The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

KRE compliments of @Tee2Grn in a glass compliments of @mklisz ....Rousey approves this #vbs thanks again Ian and Mike!

 

I spoke too soon with the local"ish" brews earlier... went to the shop near me that has had plenty of bottles of them in the past, and no dice today. However, I still have this box figured out.

If my target likes this by 11:59pm Monday, I'll send them a BM to see if they want me to send soon, or wait due to travel. Otherwise, I'll ship shortly after the new year just to be safe.

Content hints (all contents now that I have them figured out, sans any extras I may decide to throw in)

4 breweries represented in the 6 beers
#1: A fairly new year round beer that comes in corked and caged bottles
#2: This beer shares a name in common with an ability in World of Warcraft
#3: A holiday brew that seems to have a "you either love it or hate it" reception (hoping you're the latter!)
#4: A beer originally brewed to welcome the end of the world
#5: Denny's
#6: This beer is available in your distro, but that won't stop you from being happy getting it in a box

Average rating of about 93. Lowest 87, highest 100.

Throwing it all out there for the most part, I'm not very creative with my hints this time around.

 

I think I know 4 of those beers' identities, but I won't spoil it

 

Well I'm still not even close to finishing the beers from @Clarkson 's last box, when he goes and bombs my porch with my LIF winnings from two weeks ago!!! He knows I"m a glassware ***** and he told me not to drink my Colour 5 that he sent me in the last box just yet... with good reason..this may be my favorite part of the LIF haul!



...and of course, there's beer too...



Prairie Standard
Prairie BA Bomb! - HUGE want, he knew I was ISO this beer and didn't have any to spare with our last trade, well somehow he tracked this badboy down, Thanks!!

Can't thank you enough for this awesome box Josh!!!

... and my LIF is still coming, I will probably wait til after Xmas to send out the box as I will be pretty damn busy with my entire family in town this week, but it's coming... keep your eyes peeled fellas..

 

...and putting the new glassware to use with this hop bomb! Cheers!

 

You win 2 internets for this, well done.

 

VBS - This beer is amazing!

 

VBS...
Big Black Voodoo Daddy, very good. Not on the same level at @bevoduz infused BCBS, but I don't want to drink all his in the same day...

 

The PVW BA version might be better than (non-Bevo) BCBS...I've had it twice but would need at least one more run at it to say for sure... for science.

 

#VBS Very impressed with this guy. Thanks Josh!

 

Jesus, you're alive?

 

More than ever!

 

Almost thought you said better than Bevo's...

I got my BBVD from @tommyguz, another great BA from PA. Would love to try the PVW. When is the next release up there, maybe time for a road trip.

 

No idea personally, could've been a one-off for all I know; I do know that the two times I tried it, though a year apart, were the same batch.

 

#vbs thanks @rspauldi!

 

It's so damn good.

 

Fact.

 

So this little beauty showed up on my door stop yesterday from @Ncpogs. We had made a little side action that included some NYFRB (2 of the variants) the rest was from the LIF I won due to my expertness at making lucky guessing related to a bowling 3 game series.

4x NYFRB 5.9% this beer is something special
1x NYFRB 10.7% excited to try this one I have enjoyed the 18% and the 5.9% previously. Will be fun to do a side by side
1x Mean Gene Barrel aged imperial porter yes please. This year I picked up the bean, blue and mean genes but I sent the mean off as an extra to a trading buddy in Colorado so excited to see this familiar face again
1x PW Mocha Abduction another abduction to tick yes please!
1x PW Sure Bet saw this one being #vbs'd and was an instawant. Mango Honey DIPA yes please!
1x Half Acre Big Hugs just recently landed the last batch and I am always up for a coffee RIS
2x Greenbush Delusion Templeton Rye BA Imperial Stout one for me one for the cellar
1x BBPT5 always enjoy this one, I recently BIF'd my last bottle from '13 so I am excited for the chance to taste this years.

Thank you again Nick for an absolute bomb. I am stoked the the collection of new to me brews and familiar favorites. You are the man!

 

No idea about when the release is but if you make it up this way hit me up (hopefully with some advance warning so I can 1) make sure I am around 2) make sure the wife isn't work/we have a sitter to hang out, although my girls are the youngest regulars at the pub, so they can go there, it's just more fun without them)

The PVW BBVD is amazing. They actually surprisingly tapped a keg November 14th, which coincided with @Shandycan 's visit to my place. Coincidence. I think not.

2014 BBVD just came out too, delicious as ever.

 

They who? Only place I've seen it on tap is Blue Dog?
