SAVAGES v3

Hint 1: shipping east (or really, really far west)

Hint 2: I've sent or received beer from at least one target

Hint 3: There was a baseball player who played his whole major league baseball career, over 15 years, with one team...

Hint 5:

Hint 6: he's also been a rookie of the year and a world series champion

Hint 7: he was in the American League

Hint 8: now that some of you know who this Sweet player is, I’m not shipping to the state that was home to his baseball team

Hint 9: Now that a team is established, I’m thinking of two P’s that played for that team. They have some things in common. One thing that they don’t have in common is that one was a RHP and one was a LHP

insert Shane Victorino GIF in a Phillies jersey here =(

Hint 21:

Target A: Hint 20 and 21 go together

Hint 22: I couldn't find a Matt Bonner Red Mamba Spurs GIF, so this will have to suffice


Hint 23:

Target B: Hint 22 and 23

Non sports hint 1: For @Oconomowocian and other guys who are not baseball guys, you get math hints instead...the product of the digits in my zip code is greater than or equal to the product of the digits in either of my targets' zip code

non sports hint 2: the product of the digits in my zip code is greater than or equal to the sum of the digit products of both my targets

non sports hint 3: even if I were to swim across the Pacific Ocean and land on a state, I’d still need to cross at least 4 more states to reach my targets

non sports hint 4:

non sports hint 5: the product of my phone digits is greater than or equal to the product of the phone digits of either of my targets

non sports hint 6: the distance between my two targets' cities is a little less than half the distance from myself to @Bum4ever 's city

non sports hint 7: if a=1, b=2, c=3...for the entire alphabet, both of my targets' state name sum is greater than my state name sum (hawaii)

non sports hint 8: if i had to admit, target Alpha's state would be a perfect square and target Beta's state would not

 

Matt Bonner is another NH related reference (along with Adam Sandler previously) but I don't see how anything else with the sports hints fit for me.

 

I’ve been double-donged before, but never triple-donged! Yesterday was a banner day for beer up in here.

First was this ninja strike from @EMH73 .

Suarez: Hecto and Fine Line Kolsch
Sand City: Watch Out dipa, Oops I Hopped My Pants ipa, Vaya Con Dios sour (only had a few Sand City beers before, so these are all exciting)
Garvies Point: Sour Batch Motueka
EQ: Energy Wave, MC2

This box was especially generous since Evan previously tried to ninja me, but the box was nabbed by some Philly street youts. So this was a replacement ninja. You rule Evan!

 

Then, @thisischuck01 hit me with his trademark “wall o’ cans”.

Hudson Valley: Alpenglow and Supernal sour dipas (first cans from HVB!)
Other Half: pretty much every beer they’ve released the past 3 weeks
Wild East: Hypersaturate (new brewery tick)

Thanks as always Charles!

 

And finally, @Dragginballs76 revealed himself as one of my official senders by dropping a surprise load on my doorstep.

Barrel Culture
- 2020 Member Bottle: Silver (I see Mike hasn’t ticked this sour himself yet. Looks amazing! )

Westbrook
- Peanut Butter shake
- Lassi How You Like Blueberries & Blackberries

Hi-Wire
- 10W-40 Horchata stout

Charles Town Fermentory
- Ralf: Zwickelbeer
- Sungazer ipa
- Tropical Creamsicle Sungazer: ipa
- Churned: Imperial Milk Stout
- Maser: ipa
- Wegbier: lager
- Yacht Party: lager
- Pallet Rider: dipa
- Berry Berry Blueberry Pie: sour

Plus grits, Mike’s nuts, a blind beer, and a sweeeet looking CTF stemless glass.

So excited to dive into all these CTF brews, since I’ve only had maybe 1 or 2 before, and I believe they were collabs. Thanks so much Mike!

 

Who remembers these?

 

Now that my target’s boxes are all gathered and 2 of the 3 boxes have been sent out, I wanted to do a LIF. A while back @FlintB sent me a box of Bourbon County variants that I wasn’t able to get in our area. Prop ’19 was my favorite (my wife’s as well) and I’ve been keeping my eye out for it to have again. Well, I was able to swing a trade for 2 of them. As much as I’d like to drink them both (and my wife will kill me for this), I’m sending 1 of them out to 1 of you. Being as I can’t send a single bottle, I’m adding some friends:


-Humble Sea/Southern Grist Virtual Colab w/chocolate, cacao nibs, toasted walnuts & vanilla beans
-Spectrum of Desire-Modern Times/Cellarmaker Colab
-Bottle Logic-PCC
-Russian River Intinction
-Modern Times-Monster’s Park w/vanilla beans in bourbon barrels
-Modern Times-Dragon Mask-Chocolate churro edition
-Revolution-Supermassive Cafe Deth

I only have 2 rules for my LIF

#1-you agree to do your own LIF shortly after receiving this box. Let’s keep this train rolling and boxes coming.

#2-if you’ve had Prop ’19 or have it in your cellar, you agree to forward it on in your LIF box to someone who hasn’t tried it. If you win and will be forwarding it on just let me know & I’ll add something else.

To win this LIF, you’ll just need to come up with a collective # for these random questions. The closest total # wins.

#1-What are the collective ages of my 3 children?
#2-How old was I when I met my wife?
#3-I went fishing last week for a few hours, how many trout did I catch?
#4-How many MLB World Series games have I been to?
#5-I played college baseball for 1 year. How many innings did I play? Hint-It wasn’t many; I was a pitcher and it was my freshman year at a 4 year school.
#6-How many bottles are currently in my beer fridge?


I doubt there will be any ties, but if so:


Tie Breaker Questions:
#1-How many miles is my work from @NorthStateCustomCraft work ?

#2- @NorthStateCustomCraft and I went to the same high school. How many miles is that school from my current house?

**I'll keep this open till Sat 4pm PT

Good luck.

 

holy math, @Snrubnivek ...

Okay -- collective total = 169, tiebreakers 12, 15

Awesome offer for sure!

 

Gonna say an even 100, tiebreaker 11,3.

Forward to @Jimmy_Kneecaps .

 

so @Snrubnivek its the total of the answers added together?

 

@Snrubnivek
126, 7, 27 also have Prop in my basement so would forward

 

Yes, just like @thatoneguymike & @CanConPhilly above. One collective # and then 2 tiebreaker #'s.

 

Super generous offer

Thanks for the chance.
If I'm not eligible since I didn't participate in the most recent round, just ignore my guess.

 

84, 12, 21

Thanks for the chance!

 

I'll guess 87, 12, 19. Thanks for the chance @Snrubnivek

Very cool lif! I'll guess 81. Tiebreakers of 3 and 8. Thanks for the chance!

 

I will guess 89, 4 and 8 thanks for the chance.

 

Haul hint for both targets:


Hopefully your boxes won’t explode.
