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

I ruled you out with your hint #2, as minor league hockey and baseball teams are each long-established institutions in my city, (the Chiefs and Indians, reapectively), but I wonder if you meant to only refer to teams in major leagues like NHL (Kraken) and MLB (Mariners) teams, which are to be found on the opposite ends of the state from me. If you were unaware of the minor league teams in my city when you posted that hint, I could still be in.

 

That person has not had either Chuckanut or Pfriem Pils.

 

The rules are broken! I am your target!!!!!!!

 

He mentioned that he would be incommunicado for a bit. I'm already a bit jealous of some of the stuff his target might receive.

 

So, I'm entering some reviews I took notes on over this past weekend. My target might be receiving some of them, and not receiving others.

Hope this helps him sleep.

 

True that.
And that's not really a knock on Reuben's. Chuckanut and pFriem are exemplary when it comes to pilseners.

 

Oh, really? I'm nowhere near done shopping.........

 

Bah! My kids turned my chicken scratched notes into a work of art yesterday and I can’t tell which crossed out names are the ones I crossed out. I’ve got lots of hearts drawn on the page though. So there is that.

I’m not sure I have the stamina to go back through all the hints. My morning client cancelled though, so I suppose I have no excuse.

 

Every time I see ‘Canadian’ pop up, I’m forced to think about what was written for inordinately long periods of time….

 

Pfriem Pils is also tasty

 

Maybe I did this on purpose maybe I had no idea since your city was not my concern

 

Target: your package (or packages?) is/are 10 miles away from your town...will they show up today? USPS said not till Friday...

 

Hint #1: I’ve never sent beer to this person before, I’ll add to it…but I have driven through their state.
Hint #2: My target's state is larger by area than mine, but smaller in population.
Hint #3: I did my second beer trade on a phish message board for beer from my target's state. I may, or may not have, reviewed it on BA. I also traded with this person on BA, later on.
Hint #4: My target has not reviewed one of my top ten highest rated beers, perhaps after our yearly vacation I will be able to correct that.
Hint #5: My favorite band (I think its obvious) usually makes yearly stops in my targets home state each summer, and has for quite some time.
Hint #6: The northern pine snake cannot be found in my targets state.
Hint #7: My students are taking there test right now so...There is an element on the periodic table that sounds like it could be named after my target's state.
Hint #8: This hint will help some of the previous hints be more useful without giving it away completely...we go on our yearly vacation in the same state that my favorite band formed in.

Let's help mr/mrs target out...

Hint #9: a bunch of GIFs in this thread take place in your state...

 

Target, I just dropped off a box that (I think) exceeds the requirements for this BIF. I have not yet shipped all the beer that I bought you. I am not yet done shopping for you.

If you don't figure out who you are today, especially considering the private hint I sent you...well, that'll be fun, too, won't it?

Now that I'm done with your username, today's clue will start on your real name...

Having never had anything by Rueben’s, Pfriem or Chuckanut, I can’t weigh in. I can say that my target will be getting what I think is the second best pils made in Ontario. Unfortunately the best, a French oak barrel fermented edition of the second best, is not currently available.

Edit: Oh, and I’m pretty sure my target has access to at least one of the breweries mentioned above.

 

Man, I almost missed this clue, since I saw the post (1) when it had no words from you, only quotes from others, (2) when you added some words, and then by pure luck only (3) after you had edited it again to add a little hint there
