone has reviewed without laboriously going through every page of their ratings and counting the ones they took the time to review? I know ratings & reviews used to be counted separately, but it appears that is no longer the case.

    Hint #6: This appears twice in my target's BA username:

    I believe this is semaphore for a specific number or letter. As I have nothing in my username that is repeated, I am thinking I am out.

    Mine could, I suppose, because Bellwether is in town and they do crazy styles. I'll have to research this, but I won't be able to for a week at least.

    Well, you've not yet rated a location in WA on BA, so this could be me or two others...theoretically....maybe...

    Very small. Not sure if I've ever seen their stuff in packages. I visited once with my wife. Near the Auburn area.

    I could probably do some research and come up with a more recognizable H, but that was the first one that came to mind. :slight_smile:

    Glad to hear there's a brewery there. Seems like that stretch of the south Sound area is at times a beer desert, at least when compared to the "Colossus of the North."

    You had me at Rush beverage. Even though I don't know that's a thing. Still down on myself for only seeing them once.

    I'm still in per #2, no idea on #1.
    Hmmm.
