    Time for a hint, because I'm thinking of taking a road trip on my day off work.

    Hint 14 - Your state quarter was released the year my nephew was born.

    Previous hints:

    Hint 1 - I have not shipped to my target before.
    Hint 2 - Your city/town is at a lower elevation than mine.
    Hint 3 - Your city/town has a smaller population than where I have my packages delivered, but bigger that where I actually live (Waite Park, MN)
    Hint 4 - Your city/town was founded before mine.
    Hint 5 - My box is leaving my time zone (Central)
    Hint 6 - My target hasn't had Surly Pentagram before, or hasn't reviewed it. That will change.
    Hint 7 - I have been a member of BA longer than my target.
    Hint 8 - My target has posted at least one hint (so far) for her/his target.
    Hint 9 - I have more beer reviews than you do.
    hint 10 - I have never been to your state
    Hint 11 - St. Cloud, MN is/was the home to 2 Lt. Governors of Minnesota (9th, and 44th), and was home to the 4th Governor of Minnesota. Your town/city is not home to any Governors or Lt. Governors of your state.
    Hint 12 - Bad news for some, I'm shipping South and East.
    Hint 13 - Your state was one of the original 13

    Ok, I do not want to step on @Mbgreg 's toes, but as the winner of @Ozzylizard 's recent LIF I'm up to start a LIF of my own and I have the perfect LIF so I wanted to get it out there now.

    On Friday morning, Mrs. Gritty is scheduled for a c-section for the birth of our daughter. The rules of the LIF are super simple: guess the baby's height/length (in inches) and weight - the person who is closest on both will get a box of beers from me. I will accept guesses until Friday evening and then will announce the winner of the LIF Friday evening after I put the older kids to bed. Winner is encouraged, but not required to start their own LIF afterwards.

    Oh, and if you want in, please quote this post with your entry so I can keep track and not miss any.

    I'd do some unspeakable things to hear that song live. I miss them so much, just listened to a live show the other day on my headphones while at work.

    A new brewery popped up in Arkansas somewhat recently in the very quirky town of Eureka Springs. Seriously the whole town is kinda built into the sides of mountains and filled with hippies and country folk. Sometimes lovingly referred to as Eu-freak-a, but I digress...

    This brewery has been getting rave reviews and their beers finally made it down here to the booming metropolis of Little Rock. Already cruising along with barrel aged barleywines, oak aged brett saisons, but also classic styles executed with grace - or so I've heard from someone who I very much trust when it comes to beer.

    Might have to run a new LIF to get some out to spread the love. Yeah, LIF...yeah definitely

    All right. I've decided against doing a road trip. It snowed yesterday, and the roads aren't the best yet. There's another reason, and it's in my next hint:

    Hint 15 - I was planning on heading over to Historic Casanova Liquors in Hudson, to get you some New Glarus beers, assuming you've never been exposed to them. After stalking your profile, I discovered you've been exposed.

    Previous hints:

    Hint 1 - I have not shipped to my target before.
    Hint 2 - Your city/town is at a lower elevation than mine.
    Hint 3 - Your city/town has a smaller population than where I have my packages delivered, but bigger that where I actually live (Waite Park, MN)
    Hint 4 - Your city/town was founded before mine.
    Hint 5 - My box is leaving my time zone (Central)
    Hint 6 - My target hasn't had Surly Pentagram before, or hasn't reviewed it. That will change.
    Hint 7 - I have been a member of BA longer than my target.
    Hint 8 - My target has posted at least one hint (so far) for her/his target.
    Hint 9 - I have more beer reviews than you do.
    hint 10 - I have never been to your state
    Hint 11 - St. Cloud, MN is/was the home to 2 Lt. Governors of Minnesota (9th, and 44th), and was home to the 4th Governor of Minnesota. Your town/city is not home to any Governors or Lt. Governors of your state.
    Hint 12 - Bad news for some, I'm shipping South and East.
    Hint 13 - Your state was one of the original 13

    @woemad

    Steven Wilson is the only artist that I want to take my partner to see post-pandemic. As in: there are a ton of bands I can't wait to see live again, but that's the one where I'm grabbing her by the arm and saying, "We're going."

    Very fortunate to have seen him in Ponte Vedra about a year before the pandemic.
