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

Since I'm really totally retired, I'll give some hints instead.

I mentioned before that 1 astronomical unit is 92 point something million miles. So why is he talking about 91.5 million? That's juuuust short of an astronomical unit and the difference is important.

The other hint is a bigger giveaway. How can a brewery be both West coast, and not West coast?

 

[JordanKnudson]

DarthCitra - not that one

Chocotaco, I want to hear what you've got!

 

[chocotaco]

JK, I edited my teasy post to give my own hints. Confirm / deny.

 

[edroberts]

Only think I've got is Cigar City... Hotter than Helles Lager?

 

[chocotaco]

Another hint: The distance hint is related to something that happened recently.

 

[JordanKnudson]

edroberts - no to both brewery and beer.

chocotaco - I'm good with those hints!

 

[JordanKnudson]

Another hint: The distance hint is related to something that happened recently.

Also, this is very accurate.

 

[DarthCitra]

Phobos
Ecliptic Brewing

 

[JordanKnudson]

DarthCitra, you're thinking along the right lines, but the specifics aren't quite right.

 

[chocotaco]

 

[JordanKnudson]

Also, I'm going to summarize the hints thus far.

1. Brewery is on the West Coast, but ALSO not on the West Coast.

2. Something vague about the number 91.4 million (I'm just giving you the actual number now).

3. The number, we have established, is a bit less than 1 astronomical unit. If you know what an astronomical unit is, then you can make an informed supposition about what it means to be at slightly less than 1 AU.

4. The supposition made in number three has a specific name. Using the adjective form of that name, along with the google, you will find what you seek.

 

[JordanKnudson]

And to confirm, I just went through all the google steps necessary to complete the puzzle with the above information. No other special information needed, but a keen eye is helpful.

 

[DarthCitra]

I wanted to say the Perihelion but that is much to light compared to your pic.

 

[JordanKnudson]

You are agonizingly close. Carefully review number 4 in the list above, then come back when you've gone to google.

 

[chocotaco]

I wanted to say the Perihelion but that is much to light compared to your pic.

Side step. You almost got there from the right interpretation of the hint. The rest is just (literally) semantics.

 

[DarthCitra]

LOL well damn ...Aphelion- Lucette Brewing Company?

 

[chocotaco]

If a brewery is ON the West coast, but also NOT ON the West coast, what are the possibilities for that brewery?

1. West coast... of Florida (already debunked)
2. West coast... of another country.
3. West coast... in Alaska (not really considered a West coast state)
4. West coast... and then another location that's not in the west coast.

Occam's razor applies here. Which one of these is the most simple explanation for the hint?

 

[KIRBREW]

Is it, Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale - Anderson Valley Brewing Company

 

[JordanKnudson]

Still no. Perihelion is a noun. Review #4 in my summary above (post 11951). You are SO close.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Is it, Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale - Anderson Valley Brewing Company

Nope

 

[chocotaco]

I wanted to say the Perihelion but that is much to light compared to your pic.

Also, another hint was that the hint you're interpreting had "nothing to do with the NAME of the beer"

So what else could it have to do with?

 

[DarthCitra]

Elliptical
Peterino's

 

[chocotaco]

OK, I am giving way to many hints and that's JordanKnudson's job. It's just so excruciating! Even more so than when it's my own beer pic.

 

[JordanKnudson]

Dammit DarthCitra, you had better get this or I'm going to come find you!

If "perihelion" is a noun, and I told you that you could use the adjective form of that word (once you arrived at it) to get this on google...I would suggest doing that, and maybe adding the word "beer" to your google search, just for good measure.

 

[JordanKnudson]

ADJECTIVE form

 

[JordanKnudson]

This is exciting

 

[chocotaco]

Yeah, I'm placing bets on DarthCitra. He's dancing around it in a delightful fashion! You can almost see his perihelial moment before he starts getting further and further away. But I'm sure he'll orbit back around after reaching his aphelion. And when he reaches the perihelion again, he'll release the answer. A perihelial release, if you will.

 

[DarthCitra]

... (ellipses)
Tired Hands Brewing Company

 

[JordanKnudson]

A perihelial release indeed! And DarthCitra, you're still dancing...

 

[DarthCitra]

hahaha!!!! if im wrong im leaving for the day, work is too stressful then your hints make my head hurt! i need a beer dammit!
