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

Out definitively.

 

Oh, well, at least I know for sure now.

 

Hint #1
I'm shipping beer.

Hint #2
I'm shipping it west and maybe north.

Hint #3
Beacon, capitol, crown, olympic, Off the Wall Music,

Hint #3
Not to toot my own horn but…One of my
crowning achievements is participating in every single one of these NBS BIFs.

It may be a bit off the wall, but these shenanigans also brought me my first (not quite) capitol (sic) offense in Canada. A feather in my crown, a beacon of beer geektitude, a bragging right among braggoters is mine.

Hint #4
My target is west?!? Dang, typo or just me thinking about travel. Hmmmm. I used to travel so much more than now, and sometimes beer was definitely a key part of the planning.

What's Up With Nonstop Dan?

Hint #5
One of my favorite Purdue Bigs almost, almost played for a powerhouse in your state.


Bonus: And it was definitely not that vile school that he's pummeling in most of the first minute of this highlight reel.

 

Okay, now that I know my sender (thanks to him hitting me over the head with the obvious) I still really enjoy the hints flying around and one day hope to be as obscure as some of you. But for now, it’s not the way my brain works.
So, next clue for my target.
I mentioned earlier that I was sending south, which is true. The other compass direction is east.
One of those directions is much more involved than the other.

 

Hint #1
My target will receive beer.
Hint #2
Shipping east.
Hint #3
At some point in this BIF, I will unashamedly lie through my teeth.
Hint # 4
While I have been in my target's state, I have not drank beer while there. I have, however, had beer from their state.
Hint #5
While I have never slept overnight in my target's state, my grandfather did so for quite a lot of his youth.
Unnumbered hint
See post #408
Hint #6
I have only been on one battleship (at least in this country. I've been on a sailing battleship and an ironclad battleship, but both were in the UK). It was not in a harbor in the state it was named for. I've actually been on it several times, both when it was moored in reserve not far from a former sub sandwich shop that @Roguer used to work at, and more recently at its current location. Incidentally, although my state of current and long-time residence does not have a battleship named after it that has been preserved, the state I was born in once had a battleship as a memorial, until one day in the early 1940s when it did not. That battleship had something in common with a ship linked to my target.
Hint #7
I do not reside in the state I was born in. While they have not authoritatively said so, I think my target has that in common with me.
Hint #8
My state of residence is not one of the original 13 colonies. Neither is the state of residence of my target.
Hint #9
My target has reviewed or rated more beers than me.
Hint #10
When my grandfather, growing up in my target's state of residence, would periodically decide to run away from what was basically an evil stepmother situation, he'd hop a train. He first did this at age 9. Where was the train going? Same place where you find Revolution Brewing.
Hint #11
No president has hailed from my state. My target can say the same...at least since the end of the 19th century.

 

Hint #12
According to a highly unscientific survey done by asking Google, the most well-known person from my target state shares the same name as a badge on untapped.

 

Your 7th hint eliminates me. Didn't notice that until now.

 

In defense of Spokanistan, @woemad has posted some pics of some awesome looking food on his travels/travails around Spotucky.

 

Hint#7 My Target lives closer to the Atlantic Ocean than I do.

 

Hint number 7 is a guess on my part. You may still fit.

 

Are you calling me out?

 

That seemed awfully close to my BA name, so I'm going to chance it: are you my sender?

 

Also, when I first posted that hint, I believe you DID post ol' George. So I've sparked a reaction out of you with the same hint twice. That's got to count for something. Just not sure what.
