    My target lives in a state whose size, by area, does not place it in the top 10 of state sizes.

    Anyone on the east coast excited to try some Ohio stuff? Well, hopefully someone else in our distro has you, because mine is going west.

    Hint #1 - My target lives in a state I've been to more than once but in a city I've never been to or even through.
    Hint #2 - I'm shipping in a westerly direction.
    Hint #3 - My target's first and last name begins with letters in the first half of the alphabet.
    Hint #4 - My target lives east of the Rocky Mountains.
    Hint #4.5 - My target has posted on this thread at least once.
    Hint #5 - The three beers I have locked in to send so far (I'll probably end up sending 6-8) are rated 95, 95, and 97 on BA and are all brewed within 80 miles of my home. Two are actually brewed within 18 miles of my house.
    Hint #5.5 - I've settled on a 4th beer to send. It's rated 93 on BA and I've yet to have it so I'm buying two. The brewery where this beer is made is less than 75 miles from my house. My target has had multiple beers from this brewery based on his profile, this is the only brewery that I plan on sending that my target has had a beer from as far as I can tell.
    Hint #6 - My target will be getting a nice piece of glassware in his shipment, and he should be ok with that.
    Hint #7 - My target lives very close to a cross country roadway that I grew up close to.

    Hint #8 - My target has fewer ratings/reviews than I do on BA.

    #3 My beeree has had some Ohio IPAs (in fact it was from a 2 word brewery), but not one of the better one they are going to get.


    * If you use your "want" list (I use mine to remind me of things I want to try) you might want to make sure it is up to date. I just about selected one for my target, but cross referenced his list and he has already had it. Actually, I found 2. I would have felt like a dick... unless it is there on purpose because you want more?

    Party on Wayne!

    Everyone should have their target's info at this point. If you have not received yours, NOW it is an oversight and please let me know ASAP.

    Party on Garth!

    My target's local pro football team has a QB on the roster that was on my college football team while I was at school.

    Hint #(?): My target is likely one of the very few BAs who wears the same T-shirt size I do - or can.

    Local as in in-state, or regional? Or is that asking for too much info on a hint? :wink:

    Best hint yet. My target's state is mentioned, occasionally, in nostalgic reference during the holiday just passed.

    Hint #4- a few of the beers I will be sending are being hand-delivered to me from PA, some time prior to my shipping deadline. My target seems to be one who will really appreciate these beers.

    Of the hints given out so far, I had one person who I thought might be mine - but was denied (or "misdirected") with the latest hint. I have excluded 4 others at this point. There are only a few that have posted that could be mine, given the vague hints (I could still be my own, given that criteria).

    Hint #3.5: my favorite sports team may not be a pro team
    Hint #4: (confirming-ly useful) as expected, my unrepresented "state" is not bordering the state to which I am sending
    Hint #5: (warning, math involved!!) anyone who has more than 500 points more than my beers + "karma" points as of this post can count themselves out (my math says that's 4 of you).

    Info #2: I have not completed my beer searching

    The town in which my target resides was once the home of the longest roller coaster in the US.
