SAVAGES v3

Great job @TheGent

 

Opening salvo from @Bum4ever! I love Alvaredo Street and Moonraker and it's been ages since I had either of them. Thanks mate, can't wait to dig in!

 

Another day, another hint for both of my targets.

When asked for shirt size, I say "XL". Neither one of you want shirts in that size.

 

Target Two: Your swag box has passed through five different states and seven different cities. It is now in your state, but 216 miles South of you.

 

Haul hint: I hope you like sours! Because you’re getting a lot of them. Pretty sure both of my targets do. One for sure, the other an educated guess.

 

You’re all crazy.

 

Some of us (I can’t be the only one) are not baseball guys and are just like “sigh” another baseball hint from Sean...

 

Any word on this box @GC2020 ?

 

If there is someone out there who suspects they are my target and they do not like farmhouse ales please like this post. Otherwise ignore this post.

 

I don’t think I’m your target and I do like
farmhouse ales. I liked your post anyway. So Savage. I know.

 

I suspected there would be doucebaggery.

 

There he is...was getting worried

 

Not my favorite style

 

hint: Both of my targets live in states that border bodies of water.

 

First boxes are on the way for both targets. Hint for both:

 

Wow, leave town for 4-5 days and am now way behind on this thread. Sorry guys. Slammed with work but will catch up and get some more hints out by Fri. Cheers

 

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 4: he was an all star, gold glove winner, silver slugger

and since it’s Aloha Friday, let’s turn two

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

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

 

Like it wasn't going to happen regardless of the answer....



On Tuesday, I went ahead and did the blind pours after work, as seen in the Slack. Blind A was obviously an IPA. I for the life of me couldn't come up with coconut, but guessed some sort of candied fruit. The only thing that came to mind was peaches... wrong. Blind B poured a big, heavy stout, with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and maple on the finish.



Blind A was Double Hand Candy from Slice, a coconut milkshake IPA.



Blind B was Vanilla Shake from Mikkeller. No maple in this one, but it sure was damn tasty!

Even though I didn't want to, since both beers were highly enjoyable separate, both were indeed blended, and promptly chugged in a matter of seconds. I don't know who would have thought that an IPA and stout blended together would be a great mix, but @NorthStateCustomCraft nailed this pairing!
