The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

A little early morning pRon for you guys. Got a BM from @treznor last week so I had an idea something was in the works, especially when he said "I need your address, there was a bottle or two you accidentally left behind in NC."

Wow man thanks, I was bummed when I missed the Sexual Chocolate release by a few days but who needs to worry about trivial things like that with friends like these? It was also nice to get some beer today as I shipped out 6 boxes for various reasons the last two days, and as much as I like to send people beer I like receiving it just as much!

I will find a way to repay you good sir, not sure when or how just yet but I believe I have your address now and a sneak attack is imminent (that is if I can find something to send to someone that has over 4,600 Untappd check-ins.)

 

Dang that isnt me but I am on untappd as mcmastersanchez

 

1. France (Paris, Strasbourg)

2. Italy (Rome, Venice)

3. Charlotte, NC

 

If I would have saw this yesterday, and if it wasn't going to be -10 here this weekend I would have taken you up on this.

Generous offer, hope I can catch you next time!

 

Yeah it was a bit short notice as I wasn't 100% sure I was going to make it until around when I posted; generally I'm getting 3 or 4 growlers when I go for trades/BIFs/ninjas but this time I wasn't, so I figured I'd offer up my 'allotment'

 

@jawas
1. France: Paris & Normandy
2. Italy: Rome & Venice
3. Gaffney SC

 

@Kramerbarthomer, LIF Time: WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!?!?

Casey: Saison (2), East Bank (2), Plum (1)
Crooked Stave Cassis (1), Motif Reserva (1), Flor D Lees (1), Vielle w/ cranberry and spices (1)
Avery Tweak (1)
Odell: IPA (1), Mercenary (2)
Trillium: Mettle (1), Pot & Kettle (1)

 

Here I thought the Frank Underwood comment, would give it away. But SC would be too obvious even for Frank Underwood.

Also people are guessing regions in France, looking for a city name. One of the correct regions has been named.

Little #VBS from last night. Hops & Grain Greenhouse (January Edition). Took this guy to my first adult kickball league game. I only got up to plate once, but I was 1.000 (single). Not bad for the first time playing since I was a child.

 

Adult kickball?

ISO

 

@UcDru or any other Ohio peeps. A friend of a friend is going to the Columbus/Mansfield area soon, any shelf turds we should have him be on the lookout for? Hop JuJu isn't out yet, right?

 

Not an Ohioan, but look for White Rajah and Black Rajah, from Brew Kettle. Also anything you can find from Jackie O's.

 

I hear Hop JuJu releases this Friday in Ohio, at least at Jungle Jim's location

 

JuJu dropping Friday the 13th most places. If he is in Columbus check Wielands and Anderson's both have pretty good selections. Not Your Fathers Root Beer 5.9% is available in Columbus, Destihl hit Columbus not to long ago. Ohio Brews Wulver/BA Siberian Night from Thirsty Dog are typically around, Jackie O's has been more prevalent this year. White Rajah is outstanding if he is driving he could probably score a growler of Bodhi from CBC at Daily Growler or the CBC pub.

@kgncfl may be able to speak to better beer buying stores in the area I usually hit the two I mentioned.

 

Thanks!

 

this group is indeed the best. I wanted to share my last 2 "hauls" from folks in here.

I posted about the Westbrook 4th Anniversary bottles and sent some to @Ncpogs and @treznor. I mentioned some local bombers to each of them that were wants/perma-wants and they handled the rest. These 2 boxes are really effing nuts. Thanks guys so much!

@Ncpogs' destruction


@treznor brought the pain!

 

Man, i really need some OH beers in my life!

So when I did the Carton Coffee LIF, @UcDru gave his win to @UTvols05 (get those two user names correct) and I felt that for his generosity, I asked @UcDru for his address and I would hook him up, and he asked about a trade. So we agreed on some Jackie O's for a couple carton coffees and a growler of Gandhi Bot I got from @Littlelotte88. Here is the selection I received.



A huge thanks, I can't wait to try these out and a second of the Brink Kiln to satisfy my cellaring itch, while drinking one fresh. Your box will arrive tomorrow and I tried to make sure your generosity for giving up a win doesn't go unrewarded.
