The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

They are definitely bigger in the spring!

 

Ha, the beauty of using a pic from Untappd after it's been enhanced. As for the beer, It was very mild for double IPA though. And I couldn't tell any effects at all from the Brett. I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy another one.

 

Congrats

 

VBS - Started with Upslope Brown Ale from @Kramerbarthomer's CO box, then moved on to this gem courtesy of @BlueDream:

 

So I've got some LIF winners to announce... we had our ultrasound today, and it turns out that the pending arrival is going to be a baby GIRL! Her due date is April 18th.

Based on the guesses made (and a random number generator), this awards @heystevec and @Mikexw some beer! I'll use wants/style preferences to put something nice together for you gentlemen, and congratulations!

 

All this baby love tonight! My VBS contribution...


After pouring into styrofoam, I think I may just drink from the bottle... I'm not quite ballsy enough to ask the nurses for a glass...

 

Better join the VBS.

 

Had my first of the season a few nights ago--Love the burnt caramel. I don't remember it being as good last year.

 

I honestly don't recall last years. I really like this one, but I've tasted some variance from the first shipment we received to this current one and even from draft. All good, but different.

 

My first of the season will be accompanied by one of last year's... I can't wait to get around to doing this.

 

Also, NOT proper glassware...but if my target likes this status he may just find some schwag from this little brewery in Tennessee. They have some messed up laws down there, but this place has a really good barrel program. Too bad they can't sell them and have to give them away. Or is that a good thing for me.......

 

This pic got me thinking about craft beer drinker stereotypes. I didn't see where I could embed poll, so please choose from below:

I have :
a. Full-time
b. Seasonal

And:
a. Neatly trimmed beard because my wife wont sleep with me if it looks like a birds nest.
b. Neckbeard, bro.
c. I am the spawn of ZZ Top.
d. I am a CPA and shave everyday because company policy prohibits facial hair.
e. Other facial hair because Tom Selleck is my idol.
f. I am actually 14 and couldn't grow one if I tried.

**Disclaimer** Do not take offense to the choices. This is meant purely for fun and meant in a joking way. And I'm four beers into a Monday night.....

 

1a
2 varies from a to c depending on my recent level of lazy.

I've seen my chin twice in the last 15 years or so...

I haven't touched an actual razor in like 2 years.

 

Definitely "a"... I got a straight razor shave last November 1st for Movember, which was the first time I was completely clean shaven in about 10 years, and I've had a "full time" beard or goatee since I was about 15, though my teens I occasionally shaved it entirely off because I thought an interview would go better if I did. When I did it, I looked like I was 15, and will never do that again.

I'm gonna go with "c" for type, though it's not nearly what @cultclassic89 has going on, but it's a lot closer to that than "a" and it's definitely not a neckbeard.

 

AA for me wait a minute...not that AA I'm no quitter...

Also the reason it is neatly trimmed is my choice..I can't stand the growth over my lips

 

It may help if I posted this comment in the correct forum. Excuse my lack of paying attention.

 

Mom & baby are home safe.

This is like BCBCS on steroids. Boozy as hell. Delicious.

 

And on another note, anyone heard anything from @Seanhand_atl lately?

He's got a bad trader thread posted about him outside of this BIF...

http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/bad-trader-alert-seanhand_atl.228185/#post-2964943

And has gotten a bunch of negative feedback recently. Hopefully everything is OK with him. Just checking to see if anyone has been in touch with him recently....

 

He was being pretty evasive about who his target was in the 12 Days of Christmas BIF, though I'm pretty sure it's me. I sent him a BM saying so, with some evidence that he rebuffed as not definitive, and a hint that pointed to the answer (very fuzzy though it was); I think I solved the hint and sent him that, saying I still think it's me, and I haven't heard back from that. This was last Tuesday.

 

I am a b, a for the record. Too damn hot here to go full time, esp. being outside a lot for work. I'm a straight up d in the summers too.
