The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Nice haul! I've got some Trillium headed this way in a separate trade.. can't wait to try it..

 

42 pounds of PA brew has landed in Wisconsin... hope @hansenm72 has brought it in his house... he probably has, and is just up to his elbows in bubble wrap... (I'd be curious to see the a photo sequence of the unpacking process)

 

Ive been thinking of making the same move the past few years but maybe to to Austin area. this years winter lasted FOREVER!!!!

 

I'm hoping 42 lbs of MD brew is landing in CO tomorrow...

 

Do you mean like you are actually dropping them off or like dropping them off at Fedex? Forgive me its late and im slow, need to get to bed but to excited about some Texas brews. Im waiting up incase fedex delivers the boxes at 11:30pm

 

Haha I meant fedex, now I just need a clever way to give you a tracking number...

 

**** incoming but just let me say... between my 2.5 yr old and I this box was one of the most fun and nearly equally frustrating things I have ever had to open... I didn't take pics throughout because it would have doubled the hour it already took me to open all of these beers. @Lehighace06 individually wrapped each bottle as if he were shipping the President. Well done my friend, I have no doubt you sleep very comfortable with beer in transit as there is no way any of this was breaking. With that being said: FT: about 20 pounds of bubble wrap.

@Lehighace06 you are the man, buddy... I accept the fact that you put me through an hour of hell because it came with probably a month of trying a ton of great new brews I've never had and in a ton of cases never even heard of... I feel like an honorary Pennsylvanian.

 

DON'T DO IT KID!!!

 

Backlash is doing some good things, I have been drinking my Trillium stuff and it really is fantastic, but I would drink them soon. Cape cod is a nice small brewery about 20 miles from my house good consistent easy drinking beer. I haven't had the Naragansett stout yet. Hope you enjoy the beer.
Cheers

 

@MCMASTERSANCHEZ screw it, here are you numbers sir. 770198734174 and 770198702889 I was hoping that I would make it to the FedEx before the final pickup, but it appears that they will pick it up today, which means you probably won't get it Friday as I had hoped.

 

Ha ha its cool you didnt have some clever way to give me the tracking numbers. Sometimes I dont like to think you know and Im sure ill be super happy about the box no metter what and in the end thats all that matters. Hey when it gets here it gets here its all good. Oh and 49 LBS!!!! WTF AWESOME!!! Because of that I think I am going to toss some swag in my box so whoever is my target thank @EA728 for the swag and maybe a few more oz of beer.

 

@hansenm72 that first picture you posted of your kid with the box is awesome

@raulazzer I don't know how I automagically got an e-mail about my package being in transit, but thanks!

 

Enjoy my good sir, it's awesome that your daughter could help unpack, my 10month old helped wrap (by which I mean got tangled in the bubbble wrap as I was getting started, the 3 year old knows to leave it alone by now). The BBVD, UJ and Sculpin are the 'non-local wants' although BBVD is in state, but it's a few hundred miles away.

I've had every beer in that box and put my personal stamp of approval on each (except Double Simcoe, that's the unfiltered version, and BBVD, technically I've only had a BA variant, which was amazing) Tavern Spruce is very unique, not the greatest but you'll never taste something else like it.

Besides the growler, the Manu Negra is probably my favorite of the box, and I had no idea it was limited to only 900 bottles, that's pretty cool. BB Insidious and Round Guys Berliner are also at the top. The Devious Pumpkin is from 2012, that should be pretty tasty; it also is my 'gateway beer' (back in '04 when the brewery was still just a small brewpub).

The homebrews are 'I8A' IPA (yellow) and '1r1sh Stout' Dry Stout (green) from 'Abacus Brewing Company' (would love feedback on them)

 

Cool, I'll look forward to the Backlash, and I'm really looking forward to the IST and the Spencer! I'll definitely drink the Trillium soon, I try to keep growlers around as little as possible (it's just a 'shame' that I already had 2 Hill Farmstead growlers this week and have a Tired Hands Only Void growler in the fridge too... growlers will take up a large portion of my weekend.)

 

@Mikexw Weird not sure how that happened, i don't think i have your email address. But yup 2 boxes are on the way.

Some Stats for you:

1 box is 9lbs and the other is 24lbs.
I knocked off 8 wants
300oz Total
BA Avg score 92.8
Reader Avg Score: 4.15
Only 3 different Styles.
Hope you enjoy

 

To my target since the box in enroute to San Diego and due to hit tomorrow, I thought I would play the rating game. From what I can remember(I may have missed some) your boxes average BA rating is 91.25. Hope you are thirsty this weekend!

 

Currently 63 and cloudy where beer is about to be delivered. Sounds like a good day for a beer. Though when isn't it.

 

Someone needs to check their front door in NJ.

 

So Fedex says delivery date of this sat but ive never had Fedex deliver on a sat. IS this an option you can select when you print your label or something and no one have ever selected that option before?
