NBS BIF #15 Hints and Hauls: Was it Over When the Canadians Bombed BIF #14? HELL NO!

Random stats!

I like Fremont Brewing. A lot. My first review of them was in 2010. When they opened, my (now) brother-in-law lived two blocks from their location. I wasn't super impressed with them at first, but I think they have figured it out since then.

Amongst all of us in the BIF, there are 277 reviews of Fremont beers. Here's the review count over time, and the average score over time.


Of the 19 of us, @Mbgreg is the only one who hasn't reviewed a Fremont beer (but again, I don't know if that's because he just doesn't review beers very much). Unsurprisingly, us Washington folks are the most frequent reviewers of Fremont. I've reviewed 100 of their beers, @BBThunderbolt 47, and @woemad 34. Then it's @beergoot (17), @Beersnake1 (14), and @WunderLlama (12).

Here's what we think of Fremont beers (blue), and how many of them we've reviewed (red):

 

So...ahhh...good fellow...in a totally casual, conversational kind of way...where are you originally from?

 

Hint #1: I am shipping South and East.
#2: The nearest MLB team to my target is not in the same division as the Seattle Mariners.
3: I have physically been in my targets state of residence. (I have been to 29-1/2 states. the 1/2 depends on whether one counts just being in the airport changing planes as being in the state. I generally don't.)
4: My targets state touches a large body of water.
5: The body of water my targets state touches is neither the Gulf of Mexico nor the Rio Grande.
6: My target lives North of I-20 and East of I-35.
7: Sehome Hill in my city has an elevation of 620 feet. This is not as high as the highest point in my targets state, but it is higher than the lowest point in my targets state.
8: The Nooksack River is approximately 75 miles long. My targets state has rivers that are both longer and shorter than this.
9: A river in my targets state is the same approximate length as the Nooksack, but its average discharge, 487 cu/ft/sec, is dwarfed by the output of the Nooksack, 3814 cu/ft/sec.
10: The river mentioned in hint 9 is named for a color.
11: Back in post #504, I posted a map of rivers showing their outflow. May targets state touches at least two of the rivers in that map.

 

Maine. It’s got to be Maine. Is it Maine?

 

I hope this box is going to me!

 

Another hint: My target state touches a large body of water. First box drops on Wednesday, it is a small one the other two drop on Thursday.

 

That Brew 5000 you and @FBarber collaborated on so generously to send my way is going down this weekend (I'm sharing it with our son).

Something tells me my Fremont Average is gonna creep up a smidge.

 

WOW. Congrats. I look forward to eventually being a grandfather, but with junior high and high school age daughters right now...I'm in NO hurry.

 

Waiting for a review on said restaurant.

 

Our ressie isn't until 9pm.......

 

I am right there with you...this is a chatty bunch!

Haul Hint #2
I am not shipping as far south as Hank Hill, but I am shipping further east.

 

LIF Update and demise of my Boilermakers...

Purdue’s final numbers:

223 points in 3 games which gives Frank @FBarber the win. Only 16 points shy of the total. But a few of you were pretty close. Truth be told, I was cheering for Maynard’s @WunderLlama guess.

I'll let you know when I ship, Frank. Congrats!

 

How cool to be able to have this visual reference to tap into that context.

 

Hmmmmmm

 

Haul Hint...



Pro tip, put this on the second you hit the on ramp onto a highway...
