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

The Rueben Pils is a tasty beer. I did send a Fremont for you. Two more boxes are heading that way in a day or two. Glad they came safe, just a sample what is to come.
Cheers Jammin

 

Good eyes! Technically I was still working, but debugging this particular package means at least 20 minutes of prep, then run, then ETL - again and again and again and again and so on - until it brakes. So no problem!

 

These BIFS inevitably take me down weird rabbit holes where I search through BA to find stuff, then cross-reference it against where I live, only to confirm that no, the person I had already eliminated as my sender is in fact still not my sender.

 

Thank you Jammin! Somebody already posted on Imgur under that image that it was their opinion that the rueben's pils is the best beer in the world. That just makes the anticipation even better.

 

Hint #6
Sound of the drums, beating in my heart

 

If you don't know who your sender is, you might want to go back and inspact @FBarber's hints...

I'm already quite convinced he's not my sender.

 

Still not out...still one competitor...

Perhaps I need a clue like, "Canadian children pronounce this username in a way that might describe the feeding mechanism of larvacea"

 

Yeah! I bet there would be some interesting ones on BA

 

Q: Do sours age well? There's a local place that does a line of beers, sold in magnums, that have been aged in barrels full of brett and the like, often with fruit involved. I've had all of them, and they're pretty good, but they're all 1-3yrs old at this point. I'd rather not shell out $15 or so and more for shipping for something that's not worth it.

 

For lambic/gueuze/farmhouse type sours, my opinion is that they can. If they're really fruit forward, the fruit flavor might fade, but other interesting stuff can come up, like funk and earthiness.

For kettle sours...no idea. Probably not?

 

These would not be kettle sours. And my target claims to like sours. Could that be a hint?

 

One more hint tonight. It should eliminate several that are groping for clues.

If you split this BIF into two groups, with members more active on this thread in group 1, and those less active in group 2, my target would be in the latter.

 

I know a brewer that has a lambic that as aged for three years. I tried it and it was fabulous.

 

Good to hear.

 

Haul Hint
Thus far, all but 1 of the beers I have acquired for my target have been purchased at breweries and/or brewery tap rooms.

 

He mentioned during the sign-up thread that he'd shortly be visiting Germany. Perhaps he ran afoul of der Polizei.
