The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Yeah, see my 2nd edit regarding that. I definitely will; I'll make one that includes him as well so we can iron out who would get what bottles.

This should be extra true, but a box on its way to KY got delayed until tomorrow.

Not sure what "overpriced" would be, but the case I got was $84+tax

This is only 'creepy' if you were just doing that. Having a beer while you're in the shower is nothing but awesome. Especially if you shower right when you get up, nothing beats starting the day off with a brew.

I know, that damn tree just won't quit.... wait, what?!? Damn stalker!

 

If either of these are me I won't be home until around 10:30

 

the places near me tend to be hit or miss with prices -- I've seen some reasonable things, and some absurd things ($30 for sour in the rye? really? $15 for pumking?)

edit I wouldn't have been surprised if I would have ended up paying ~16-20 for a 4 pack of bastard

 

Yeah I would guess it's about $3.79 at the place I can get to Friday (you can buy individual bottles, but that would be translate to about $90 a case). The place I expect to be at tomorrow will probably be significantly higher, I don't expect to buy it there.

 

Buddy bought a case for $75 and split the four packs up six ways @$12.50 per person.

 

Why did you quote me here ha

 

I'm guessing a multi-quote accident lol.... I was wondering the same thing.

I was at a bottle shop yesterday (their tagline uses the phrase "curated collection" for the beer they have available) that had singles of BB for $5 each... that said they also let me buy these things:


Allagash Nancy
Fantome Saison
Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break Natale Pretty Please With A Cherry On Top
Gale's Prize Old Ale 2001 (I have a 1997 to match it with)
Odd Side Troublesome
Lindeman's Faro (never had a Faro)
St Bernardus Wit (building a St Bernardus horizontal, just need Christmas Ale and Watou Tripel)

 

VBS - Not good. It is like they threw everything in a tank and hoped something good would come out of it. Oops! Maybe, it would be better without the overwhelming vanilla. Cleansed my palate with an Alpha King.

@Lehighace06 , not sure why your package is stuck in Nashville. Hopefully, it will arrive tomorrow.

 

Hopefully you only bought the single bottle. Hopefully the next in the planet series is better.

 

I did only buy this one thankfully. Mars was so good though! I guess you need to try new things to see what will work.

This is like NG raspberry tart on steroids. '12 vintage. So freaking good. Go Rockets!

 

Next up: Double DBA! Thanks again @jdhowe, I hope you enjoy the payback as much as I'm enjoying this.

 

I've got to apologize for my delay, crazy busy day and I had to wait until just now to unwrap this box. It sat on my desk all day taunting me but loved the extras!!!

The only two things Mike and I agreed on were the Trillium bottles and I got all this too!


I know what I'll be tailgating with at the ND game this weekend

 

Guys need help - VBS? Feel like I missed something...

 

Virtual Bottle Share

 

Duh, makes perfect sense. Thank you, and thank you again for this sick box. I can't believe these amazing IPAS you threw in. Gonna be a great weekend.

 

I checked your Untappd and it looks like the only thing you've had in the box is Heady. Sorry for the repeat!

 

I guess ill join in. Been trying to cut back a bit, but its my first beer since Sunday! Lol

 

I've only cut back on my purchasing.

Til I walk upstairs and order bottles of Citra Must Be Destroyed...

Drinking a Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle right now, though.
