The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I will be looking for it tonight after work. There might a slight chance but, after last week bottle share, I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

Fair enough man, no breath held; just a ton of gratitude (the emotion; sadly, not the beer) if you do have it.

 

@devilfluff tactical strike:

Tired Hands Foliage
Tired Hands Parageusia2
Spellbound IPA

I sent him a four-pack of Heady after he changed his Vermont plans to visit me and wasn't able to land any. I think this box is worth a little bit more and he'll be receiving something in return really soon. Thanks Jesse!

 

Very jealous of both of those Tired Hands! That Foliage was their very first DIPA, brewed again recently.

 

Early start to VBS today, Christened my Randall by infusing mango into Gose. Left it in the fridge a bit too long and it was low on carbonation, but some great mango flavor came though, not overwhelming but definitely there. It also cut down on the lactic sourness in a big way.

 

#vbs 2013 Foothills Sexual Chocolate. The glass isn't proper, but was closer for my last beer (Tributary, a Wicked Weed/New Belgium collab).

 

Sixterhood has arrived! Thank you @valrxman !!

Will post photos today and start thinking who wants to sign up for Cali goods.

 

A bit maltier than last time, but what the hell.

VBS

 

When I saw this on untappd i got excited because i would get a review of it, but it look like its not for a draft system. Disappointed. But I did just have my first Westbrook Gose thanks to @_RL_ and that is a TX summer beer if there was one. That one looks even better.

 

And now for the NSFW pics......




All new beers for me!,
Due South Cat 5 IPA......description is big on hops, bring it on, love hoppy beers and heard great things.
CCB Jai Alai aged on White Oak....I tried to trade for this a few months ago, can't believe I have 1 in my hands!
CCB Smoked English Imp Stout.....interesting, only have had Beachwood smoked stout. Looking forward to this. CCB is one of my favorites and glad to visit their this past February.
Funky Buddha Triple Tripel....great to expand into Tripels and BA at that.
Funky Buddha Blueberry Cobbler.....been wanting more fruit beers after having New Glarus
Terrapin Imperial Pumpkin Pie Porter.....did anybody say "dessert", yum!

Thank you @valrxman for expanding my palette into new favors.

 

Short sign up! I have fresh IPAs from today's visit to a local brewery and want to ship asap.

NBO - Sixterhood trip #8

If you would like to be in consideration to be the recipient of a 6-shipper box filled with great stuff, please BM me your shipping address and your best guess as to how many years I have been a pharmacist. If you would prefer to skip this trip and sign up for a future trip, don't send me your address and wait for the next person to post their NBO to sign up.

Signup period ends at noon Sunday November 23, 2014. At that time I will randomly select the recipient and start posting hints as to who it is. Box will be shipped as soon as I get it ready!

Trip #1 - Maryland --> Texas (complete)
Trip #2 - Texas --> Illinois (complete)
Trip #3 - Illinois --> Colorado (complete)
Trip #4 - Colorado --> Texas (complete)
Trip #5 - Texas --> Ohio (complete)
Trip #6 - Ohio --> Florida (complete)
Trip #7 - Florida --> California (complete)
Trip #8 - California --> ??.?

See official rules below....


----------------------------------------------
How Sixterhood works:

1) The current holder of the Sixterhood box will make a post in the Locals BIF thread saying that the signup period for the next Trip is open and will be open for 2 or 3 days. Anyone that would like to be a potential target for the box would send their address information in a BM to the current holder of the box. To be eligible the person must have:
a) participated in Locals BIF rounds 1, 2 (summer 6'er), OR 3 (current round)
b) have not already received the Sixterhood box.

2) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly pick the next lucky recipient of the Sixterhood box. They will not announce this person nor the number of people that signed up, but instead will start posting hints as to where the box is going (BIF style hints). If no one signs up to be the next recipient then, as the original founder, heystevec will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).

3) The holder of the Sixterhood box will fill the box with high quality local bottles or wants and ship it to the target. Make it a kickass box, but with this group of people I know we won't have to worry about that. Also, add the targets name to the tracking board in the box and add any 'decorations' that you wish to help commemorate the box's visit to your state.

4) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.

5) Start over at #1

You do not have to enter every signup period. You can pick and choose when you want to be in consideration to be the next recipient. This would be nice if the current holder of the box is from your own state or an adjoining state or if you are going to be out of town for a while or whatever. Jump in and out as you please.

 

Sorry, this is the "Randall Jr", the "Randall" is the $300 draft version. I wish I had a draft system. And $300 to spend on that. And a keg of Westbrook Gose.

 

One of my favorite BA BW's... Cheers!

 

I'm guessing, but I'd think Dry Dock would be availble in your area, their Apricot Blonde is pretty awesome. Maybe not quite to the level of New Glarus, but nothing I've experienced is.

Definitely in, BM incoming.

edit: are you also a pharmacist, or is that a copy/paste oversight?

 

And VBS - Finally having one myself! It's pretty nice, good porter base with some subtle vanilla in there (very authentic, not at all artificial tasting vanilla), must have used a lot of lactose because it's pretty viscous, love the mouthfeel but it hangs around just a little more than I'd like.

 

Signed up!

 

Dang it, I'm not a pharmacist. An oversight, sorry

 

Dry Dock does not make it out of Colorado.... but they do make some great beers...

 

My dad was a pharmacist before retiring. That's a damned tough job (I worked as a cash register person/cleaner/whatever for him in his store that he had for 8-10 years before going back to the chains). @Lehighace06, you a druggist?

 

No, just a drinkist. The person who sent the Sixterhood to @wheelzntoys is though, @valrxman.
