NBS BIF #1 hints

OK, OK....Bergen County, N. J. tomorrow USPS tracking #9505 5111 2831 5008 3379 42. Cheers Michael!

 

Rated more or reviewed more? Sorry if this has been asked already, but I haven't been focusing too much on figuring out who is my sender until now.

 

Rated-flat numerical comparison from the profile pop up. I thought about checking reviews, but I was narrowing my list decently at that point.

 

This is going to sound super random, but these are the kinds of facts that swim around and stay in the back of my brain (incorrectly in this instance), but I'd always had Mr. O'neal remembered as being 7'3", not 7'1"! Maybe Mayhew should have played basketball...

 

I already ruled myself out with some of your earlier hints, but now I'm curious about the movie. When I'm not scouring BA for clues and getting my box ready (in light of @beertunes and @TongoRad 's earlier comments, that could be taken the wrong way!) I'm going to have to start looking through IMDB.

 

These clues are getting so esoteric and random...

Cheers! And I'm really looking forward to it- thanks!

 

How about @Roxie_B @sharpski @DIM

 

So bad news: One of the beers I was really excited to include turns out to not be brewed year-round, and as such is not available. The good news is that there are still a billion excellent IPAs to choose from here in the PNW. Mildly related to this, I will be stocking my box with Washington beers only. Oregon (and California, and to a lesser extent Idaho and Alaska) make some amazing beers as well, but for this particular box I am putting on for my state and my state alone. In fact it will be almost exclusively SEATTLE (area anyway) beers (there may be a couple from the east side for which I had to break this theme...).

I've already picked up several of the members of the box, and am finishing narrowing down the rest of the contents, including what breweriana to include. Hopefully my target (who probably knows who they are, but I'm holding out from blatantly stating it!) likes amazing hot sauce as well (and I didn't forget about the four legged friends... [I guess that could be another clue])!

 

And in the vein of my above post:
HaulHint #1: My father and I have a common theme to our names. If his father shared this theme and shared a name with an amazingly talented local glassblower with whom I grew up, he could be referred to by the same name as this beer.

 

Although I have not figured anything out, and there are the non-hinters that could all be my "supplier", the hints lead me to thinking one of the following BAs who have participated more in this forum that may be sending me beer are that person (and I've made obvious mistakes before in this, some of you make my head hurt with clues ):

• @TongoRad
• @cavedave
  
• @larryi86

There are a couple I doubt are headed my way, both with less hints, and I didn't review why I though they were unlikely, (@BigRedDog and @garymuchow).

To repeat, I am still in the dark, and can only guess at people who have given at least one hint.

Info #[idunno]: I hope to send tomorrow, but might not BM my person immediately for any of you who might still think I am sending to you. If I do, I will likely give a revealing hint to help all of you first.

 

Go SEAHAWKS

 

@cjgiant I will shed a little light with my next hint....at least you can narrow it down to two shippers...
Hint #5: My target's state borders another country.

 

Oh, sure- leave it to me to make or break . I will, however, continue to be obtuse until I have those last beers in my hand and am ready to ship- after this weekend.

 

There are many embassies in DC, sooooo.....

 

Haha, I guess you have a point...

 

What an intimidating place to play! The Seahawks are great, but the Panthers have found "something" and will play hardass defense. I think it will be a better game than many assume.

 

... says the "unworthy" (see hints).

Hope everyone can take some playful fun, I'll have to say I might not root for my own team if a certain governor shows up in the suite again (as expected) .
