The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Out of 5 people, 3 liked the VSB better... 2 liked the Framboise Noir... that being said, Framboise Noir is an unbelievable beer that has very little hype and it's probably much much easier to get than VSB...

 

This ^ is what I heard too and it's official I am now iso....

 

also iso. of both, for that matter... and the rest of that share... apple brandy cake? FW 14? R&D? where do i sign up?

 

Just finished packing my locals and others. Will be shipping to the Lone Star state tomorrow.

 

Looking forward to receiving it!

 

this may not be the last one, but there can't be too many left, anyone have a count?

 

I have been working diligently on clearing out my beer fridge to make room for some locals.

 

So far I think 17 have been confirmed as delivered, and I think 16 of those posted pictures. My delivery is scheduled for Tuesday, and @justanewby is shipping tomorrow. I don't know the status on the seven others, but don't update my stuff as frequently over the weekend so might have missed something.

 

My box is going out tomorrow. 260 ish oz. or so of Colorado locals. With a couple extras from out of state. Should be on my targets porch by the end if the week!

 

My box is packed. Should ship tomorrow. I did make a change to the contents, though. I removed 2 12 oz cans and replaced them with a 750ml.

My target shipped his target a can that was in the original list, so I assumed he has access to that beer.

 

Box one of two scheduled to be picked up tomorrow. Box two should go out next week.

 

with all due respect to the awesome box i got (i'm finishing the third trillium growler now, they were all fantastic!!!)... i'm jealous of your target

 

I must have miscalculated with my earlier totals I listed because this package only weighs 20#. Not sure what happened???
Waiting for UPS to pick it up. Tracking # 1Z159A2R0354270672. The tracking # probably wont show until late tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

My calculations were off. There are now 18 total beverages not 16 as I originally stated. The first box was 20 # but there is a second box that weights 18 #. I hope you enjoy!!!

 

I would never have been critical in the first place, but that's more like it

 

Girlfriend forgot to put the box outside for pick up before she left so it will go out tomorrow instead and a second box next week.

 

Wow! That's awesome, I can't wait, hope my apartment office has a sturdy porch...

 

Good thing my porch is made on concret and this table is a super tough Ikea table.

Extra box as stated by sender on top of main box.


I open the first box and this is what I find

JK Encendia - Want
JK Nocturn Chrysalis B2 - Want and a unique bottle shape that ive never seen before
Elevation Senorita Horchata Ipmerial Porter - LOVE Horchata so this was a want when I heard of it a while ago
SA Endeavour IPA - Only had a few SA beers but loved them all so far
Austin Beerworks Heavy MachineryDouble IPA
Karbach Hop Delusion

Then the main box

The main box was in three layers if memory serves right and said such thing as "What!" "STFU" "Oh my" and "UHHH

A picture of the smalls


SA DR #14 x2 - Want I made a trade with one of the brewers from SA a while back and was able to get DR 6-13 so to add 14 is awesome.
Real Ale Sisyphus - First time I saw a label upside down
Prairie Bomb - Want but never thought I would be able to land one fore whatever reason
Real Ale Blakkr - Had the FFF version and loved it so excited to try the Real Ale version
Santa Fe Brewing Java Stout - Love me some coffee stouts
Lakewood Brewing The Temptress
Prairie Wine Barrel Noir - Again Want but never thought I would be able to land one for whatever reason
Buffalo Bayou Brewing More Cowbell - everyone always needs more cowbell
Prairie Bible Belt - Want but never thought I would be able to land one fore whatever reason and am having this as my first beer back from my drinking break that ends Wednesday

On to the large format bottles....Yea there was still more......crazy


SA Boiler Room
JK Funk Metal - Probably the first JK beer I put on my Wants list
JK Hibernal Dichotomous - Want
Fort Bend Brewing Grand Reserve - Only 7 beers listed on here which I totally dig the newer breweries
Buffalo Bayou Brewing - Lenin's Revenge
Clown Shoes Undead Party Crasher - I actually get Clown Shoes near me and saw Undead on the shelf one time and said I didnt need it at the time. Went back later to pick it up and havent seen it on the shelf since so pretty cool it ended up in the box

@EA728 you are insane and am your new number one fan. Thank you so much and am glad I am sending two boxes now because it will give me time to bulk up that second box going out to my target. Which total beer haul for target is clocking in at 282 oz and some glassware as it stands right now

 

Glad I was able to hit so many wants. I enjoyed making your box and I was also excited that you enjoy the same styles I do, which made it easy. The Prairie beers are all delicious, the Bible Belt and Bomb! I especially love. The Austin Beerworks Half IPA is fantastic, easily one of the best in Texas.

 

30 lb box dropped for delivery. ETA to the west coast: Friday!
