    Happy New year all - enjoy a safe and fun filled evening. I also promise not to drink any of the beer I am sending to an individual that lives east of Alberta!

    Hint 4: If you look at what I drank on New Years Eve, the only beer my target could buy in their state is from the brewery the furthest away from me.

    I thought my last hint was a little too non-subtle, but it appears some people (maybe even my target) may not have made the connection. So... Hint 6.5 is going to be far more blatant since I should be ready to roll by Monday.

    I'm about to ship out, I think, although that would be early; I've got some hoppy goodness that I don't want to go bad. So seeing as no one seems to have pegged me as their potential sender, I think it's time to ratchet up the clues to a higher degree of specificity.

    Hint #2.9: My favorite NFL team was the first to win 5 Super Bowls, and until this decade, had never lost in a Super Bowl.
    -If you've followed my previous NFL hints, you should at least know what state I'm shipping to now, by process of elimination.

    Hint #2.95: Figuring out my target's state is not enough to figure out my target.

    This is probably my best hint yet. At least it'll rule out some of you. I've spent exactly one night in your state, in a tent on the Appalachian Trail.

    Hint #14 - My target lives within the UPS 2 day shipment window from my office so it won't take long for his beer to get there once I'm ready to ship.

    Ah Shit!!! And I remember lokking at that pic and thinking, it must be a famous scene from a famous movie as a hint.
    :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
    How could I not see the similarity. Awesome @WesMantooth !!!
    I was looking at the OHIO breweries hint, with IPA's, and 2 word name of a brewery hint, as well as the Dark Horse hint and thinking maybe, but the fact that I didn't catch the pic hint is pure Captain Obvious Failure.:grimacing::grinning:

    A little off topic, but hey, @WesMantooth, are you anywhere near Willoughby Brewing? Heard their latest release Nut Smasher and their Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter are damn good. Is this something you can get ahold of?

    I'm in the same boat, there is a brewery that I'm looking to get a growler from, but right now they are only filling growlers of one of their beers.

    I am about 2 hours from there. It's kind of an out of the way 2 hours too, but I stopped to check it out just over a week ago when I was in Cleveland. Very nice place. I missed the Nut Smasher by a couple of days. This one is pretty solid.

    Hint #7 (I think 7???) One of the beers I intend on sending is from a brewery named for a person that attended private schools in both my state and my target's state.
