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

Hint #1: I am shipping South and East.
#2: The nearest MLB team to my target is not in the same division as the Seattle Mariners.
3: I have physically been in my targets state of residence. (I have been to 29-1/2 states. the 1/2 depends on whether one counts just being in the airport changing planes as being in the state. I generally don't.)
4: My targets state touches a large body of water.
5: The body of water my targets state touches is neither the Gulf of Mexico nor the Rio Grande.
6: My target lives North of I-20 and East of I-35.
7: Sehome Hill in my city has an elevation of 620 feet. This is not as high as the highest point in my targets state, but it is higher than the lowest point in my targets state.

 

I CAN FEEL IT NOW
THE SWEET, SWEET FOUNTAIN OF ILLINOIS DELICIOUSNESS FROM THE HEARTLAND
ALSO THE UNSTOPPABLE TIDE OF LAMBIC SURGING FROM THE NORTH

This is the most glorious imaginary BIF haul I have ever imagined

 

This is your PNW beer distribution plan, correct?

 

No, it's @Roguer 's sandwich delivery route.

 

Hey! That's a great idea! Gotta do something with it.

 

Hey, I think I'm still in this one!

 

Time for another clue before I get so far behind I'm kicked out.
Hint 2 (or 3? I keep forgetting)

My target has rated or reviewed more beers than I have.

 

And I’m still in, but I think most people on the east coast still are in.

And I’m out, my list has grown by 2-3 today.

 

I'm going to be honest, Tired Hands Milkshakes are the only ones I like, and this one in particular. It's a pretty special beer.

 

What ever happened to the brew cafe? That was such a neat place to go to. I’m kind of out of the loop but do you know if it will ever open again?

 

Thanks for that, might save me from buying a bunch and wondering what went sideways.

I think it’s a pretty amazing beer for what they say is in there. Thanks again for letting me try it!

 

Don't know, but I'm hoping to drop by the Fermenteria next week, so I'll see what I can find out.

 

I don't remember your other hints, but this one does not rule me out.

 

The smokey smell of that brew cafe, eating a panini with those house made pickles, and having a beer in that cozy little brick building is something I’ll always remember fondly.

If you find anything out I’d be curious to hear.

 

This remains true.
