The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

and btw, we hit 12000 posts...

 

The hard part was trying to find stuff you hadn't already tried -- until today, I didn't realize you had an untappd, and stalking on BA ratings is a little harder. I sent more than originally planned, because I was helping cover the other LIF you won; the funny part is that you sent me extras with the summer sixer as payment for my enforcement activiites in round 1.

 

Just joined recently Mike - so much harder to track my beers on the BA APP having to rate all the categories - really just a ticker at heart anyway, although I do love any good beer. You provided just that in quantity - way more than expected and I do appreciate it.

I haven't forgot that I owe you an Odd Side CPA that was a casuality in that summer sixer box

 

VBS for Thursday night. Canned 1/12. Zero carb issues with this one. Cheers!

 

Epic box from @JasonR1975

Dragon's Milk with Raspberries- want! Love dragons milk, can't wait to try this variant
Barrel Aged CEO stout, never heard of it, but it sounds delicious!
Morningwood Stout- haven't updated my wants, but this should've been one
Black Note- permawant!
Bourbon Barrel Pt5th- permawant!
2013 Expedition- never had, always wanted to try, @ajaylock is contributing a 2014 for a side by side
Hopslam- super fresh, permawant
Twohearted- absolutely love this brew

Phenomenal box! Exactly to a t the style I was looking for. So much stouty goodness with some nice ipas to break it up. Thank you so much @JasonR1975 sucks that the 1st box broke, but you killed it with this box!

 

That is a solid box right there

 

I did it!!! LOL - I can get through the gauntlet of the Houston distribution and box pulvarization center!

Really glad you like it - CEO is a pretty popular canned coffee forward sessionable stout here. They just recently released on a very limited basis a few variants, I think you'll enjoy.

Cheers!

 

Haha, my guess is that 1 bottle broke and when they opened the box and saw your epicness they drank it all.

But very excited about the ceo, and everything for the matter. Going to share the ipas with the lady tonight or tomorrow. Thanks again!

 

#VBS 2012,13,14 base and bourbon barrel aged. I used to love this beer pre 2012, but it just downright sucks now. Surprisingly Rahr was the only craft brewery here for quite while in a metro area over 6 million people. They just went downhill when they got competition. Sad.

 

Bell's makes so much amazing stuff, but I think you got their four best...

 

VBS. You should look for this one. Barrel Aged Black Albert. Or you can just be my target in #stoutBIFIV

 

VBS

 

Wish airplanes had better beer. I'd do a vbs on my flight home.

 

It actually might be easier with more people, since it won't be as hard to avoid sending to people you've sent to before. But while one person can probably assign targets, I think you're right about two people sending out stuff. Or just split up the entries half and half and say each person gets a target from the other half -- that way two folks can split up the work, and even the organizers won't know their sender.

I was also thinking then when we avoid people you've sent to before, I think it's gotta just be people who were your locals target before -- with all the BIF's, LIF's, GLIF's, and WTFIF's going on I think most of us have sent or received to too many others to avoid.

 

#VBS - Really enjoying this Liquid Bliss - so much peanut butter on the nose and finish. And I'm drinking this while I open the single greatest box of beer I received! You guys have no idea what Josh has started here. You will definitely want to get in on this Horizontalhood, pron to follow shortly.

 

I thought we already were doing that. I've LICC'd @edhizdeid before and he was my sender this round. Not that I'm complaining even a little bit.

BTW, no one has LICC'd in a while. Is that just dying out with the barrage of LIFs?

 

It's hilarious you say that because my Instagram/Twitter/Untappd name are NickyPogs and that's what quite a few people call me. Are you stalking me?

 

Its how I read your screen name, too. Maybe thats cuz I grew up in a primarily Italian neighborhood, though.

 

I don't know if I should like this post because it's a cool line up, but sad the quality has gone down hill...

 

I'm horribly unoriginal it's not that much of a stretch from your user name. Wish I was much more nefarious!
