NBS BIF #16 Hints and Hauls: Sweet Sixteen - Teenage Lust Tastes Like Creamed Corn and Rolling Rock

Another day, another hint:

Hint #11 - In 2018 I went on a vacation to a great state, that has a highly decorated WW II era battleship named after it, and said ship sits in a harbor of said state. I took the tour of the ship in 2011, and loved it. Sadly, anyone who lives in this state is excluded. I did enjoy the beers from that state when I visited in 2018, and have had 10 beers from said state.

Previous hints

Hint #1 - My target lives at a lower elevation than I do.
Hint #2 - My target does not live in the 3 states I've not had beer from (New Mexico, Rhode Island, West Virginia).
Hint #3 - My target does not live in the same time zone as I do.
Hint #4 - I've only been to your state once, on a layover, back in 2005.
Hint #5 - Jerry Reed had a hit song in 1977. Said song really goes well with what we do here. The title of that song tells you which ways I'm shipping.
Hint #6 - I could reach your state by water.
Hint #7 - Apparently my target hasn't had many beers from my state, or surrounding states (as far as I can tell). This will change.
Hint #8 - Your state was part of the original United States.
Hint #9 - I have had beers from your state, and your state is somewhere in my top 20.
Hint #10 - Trillium Brewing is apparently over in Wisconsin now, if you live in the state where it's made, I'm sorry, you're out of the running.

 

Sorry, Hint #5 ended your running.Actually, #4 did, because I've been to California 3 times, most recently 2009, when I played in the Bay 101 WPT 2k tournament.

 

Right now there's really only 4 people in the running for me, based on the hints. I just hope they like what will be coming their way.

 

Hint 1: Michael Brown finished his basketball career as assistant coach for the Chicago Bulls in 2008.

Hint 2: At 6 feet, 10 inches tall, Michael Brown earned the nickname, “The New Washington Monument” while playing for George Washington University in the early 1980’s.

Hint 3: Scoring nearly 2300 points in 5 seasons with the Utah Jazz, Mike brown earned the nickname “The Brown Bear” from esteemed Jazz announcer, Rodney Clark “Hot Rod” Hundley.

Hint 4: If I add the year Michael Brown started his basketball career to the year he finished his basketball playing career and then add the total number of points he scored over that time period, that total number is still over 800 less than the number representing my targets zip code.

Hint 5: At 257 pounds, 6’ 10”, it is more than likely that Michael Brown wore at least 2 shirt sizes larger than my target.

Hint 6: If you don’t have a “B” somewhere in your legal name; as in Michael Brown, you’re not my target.

 

Aaaaaaaaand I'm out.

 

Real Name.

Edit: hint has been edited for clarification.

 

Out also.

 

Hint #1: the max output of the largest river in my targets state, is roughly equivalent to the largest river in my county.
#2: the longest river in my targets state is less 311 miles long.
#3: water from my targets state will touch at least 3 states, but no more than 11 states, before a river dumps it into an ocean.
#4: my targets state has at least 11 examples of multiple rivers having the same name.
#5: a river near (let's say 75 miles) me, the Skagit River, is a few miles longer, and has a slightly higher (let's say within 1711 cubic feet per second) output than a river within the same parameters of my target, the xxxxxx River.
#6 is an elimination hint: if the 115 mile long river with an output of 2261 cu ft sec, that starts in the Laughlin Range, is wholly within your state, you are not my target.
#7: if your state has an Indian River, you are still alive.
#8; my state and my targets state share a minimum of 3 rivers with the same name. There are several others with names that are very similar (ie; Big or Little xxx river, different species of the the same creature, town names that may only be a letter or two different) as well.

 

I am late to the party. What am I dropping hints about?

 

And thusly I’m out …

 

Hints so your target can tell you're their sender

 

Well....
