NBS BIF #1 hints

I believe you could be my sender or @Roguer as well

 

I finally have all beers in hand and will be shipping in a few days; time for the hint that probably gives it away-
Previously:
Hint #1- my target lives somewhere to the west of me (and that includes about 99.9% of NJ, too, fwiw ).
Hint #2- my target's location is east of the Rocky Mountains.
Hint #3- my target's state or locality is located somewhere south of NYC (approx 41° N latitude).
Hint #4- a few of the beers I will be sending are being hand-delivered to me from PA, some time prior to my shipping deadline. My target seems to be one who will really appreciate these beers.
Hint #5- My target's home state or locality is not in any part located within a 100 mile radius of my home town.
Hint #6- I have never been to my target's state or locality in any fashion, not even to drive through it, but I have been to two adjacent states and they were great places to eat and drink.

New:
Hint #7- A famous city in one of those adjacent states mentioned in Hint #6 is known for go-cups and Big Fun!

 

For those keeping track I can confirm one more pending connection.
larryi86@ is sending to garymuchow@
Can't wait.

Now who garymuchow@ is sending too has not been fully uncovered, yet. But will be the in the next few days.

 

HaulHint #6: One of my beers used to share a name with a famous Mike Myers character. Check today's NBS for a clue. Hint: NOT my NBS post.

 

Just finished packing up a box or two. Just a warning to @WesMantooth, make sure you clear your porch I don't want it to look like @cavedave 's. I'll bm you a track # tomorrow

 

The final hint: bottles are evenly divided between PA and Ohio - the Ohio bottles are divided between 2 fresh and 2 from my cellar - you've already had the Ohio beer. They'll be shipped tomorrow and I'll post tracking numbers when I have them.

 

I've been away for a while but I have a new hint. I am sending my box to a state east of the Mississippi to a state that is home to a heavy hitting craft brewer run by a "craft beer celeb"

 

HaulHint #7: I will include one can of my favourite year-round go-to everyday beer. It is not my highest rated beer; not even my highest rated from the brewery, nor within the style. [ir]Regardless it is my favourite and I don't care what you say. It is actually the lowest rated (per BA) that I will be including in this box.
It was canned four days ago.

 

there's a fairly contrived outside chance it could be me if you are using "heavy hitting" as a play on words and "craft beer celeb" as a celeb in craft beer, but not necessarily widely known as a celebrity IN craft beer scene. Let me explain my interpretation -

We have a brewery in Ashland, VA named Center of the Universe which is operated by Chris Ray. Chris is a former major league ballplayer that spent time with the O's and Mariners (maybe Giants?). So....within craft beer, he's probably the heaviest "hitter" since most craft beer folk aren't known for their baseball hitting skills. He'd also be something of a celebrity, but not celebrity bourne of craft in general.

See? I can make any conversation all about me!

 

Oh, oh! Give me a hint too!

 

I think I got it now, no real way to confirm but if it is from what I've seen I should get delivery on Wednesday....

 

Ya, didn't factor that in- all the pitching that is. What's worse is that he spent most of his time in the AL where he never had to bat. He was a reliever as well. Pretty much never had to step to the plate in the bigs.... To further MY case though, I'll choose to believe he took a LOT of BP! I'd still bet he can hit better than say, Jim Koch....

 

I'm really hoping you mean the wooden kind, though that sounds grim in and of itself.

 

Maybe it's an Ozzy Osbourne inspired brew

 

Perhaps it'll be available at the Gwarbar!

 

That's too funny - I still have an unopened sixer of the Gwar-BQ beer. I'm afraid as shit to drink it!

 

Well, UPS lied to me, the package was actually picked up the day I dropped it off and attempted delivery today. It appears my target wasn't home (no shock), but it appears he has beer ready for pickup or re-delivery (I did PM him info, also, so I guess that's a final hint for anyone unsure from my previous hints).

 

Okay, my box is ready to ship. My target is going to receive 202+ oz's (by my calculations) of New England goodness, plus some brewery schwagg.

However, I'm a little nervous about the temps around me right now. The next few days are going to be extreamly cold, below freezing until Thursday. Is this something I should worry about? I really don't want to wait untill Thursday to send when people are already receiving boxes.

Ya'll suggest I just send it, or is my concern warranted?

Oh, and as for a third hint (and this is a dead giveaway): There's a good chance that my target drives a vehicle that was designed (and possibly built) in his home state.
