    Or somebody in VT or NY. I imagine Maine produces too, but I haven't paid that close of attention to where everybody's from so far. The plot thickens...

    @TheDoctor
    It’s implied in this thread, I think.

    I immediately think VT for maple syrup, which makes NH the obvious neighbor (who clearly also produces maple syrup).

    But since Canada is an even more appropriate spot, I think this rules out no one. He could be referring to Michigan as a neighbor of Canada, and I’m sure MI produces some maple syrup.

    My thoughts exactly.

    So far the only people I have truly suspected are the ones who took the time to type out province, but it stands to logic that intentionally including or excluding it would be a really good way to throw people (or me at least) off the clue.

    Sadly, I'm out. That's an all-timer of a hint though!

    Hint #5.
    I have never posted pictures for my target in a BIF.

    Haul Hint:
    One of my favorite breweries recently offered samples of their first barrel aged brew. I loved it. They are hoping to have bottles ready for sale in 2 weeks or so. No idea how bottle sale will go because its their first ever and they only have 1k bottles. If I can gets, my target gets.

    Previous Hints

    Hint #3.

    My friend almost forgot to get some Wisconsin beers for me, as he was about to start home, he remembered.

    Some of the beers will likely go into the hopefully porch busting box.


    Next hint

    Hint #13 - There is more than 1 person from your state participating in this BIF.

    Previous Hints:

    Hint #1 - I've been to this BAs State only twice, and only because of an airport layover.
    BTW: I totally hate said airport, and try to avoid it.

    Hint #2 I've not had any beers from your state.

    Hint #3 You're not in a state that's getting hit by the crazy hurricane aunt Flo.

    Hint #4 The great comic Gilbert Gottfried did a skit on your state in one of his comedy albums.

    Hint #5 - I have reviewed more beers on here than you have.

    Hint #6 - You have reviewed at least one beer from my state of insanity... I mean Minnesota

    Hint # 7 - I am shipping a good distance East and just a bit south from my central MN home.

    Hint # 8 - You have more likes on this site, and have been here a lot longer than I have.

    Hint #9 - I mentioned that you might get some Wisconsin beer. Unless I screwed up, and missed it, your beer list doesn't include any Wisconsin Beer.

    Hint 10 - My target is older than I am.

    Hint #11 - Your state was one of the first 9 needed to ratify the US Constitution for it to go into effect. The convention in your state approved the Constitution unanimously.

    Hint #12 - Article 1 Section 2 of the Constitution, your State was given a number of Representatives in the House until a census could be conducted. Your state was supposed to "chuse" either 5, 4, or 3. One of those numbers is your State's number, the other two are for states other than your own.

    So far still strongly in the running. Not ready to call you out, though, because there's another member in this that is also strongly likely.

    I was surprised at the number of states that do produce maple syrup and with the volume that comes from Quebec. But I have to ask, is all syrup maple?

    Hint #7: I've closed more trades in recent history than my target.
    Hint #8: My target's place of residence has toll roads.

    Fuck toll roads, by the way - whenever I travel and rent a car, I get charged a bunch extra for missed toll roads. Fucking things.
