The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

LIF! LIF! LIF!

Who's in? Open to anyone who has participated in any round of this BIF(including the current).

I'm a fan of both footballs. Who are my favorite teams? NFL & EPL. If more than 1 person gets both right, I will resort to a random number generator. If no one does, we work with all the entrants who get 1 right, and the same randomizer.

Please post your choices here in the thread by Sunday night at 8 pm ET.

Content hints: a west coast IPA in the top 100 that I picked up over the weekend, a recently released black IPA pounder can, an east coast DIPA pounder can, glassware, and probably some other goodies.

 

Giants and Gunners

 

Giants and Red Devils glory glory man united!

 

Giants and Chelsea
Thanks for the chance!

 

Steelers and Arsenal

 

Liverpool and Philly, maybe not in that order

 

Eagles and Chelsea. Thanks!

 

Alright, so, I have been craving Sunny Side Up ever since I finished my growler of it. @PA-Michigander was kind enough to offer to trade me some bottles of it. We agreed to the SSU and, possibly, La Petite Mort. The rest is extras.

Pizza Boy Kiwi Sour - I am a big sour head, so very, very happy about this one
Sunny Side Up x 3 - my coffee stout of the year. Amazing!
Central Waters La Petite Mort - want
Shorts Evil Urges - new and looking perfectly in my alley.

Big thanks to @PA-Michigander ! Great package!

 

Eagles and Man U Thanks for the chance!

 

Arsenal and NY Jets...

Thanks!

 

VBS

Delicious! Thanks again @wheelzntoys

VBS (@Lehighace06 I figured I ought to make sure it was still drinking well)

 

How's it doing? Still ok?

 

So glad you like it. It was my pleasure. Hope you verticle taste goes well, let us know how it turns out. Couldn't see sending just one bottle. It was nothing compared to what Nick, @PA-Michigander, did to me. Many of you know him to be a very generous BA, here is some more proof. He is awesome...

#VBS

One of the top 3 IPAs out there....



and another tick off the top 250 list (and an awesome fruited sour)

 

Caractère Rouge is what any sours should aspire to be when they grow up.

 

Jets and the Mighty Reds of Manchester! Cheers!

 

Yeah, Sunny Side Up is awesome, agree that it was my coffee stout of the year too.

 

Nope, cause the Sixterhood landed on MY porch!


@mbmiche dropped this little porch rocket outside my house today.

Wild Onion Pub BBA Drago - Never heard of the beer. Never heard of the brewery. Can't wait!
Smore Money Smore Problems - Just got a bottle from @Ncpogs. Now I can take a bottle to my bottle share group without worrying that I'll like it too much and then not be able to find it again
Spiteful Brewing Absinthe BA Klutzy Buffoon - Not gonna lie, this sounds interesting as hell. No idea if I'll like it or not, but I've never had a beer like this so its gonna be memorable!
Revolution Blue Gene - Not a huge fan of blueberries in beer, but this gets high ratings so I'm willing to be won over!
Pipeworks Sure Bet - Good lord, this sounds delicious. This is in the fridge at the moment and will be drunk tomorrow night. I'm sure I'll be nice and give some friends a small taste, but this one is gonna be mostly mine
Revolution Deth's Tar - The other beer that I got recently from ncpogs. I was really agonizing over whether to take this to a bottle share that I have coming up because I'm fairly certain I'm going to absolutely love this beer and usually at a bottle share you don't get to savor a beer (and don't get enough to let it really sit around and develop). Now I don't need to agonize thankfully!


Beer in boxes are so much sexier, don't you think?

Absolutely awesome box @mbmiche!

 

OMG. Looks like his life is a living hell now though.

 

NBO - Sixterhood trip #10

I've mentioned in the thread a couple times that I travel a decent amount. 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 miles I've flown on an airplane this year (i.e. since January 1st). 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.

I'm going to keep this one open for a little while as I won't be able to ship until next weekend. Signup period ends at midnight Thursday December 18, 2014. Please include in your BM if there are any dates that you aren't around home because of the holidays and I'll ship accordingly.

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 --> Illinois (complete)
Trip #9 - Illinois--> North Carolina (complete)
Trip #10 - North Carolina --> ????

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), 3, or 4 (winter 6'er, 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.
