The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Bah! You're just mad cuz we beat Big Blue this year.

I have neither sent nor received my winter Sixer, but (hint) my target is a bit freezy this time of year.

 

Wow, I had a lot to catch up on since I haven't been active over the holidays, so many lifs! But to my target, I plan to ship this week depending on the weather up there!

 

You might. Flower Power, Bomb, and BA Narwhal are from Mike, though it looks like the Bomb is still in my box, so my bad on that one. The Narwhal, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, and Worldwide Stout are from me.

We both decided to pile on to the other 12 Days boxes you got (and I think I still owed you a little something from my Baby LIF), though with you leaving town and me seeing you so close to your return, a handoff at BS 2.0 made sense.

ps- the Brooklyn and Dogfish are both from 2009; you seemed intrigued by the vintage bottle(s) I got for Mike for running Locals Round 3, so I thought you might like to try a couple.

 

Most likely shipping wednesday.

 

Drew, I thought it was a really solid stout. Great flavors and held up really well for 2 years considering it wasn't barrel aged. The only other Hunter I've had is Vanilla and it is also really good. Not as much vanilla as I'd like, but a great beer regardless.

 

Figures that I go back to work tomorrow and tonight is when I need to drink every beer in my fridge. Damn Lions

 

Cool, thanks! Happy to see that others are adding to the decorations.

 

Made a trip to Universal studios/Islands of adventure and Harry Potter (hogsmeade and diagon alley)
Duff, Duff lite and Duff dry all made by the florida beer company for the masses.
Wizards brew (sweet stout), Dragon scale (english strong ale), and Hog's Head brew(scottish export ale) also made by florida beer company but a step above.
Butter beer has no alcohol but is a super sweet cream soda with a frothy head

 

Hint #4 - Will be shipping early this week to avoid any Midwest layovers to a state in which my two favorite sports teams have both played in the last week.

 

LIF time!

So, since I apparently have a box of yummy texas beers coming my way, I figured I'd get this ball rolling. This LIF is for a box of 3 pizza boy crowlers, no more, no less (sorry, I can't go super crazy with this box unfortunately).

The only requirement is that you have posted at least once in this thread before. I'm not going to impose any "you must have participated in a round" rules or anything, since I've only been here since round 3 and don't really know who was in each round.

So, every year I attend a 4 day gaming convention in National Harbor, MD called Magfest. This year, it runs from the 23rd through the 26th. Last year, a friend hosted the first "Beermani legends" (title being a play on words on some inside joke kinda stuff), and this year I'm hosting the second annual in my suite, as he decided not to book a suite this year. It is by no means a whalez share, though a few really good things are showing up (CBS, KBS, BCBS, BCBCS), the rest pretty much being reasonable quality shelf beers and locals. It's basically an excuse for some of us to get together for a short period of time and share a few beers.

THE QUESTIONS

So, in order to win, you must answer the following three questions.

1) How many people will be in attendance?
2) How many beers will be opened? (If multiples of a beer are opened, it gets counted multiple times)
3) How many states will be represented, beerwise?

The winner will be the person with the lowest combined "distance" from the right answers (so if someone guesses 20, 50, 15, and the correct answers are 18, 30, 10, that person would have a score of 27).

Entries will be accepted until 11:59pm on January 21st. Winner will be announced sometime the week following (though probably that tuesday or wednesday, possibly monday). If a tiebreaker becomes necessary, I'll determine that when it happens.

A few hints

Hint #1: 19 people were invited
Hint #2: The share is only expected to last 2-3 hours. Last year's share lasted about that long. I don't have a bottle count from last year
Hint #3: At a quick glance, the people invited come from (I believe) 8 states, and one coming from Asia (originally from the states, but living there now)

Good luck!

Long range forecast not looking good for shipping nor receiving in the upper Midwest. may be a few weeks on the not summer sixer, hope people are forgiving because of weather delays! I'm good for it.
