time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[JordanKnudson]

Alrighty, friends. Just got home from work, don't have much to do tomorrow, so I'm cracking a beer! Beer and brewery please!

BTW, the beer is ever so slightly more red-hued than that picture, although not so much that it should really make a difference. Just wanted to give you all full disclosure.

 

[JordanKnudson]

I'll also give a first hint. The Proclaimers might walk 500 miles (and 500 more) to fall down at your door, but I'd go almost 9 1/2 million miles to fall down drunk from this beer.

 

[jjw5015]

Is it foreign or domestic?

 

[JordanKnudson]

It is domestic

 

[jjw5015]

Deschutes Lightyear

 

[JordanKnudson]

No sir

 

[DarthCitra]

Is it from the West coast?

 

[JordanKnudson]

Yes and no. I won't be more specific than that.

EDIT: Well, *can't* be more specific without giving too much away.

 

[Brauer]

Stone Arrogant Bastard

 

[JordanKnudson]

Good guess (I love Arrogant Bastard and have posted several of its various incarnations in my previous turns), but no.

 

[Brauer]

Stone Arrogant Bastard....sorry double posted

 

[JordanKnudson]

Stone Arrogant Bastard....sorry double posted

No worries about the double post! Again, it's a good guess, but not the one we're looking for.

 

[jjw5015]

Yes and no. I won't be more specific than that.

EDIT: Well, *can't* be more specific without giving too much away.

That makes me think Sierra Nevada. Your 9.5 million mile clue is throwing me off. That's a light year.

No, it's not. It's roughly 0.1 AU (astronomical units, the distance from Earth to sun, around 92 million miles). A light year is tens of thousands of AU.

I'm guessing JK intended for the hint to reflect 1 AU.

Google has betrayed me

SN Bigfoot?

A light year is MUCH larger (5.8x10^12 miles). 93 million is 1 AU (distance from earth to sun). Moon is 230K miles away. Cruithne, the closest asteriod, comes in around 7.8 million miles. Mars is ~225 million miles.

Yeah, not quite finding that 9.5 million sweet spot.

brown sugar

im thinking the hint was ABV

 

[JordanKnudson]

Oh my gosh, guys! I'm sorry, I typed the wrong number! That's what I get for using the touchscreen on my phone...it should have been "nearly 91 1/2 million." Ummm...mulligan? Anyway, you guys are still doing a decent job at deciphering the hint, despite the fact that I gave it to you wrong! None of the specific guesses are right yet, however.

Well that would be the sun...hmmmm

 

[drainbamage]

I'm pretty stumped on this one.

Sun King Wee Mac?

 

[JordanKnudson]

No.

I will post another hint later, but I want to see if anyone can sleuth it out in the meantime now that I've corrected my dumb self.

 

[JordanKnudson]

But what the heck, I'll drop another small hint now. The previous hint has absolutely nothing to do with the *name* of the beer.

 

[DarthCitra]

your hints are sick and twisted.

 

[JordanKnudson]

I'll tell you this: if you can suss out what I am describing with my hint, then figure out what it is called (specifically), you are within a simple Google search of getting the exact beer.

Midnight Sun brewing- Sockeye Red IPA

 

[chocotaco]

I know the answer. Should I say it?

 

[chocotaco]

I love your hints so much. So misleading, yet so leading.
