The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Yep, although I haven't had any yet

 

A package is on truck for delivery in NJ.

 

Interesting they are allowing proxies. It does seem pricey, maybe 1 bottle for me.

 

Did you see that @Clarkson, someone said "Horizontal"?

Stay tuned everyone! I feel something brewing...

 

Is that the secret word of the day?

 

Before you get any ideas, I have the rest of the horizontal already built (Beer Geek Breakfast, Beer Geek Brunch Weasel, Beer Geek BreAKfast Oak aged, and Rauch Geek; I think that's all of them.

...Unless you count Baller Stout and Murda'd Out Stout, the FFF anniversary beer/ba variant that blended Dark Lord, Darkness, Black Albert, and Beer Geek Breakfast together, but those are stupid hard to get and I opened my Baller at a bottle share... Long story short I'm not bothering to try to include those

I was wondering the same, and great pic. Would be even better if somehow the word in the pic was "Kiwi"

 

just wait....

 

Does anyone mind if I drop off my box on Monday? If not I can drop off Friday. Just worry with the cold! Or I'm being paranoid.

 

Personally, I never like dropping boxes in the mail on Friday. They just sit around. Much better to hold onto it and bring it in Monday. I don't think anyone in the group would care, better safe than sorry.

 

I know I have a few incoming boxes from people in this thread. If you haven't sent the box yet. Please wait till jan 26 or later to ship. Ill be in Texas all next week and my wife won't be home in the afternoons and these packages if delivered next week will be stuck on my porch most likely over night.

 

I'll be dropping my box on Monday too. Weather was very iffy. I agree with @Ncpogs--I like to see the boxes move continually--no telling where it sits on the weekend (maybe the back of a non-climate controlled semi?...). I didn't get my box out today (too cold to sit in my car until lunch--I'm a teacher. Can't really bring that in to school...), tomorrow will likely mean box sits over the weekend, so I too will be shipping Monday. Sorry target...

 

My current plan is to pack Sunday or Monday, ship either Monday or Tuesday.

 

Houston?

 

I'm glad that the "enforcer" is on the same shipping schedule as me. I wouldn't want him showing up at my door for being a few days late. I mean, just look at those pectorals!

 

I know we have a bunch of football fans in here, am I the only one who thinks my avatar looks like Bill Cowher?

 

@Dave_Treat was right, new and exciting things in the Locals today!

NBO - Horizontalhood Trip #1

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. 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 January 18th. 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 - Texas--> ??


See official rules below....

----------------------------------------------

How Horizontalhood works:

1) Some of my favorite beers have come from a brewery “Sampler” trade where I ask my trading partner to throw in a whole brewery’s lineup. If I didn’t do this, I would have only had Lunch, and not a tiny beautiful something. I might have only had Jai Alai and not Tocobaga. So the purpose of this BIF is to showcase your local brewery’s line up and send something that wouldn’t normally be asked for. Show that your local brewery is not a one trick pony.

2) The current holder of the Horizontalhood 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, 4 (Winter 6’er), or any of the new faces that have recently joined us prior to this Trips NBO post
b) have not already received the Horizontalhood box.

3) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly pick the next lucky recipient of the Horizontalhoodbox. 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, @Clarkson will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).

4) The holder of the Horizontalhood box will fill the box with high quality local bottles from A SINGLE LOCAL BREWERY ONLY, 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. You may add one piece of swag in place of one beer, but it has to come from the brewery that is in the box.

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

6) 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.

Cheers!

 

It makes so much sense now!!!

 

It's almost like I was in on it

Seriously though, what an odd coincidence; really I'm just glad Dave isn't trying to expand the PA vs VA war to include me

 

You Pennsylvania people seem to be having issues getting along with other states.

 

We didn't start a revolutionary war because we play well with others
