The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

So the last one is 9 hours and 50 minutes, from that time it was snowing, up hill the whole way, and you had to crawl to the finish line because you broke your leg at mile 8! 40 hours, bam!

 

I will be flying to Minneapolis, MN tomorrow morning for a couple days to attend a friends funeral. I will keep track as best I can with the guesses and keeping you all on track. I expect to have this figured out so I can ship on Monday.

 

Hope you enjoy the brews buddy and definitely appreciate your generosity in sharing the Coffee love!

 

Wait till you drink one. Let me know that everything arrived safe and in one piece. I get scared shipping growlers.

 

So anywhere between 4:51 and 5:35 for your last one and I win!

 

My condolences.

 

No reason for repayment man, just wanted you to have a couple bottles that represent my fair state well. Figured you needed to have a Sexual Chocolate, and sending just one bottle seemed silly

 

Gotcha, unfortunately I've already starting plotting......

 

1. France: Paris and Bruges
2. Italy: Rome and Venice
3: Boston, MA

 

@jawas - are we allowed to guess again?

 

I really hope the Abrasive is carbonated properly. The first batch had issues (and now apparently the second batch does too, though not as big as the first batch). Unfortunately I could only find the first batch at the places I went to... I've had two from the two 4-packs that I picked up and both were fine. Evidently the lower-carbonated ones still taste awesome though!

 

Ha, I forgot I guessed this morning. The day's been so long that its felt like two days already!

 

A few weeks ago @Tee2Grn expressed interest in some Trillium beers so we set up a semi-blind locals for locals trade. I haven't even shipped my box yet (#snowmageddonprobz + trip to NY for work) but Ian's box landed and the missus sent me a pic. Can't wait to crack into these.

We left things pretty open ended, the KRE was the only one of the beers I had any idea was coming:

• Short's Goodnight Bodacious - never had it but I'm a fan of black IPAs, oxymorons aside
• Oddside Jesse's Party IPA - never had it but I liked the one Oddside beer I've had
• Dark Horse BBPT5 - want
• KRE - 'nuff said
• Saugatuck Neapolitan Milk Stout - never even heard of the brewery, but milk stouts are right up my alley
• KBS (I think...) - quite possibly my favorite beer from quite possibly my favorite brewery

Thanks a ton Ian, could not have asked for a better welcome to the Locals.

 

Is that the new KBS label? Love it

 

I think those labels are for the PvW aged KBS's...

 

Just let us know if it's actually Founders Imperial Stout.......

 

One guess per hint.

Doesn't matter he didn't get either right. Once I post hint 3 your all free to guess again.

 

Is that KRE rewaxed too???

@whyteboy003 is our winner with his guess of 30:03:33. He may already know due to fedex notifications, but the box should arrive tomorrow.

 

I'm glad everything made it through the blizzard. The KBS is a special variant. I drank the KBS then filled it up with Imperial stout and some cheap ass bourbon. In the process I got a lot of beer on the label so I had to rip it off and use a Christmas present label. It's really good shit though. The KRE is really Rubeaus. Have your wife smell the wax. It's a wonderfully scented wax straight from a Yankee candle( only the best quality when I rip people off). The cinnamon vanilla scent is sure to activate your olfactory system. All joking aside I think Founders had a glue issue last year. Four of my 8 KBS bottles barely had a label sticking to them. If you like milk stouts I think you will really like the Neapolitin. It's think it's an underrated beer.
