The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Hope the back feels better soon, some beer will help that!
Also good luck with the new job, some beer may not help that

 

I would be fine with it going out Monday to avoid sitting in the hot Texas heat over the weekend as well. Fedex doesnt deliver to me on sat like it sounds like they do to other places. I mean that is if I am even your target . I mean if they say they can get it to me by fri then by all means ship away.

To my taget I am going to wait until Monday and if they beer im waiting on doesnt restock then im going to ship tuesday most likely. Box is at 260oz as it stands now.....well the two boxes

I think you are right sir I was trying to read them through the pic.

 

According to Fedex, two packages were left at somebody's front door at 11:47AM.

 

And with a thud, my downstairs neighbors ceiling just dropped a few feet.

 

Just the first level of the first box and already stoked.

 

slow and sensual with the beer **** pics too I see...

 

The next two levels. I had Red Wheelbarrow from another BIF and absolutely loved it. Some good looking locals in the Sloop brewing and what looks to be an amazing beer out of Captain LawrenceImperial IPA

I didn't realize until now how IPA-heavy this ended up; I'm not sure if there is a reason but most of my "extended locals" higher ranked beers seem to be IPA's, and that was one of the types you expressed interest in. If you are interested in any other offerings from any of these breweries (I tried to stick to stuff you couldn't get in Minnesota) let me know. Southern Tier in particular has a huge variety.

And since this was my first time shipping I'd appreciate any comments on whether I overpacked or underpacked and got lucky.

 

DFH really doesn't have distro in MN? That is crazy.

 

Extended locals green flash, Firestone walker and bear republic push that as far as you can...great beers though so rules were made to be broken I guess

 

lol -- I agree. The DFH, Firestone, Green Flash, Bear Republic, Maine Red Wheelbarrow, and Westbrook were wants. I was treated that as a distinct category from locals. Everything that's not a want is from NY state except for Troeg's, which apparently has a very small distribution window.

Yes, I actually cross referenced his wants vs. what I thought I could find, and looked for stuff he couldn't get himself. I think the only one I sent him with Maine distro was Green Flash and that was because I somehow forgot to check that one. I was surprised about it too; DFH goes to most states but must not like the Central time zone.

 

They did at one point, though something happened with the distributor and they pulled out. Available in Wisconsin, a short drive away for those of us in the Twin Cities.

 

True, but might as well just drive to Delaware at that point.

 

You don't want to do that because you might pass right by it without realizing it (the entire state, not the Brewery).
