NBS BIF #16 Hints and Hauls: Sweet Sixteen - Teenage Lust Tastes Like Creamed Corn and Rolling Rock

Another day, another hint:

Hint #17 - Your state actually fought a war with a neighboring state over where the border lies. No one died, but one was wounded.

Previous hints:

Hint #1 - My target lives at a lower elevation than I do.
Hint #2 - My target does not live in the 3 states I've not had beer from (New Mexico, Rhode Island, West Virginia).
Hint #3 - My target does not live in the same time zone as I do.
Hint #4 - I've only been to your state once, on a layover, back in 2005.
Hint #5 - Jerry Reed had a hit song in 1977. Said song really goes well with what we do here. The title of that song tells you which ways I'm shipping.
Hint #6 - I could reach your state by water.
Hint #7 - Apparently my target hasn't had many beers from my state, or surrounding states (as far as I can tell). This will change.
Hint #8 - Your state was part of the original United States.
Hint #9 - I have had beers from your state, and your state is somewhere in my top 20.
Hint #10 - Trillium Brewing is apparently over in Wisconsin now, if you live in the state where it's made, I'm sorry, you're out of the running.
Hint #11 - In 2018 I went on a vacation to a great state, that has a highly decorated WW II era battleship named after it, and said ship sits in a harbor of said state. I took the tour of the ship in 2011, and loved it. Sadly, anyone who lives in this state is excluded. I did enjoy the beers from that state when I visited in 2018, and have had 10 beers from said state.
Hint #12 - I have had the misfortune to have a layover at Newark Airport twice. Sadly if you live in that state, you're out.
Hint #13 - Your state has more Congressional Districts than mine does.
Hint #14 - Your State House, and State Senate has fewer members than my state does. Your Senate has about half mine does, and your House has about 20 fewer than mine does.
Hint #15 - The college I went to - St. Cloud State University - is in the NCHC league for Division 1 Hockey. If your state has a team in the NCHC, you're still in.
Hint #16 - You've not posted as much in this thread as I have. Hopefully you've seen these clues, and know you're not excluded.

 

Touch down…

 

Haven't had time thus far, but I'll check this out sometime this weekend, after I've launched an overdue LIF box at @Whyteboar and do a bit of shopping for my target.

 

Well…I’ve been hit by our friend from the north. He sent me some glass and metal kitchen canisters according to customs.

Just when I thought I got out…



Spoils and post incoming later…

 

Thanks to how late the hop harvest was this year, it's possible my target could see several FH beers. Unless they don't want them. If they do want them, they should "Like" this post.

 

I'm wondering if my target might like hard alcohol? The local micro distiller Dry Fly does a number of liquors in travel bottle form, so it's possible I could include one. However, just in case I can't find one, I've got a backup from a local artisanal sandwich shop.

 

Is that an actual thing?

 

Indeed, it is.

I, I, I just can't. Is the world upside down? Wut the hell? I need a drink. A non-Arby's flavored drink. I got nothing.

 

The biggest surprise for me on this particular subject is that it wasn’t Taco Bell first.

 

Artisanal? The upper west must have a completely different version of that, um, eatery.

 

I’m glad it made it. There was a weird update this morning.

Note, this is a thank you for that big box you sent me in retaliation for that small box I sent you. Cheers!

 

Haul Hint: your first box will be shipped no later than the first of the week. I have big plans for you, and this is just the beginning. Cheers, target.

 

Then, I guess it's time.
