The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Did someone say they wanted... beer pr0n?

 

I dunno... My junk is kinda worn out from earlier... those blue balls courtesy of @Lehighace06 didn't help either...

...but whatcha got??

 

So not only is @heystevec sending out beer for the hell of it, he's doing so with a vengeance! When I saw the box on the doorstep when I got home I was wondering what he had done, as the box was far too big to only hold a single bottle of Clara... so evidently heystevec had some other beer fall in the box as well! (Apologies that it looks like I took this picture with a toaster. My phone is being persnickety, which means I'm having to use a 2nd generation iPad).


Hill Farmstead Clara - What got the whole thing started. So happy to be trying this! Can't wait to crack this open!
Ballast Point Victory at Sea - Love this beer. Haven't had a chance to try it in a couple years, can't wait to try it again!
Prairie Bomb! - I need more of this in my life. They just entered Georgia, so I'm only 5-6 hours away from picking this up now... hmmm... maybe.
Duclaw Sweet Baby Jesus! - Excited to see what people keep talking about in this BIF
Dark Horse Plead the Fifth - Another one that I tried years ago and lost my shit over. So glad to try it again!

And of course the Utz Crab Chips I was opening the box and my wife says "Is this guy from Pennsylvania?" I tried to explain that Crab Chips made it Maryland, but I don't think I convinced her. She grew up in Pennsylvania so Utz will always be PA to her

Thanks again @heystevec ! Absolutely can't wait to crack open the Clara.

 

Done.

 

I almost made it through the night without a beer, then I checked the thread and saw another virtual share Thumbs up to Ballast Point for going the 6 pack route on this one.

 

I can't wait for these sixers to get here!

 

I still haven't had Plead the Fifth, BA or non BA. I really need to ISO this beer at some point.

 

glad you liked it. more to come in box 2!

 

Your wife is right, Utz chips ARE made in PA. Crab chips are a MD thing because of the "crab" part, not because of where they're made.

 

I always miss out on the virtual shares, but here's my post late night hockey beer for tonight....

 

Yeah Avery in particular seems to get marked up big time out here -- I still haven't tried my 12 oz Uncle Jacob's stout that I paid $19 for last year (I've paid that for limited local releases knowing that I was paying for actual scarcity, but it's hard to justify when it's just a markup).

 

Should 667 technically be "across the street from the beast"?? And I was confused, since New England Brewing actually makes a 668 Neighbor of the Beast...

 

After December 13th, I can make this happen for you...

*Edit will

 

Maybe I'll finally see this one! I'm in their distro, but have only seen it once, on tap, and I couldn't make it to that bar during the 6 hours before it kicked.

I consider the people who live across the street from me to be my "neighbors" as well....

 

There an aftershock en-route in Houston.

 

That would be amazing!

About to pick up the first box here soon when the office opens at 9. I'm getting antsy!

 

I hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

Damn, this thing is heavy! Like the unboxing begin!

 

That's what I said after I packed it.

 

Alright, boys! @devilfluff sent me a sexy ass box, I am so stoked to try everything. Much is very new to me. So, without further adieu, here's the jailbait first:



Dogfish Head - World Wide Stout - Yes! We don't get this one in Texas, so glad to finally get to try it!
Cape May - Sawyer's Swap - I've never had any Cape May, glad to get to try some. And only 27 ratings!
Weyerbacher - Insanity - Awesome! I've had a taste of this at a share before, glad to get my own bottle! I do enjoy my English Barleywines.
Thirsty Dog - Siberian Night x2 - Sweet, I've never had Siberian Night, and he even sent me two!
Allagash - Saison - My first Allagash! Awesome!
Draai Laag - Ragnarok - I've never heard of this beer, let alone this brewery, but it sounds delicious with all of those berries!

More to come...
