The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I surely hope that my sender will send me spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam!

 

This is funny because I always tell FedEx I'm shipping home made hot sauce when they ask what's in my boxes. And they always ask for samples and I tell them I'm restricted to only do business outside of the state, sorry lol

 

It's about time nice bottles though.

 

are we talking about jelly again?

 

Oops, totally forgot about a local treat. Good thing I shipped early, will have another box with treat and a few apology beers going out before the deadline.

 

Just finished packing, just hope it all makes it in one piece. At least the peanut brittle is fine if it gets crushed, but the glass and growler not so much….

 

Jelly? First time I am hearing about this jelly from Kentucky!

 

Jelly from KY???

 

I absolutely love pretty much everything Lost Abbey puts in a 375ml bottle. Really hate them for the pricing though.

 

I usually do too, with maybe 1 exception. First time finding deliverance for me, could not pass it up. They had 1 bottle of veritas left, they put that back as well, and a bottle of rufus corvus by avery. Gonna be an expensive trip

 

Oh yeah, Agave Maria was pretty skippable. Definitely hop on that Veritas if the price isn't too crazy, those are brewery only AFAIK.

 

Haha they have alot of "Brewery only", and out of distro stuff, I found heady topper here a few months ago, bcbs, 120ipa. Waiting for the day they get caught , and shut down.

They use to openly display the empty bottles, and cans of stuff not allowed in our distro, or brewery only. They recently stopped, I think someone asked to many questions about them.

Edit: Only downside is, the bottles are marked up usually a couple dollars from what they usually will sell at.

 

Sixterhood box is packed and ready for trip #4...will go out tomorrow.

Six beers, all either 12 oz. or 375 ml bottles (hopefully the quality will make up for the lack of bombers...)

Will hit 3 wants, 2 beers are in the BA top 75 currently, average rating is 93.8, lowest rated beer is an 88 (but it is a want...)

Hint 1: Shipping East

 

I've been following the hints, down to 11.....

 

Like, Peanut Chews? Are they not nationally available??

spam spam spam spam and eggs, bacon spam spam spam eggs and spam......

 

@devilfluff does your target have WAWAs, always send a "fresh" Wawa pretzel. Ok I know I am not helping.

 

Neither BCBS nor 120 Minute are brewery only... out of distro perhaps (I don't know GA distro too well) but definitely not brewery-only. heady on the other hand... kinda hard to legitimately find outside VT Enjoy your back-room access!

And by the way, I found Agave Maria to be quite nice, I might've been shmammered at the time, but I rather enjoyed it.



Lastly, I'm looking forward to picking out a local treat (or two)... I'll have to find something good that will last a long journey. Oh yeah, hint #whocaresmy: My box will travel >700 miles.

 

yeah first off, their pretzels aren't great anyway, secondly it'd be a rock after 3 days on a fedex truck. now, wawa ice tea or lemonade (or lemonade tea), if you could secure the container (transfer to a growler maybe?) would be worthwhile... just seems a shame to add to the weight/size of the box by the same amount as a growler of beer just for some tea, even as good as it is. this is why i'm leaning toward candy or hot sauce, something small.

 

Thats why I put "fresh" in quotes for the sense of sarcasm but sarcasm is lost on the interwebs anyway.

Its hard thinking of Jersey Treats without going to the Shore, doubt salt water taffies are enjoy by most, but now some jersey shore fudge. There is some local sausages here that are amazing, but again shipping them across the country and keeping them cold isn't what I wanted to do. Perfect answer, well if they don't have an allergy, peanut brittle, cause if it gets smashed, who knows the difference.

 

Hint-----Should be sending out my box this week, potentially tomorrow or Thursday. Over 240oz. Hope my target enjoys what I'm sending as I wasn't able to match many wants (pretty partial to my only Dark Lord....)
