The Birthday Bourbon has been claimed!

Congratulations to Melanie Hendrickson & Tammy Mohn! Winners of the 2025 Booze Clues: The Return Mini-Hunt

CLUE
Through the darkness of future past,
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
FIRE! — Walk with me.

Search within for timber twins—
A pair of eponymous trees—
But skirt the tossers' flying saucers
To locate our indices...

Find a tack from simulacrum;
Defy your host's doppelgänger—
Seek out a sign of the fiery kind
To be the bourbon claimer...

Heed the wheedle; thread the needle
To end your hero's quest—
And gently tread to stony stead
To crack the Birthday chest!

A MESSAGE FROM BRIGGS

HINT
To solve the Briggs code, 25 is gold!
Do the math to make all unfold.

FINAL CLUE
With hunt still pending, we need an ending
So time to establish the find
Thanks for playing, and for braving
The elements and our mind

Where oak is flush and disc is chucked
Scout perimeter of field
Pass the fallen best friend's last calling
To a stone with gift to yield

In Loving Memory
Leo

Booze Clues: The Return

BOOZE CLUES

THE RETURN

The Twin Peaks medallion has been found!

Congratulations to Tom Lauinger, Kim Browning
Melanie Hendrickson, and Matt Smith! Winners of the 2025 Booze Clues Saint Paul Treasure Hunt

Clue Explanations forthcoming »

INTRODUCTION
With the passing of Mr. Lynch,
We honor a man of mystique.
Booze Clues enters Saint Paul,
With an ode to Twin Peaks.

Take on evil, enjoy a damn fine cup,
Unravel the web we've wove.
Revel in a super-natural world
In search of Glastonbury Grove.

As you head out you should know,
No matter what your plan;
There's something for all to find.
Just be careful if you see this man!

CLUE #1
News made its way 'round
People were stricken with grief.
Things like this didn't happen,
In the town of Twin Peaks.

Death of the Palmer girl meant a lot,
Wrapped in plastic, placed on the shore.
It felt like a bomb had dropped.
The homecoming queen was no more.

A second victim found, battered,
Wandering a nearby track.
But into a coma, Ronette fell,
Before the FBI could interact.

CLUE #2
An abandoned train car in the hills,
Tracked by Hawk near state lines.
The final hours of Laura's life
Recorded amongst native pines.

Found on scene "Fire walk with me"
Written on a scrap with blood.
Within a blast of burnt engine oil,
To BOB she had succumbed.

CLUE #3
She'll give you her two cents
If you can spare a dime.
No woman's scorn like one with a log.
Take a walk if you have time.

Follow a path along the highway,
Where stars swing and trees sway.
Through transition, and resistance, find resilience
Find the log! It has something to say.

CLUE #4
Taking a bullet at the Great Northern,
Falling into an enigmatic dream—
Clinging to life and consciousness,
Overlooking Room 315...

A visit from a Giant that night,
Words streaming cryptic and keen;
Hidden keys in his advice—
Figure out what they mean.

CLUE #5
BOB as his co-pilot, Leland landed in jail—
A grief-stricken father gripped with guilt;
His final fight fought within four cell walls,
As the powerful spirit took flight at full tilt.

Pull the thorn to cleanse the man's soul—
Guide him from evil and into the light;
Hear his confession before passing on
To drive his Caprice off into the night.

CLUE #6
Matriarch of flame and root—
Crown of silence, dark, and soot...
Windom Earle, brilliant and cold—
A humble pawn, but cast in gold...

The rules are set, the hour grows late
Where nature twists a brutal fate—
Our queen laid down for endless night
Beneath a quilt of black and white.

CLUE #7
The decorated veteran went off yonder
To the shock of his wife and his only son;
Major Briggs stepped through the flames
Returning home from a World War won...

From a listening post on the edge of town
Designed for a secret signal's retrieval,
He soared, ascending a throne on high
To combat the powerful forces of evil.

FINALE
Greetings Agent Hunter...
That gum you like is going to come back in style.
In the urban chorus of a fraternal forest,
The Black Lodge awaits your arrival.

So enter the evergreen grove
Containing a pit of souls;
The Red Room's only goal:
As above, So below.

Look to the fire burning
Where BOB oversees the churning
Of poison, twisting and turning—
A ring 'round the object of yearning.
