The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I have been ignoring their releases for the most part. I'll be paying attention from now on

 

You know, I'm actually pretty good at math. But when it comes to adding beers or ounces my math skills just go right down the drain. . Enjoy Nick, that pic just made me put a couple in the fridge.
Cheers

 

I remember that box.. have you finished it off? If so, what was the high light? Which would you want more of?
Cheers Bill

 

VBS part 3 - #properbeer

 

Okay, so pron promised and pron delivered. Mind the typing, I've been drinking since I was at work at 3...


I asked for 4x CCB Cubano-Style Espresso and a Last Snow, I got:
Due South - Caramel Cream Ale
Due South - Category 5 IPA
CCB - Puppys Breath Porter
CCB - Evander (I think, the label is fucking hard tor ead and I've had a few...)
CCB - Winter Wamer
CCB - 6x Cubano Esspreso
Great Divide - Belgian Yeti 2012
Funky Buddha - Last Snow and Glass

Not pictured, 2x White Oak Jai Alai, drank them both toady at work, super taste, CCB Invasion consumed with buddy.
Great box Matt, feel like this could have been a CCB Horizontalhood. Hope you enjoy the return fire, get ready to remove a few wants from your list...

 

BIF hint, I saw the same starting pitcher three years in a row, 2010-2012. the third year was in your city

 

The smallest box I've ever shipped had four 16-oz beers in it (packed in tight) and cost me $12.66 to ship. But about half the boxes I've shipped have been under $13.50, so I suspect that's a pretty decent guess at a minimum cost.

 

Update on my "how many 15s will I pass by the end of March" LIF! The controller for that game has finally shipped, so should be here soonish (even though it's coming from China, others that have ordered from this vendor have reported "teleportation shipping")

That said, I'm going to keep the "end of March" as the endpoint (unless something unexpected happens). However, once the controller arrives, guesses are closed. After March 31st ends, I will post the winner, and hope to have the box out sometime by the end of April.

If you want in, now is your last chance to enter! I'll list the numbers that have been guessed already.
9, 13, 15, 19, 27, 33, 35, 39, 41, 44, 45, 50, 53, 56, 62, 65, 67, 77, 111

@devilfluff , on my spreadsheet I have you listed as guessing, but you guessed an already guessed number, and to my recollection, have not updated your guess yet.... so if you still intended to enter, post your new guess!

Just as a reminder, there are ~120ish (too lazy to go back and find the original post right now...) "level 15" songs in this japanese rhythm game, and the guess is how many I'll clear by the end of March (hints were that I'm natural at music games, have only played this on a few occasions but have passed a handful of level 14 songs, including one of them being like my 6th ever song, but haven't passed any 15s), with "closest without going UNDER" rules (meaning if I clear 14, the person who guessed 15 above is the winner. If I clear 16, the person who guessed 19 is the winner, etc)

 

Let's go with 21.

Thanks for the opportunity!

 

How many open LIFs do we currently have going on?

I can't come close to keeping up with it all.

 

I just started an LIF to guess how many LIFs are open

 

16, thank you!

 

24, thanks!

 

7, thanks!

 

4 - thank you SO much for the opportunity.

 

5??

 

I guess I'll adjust to 30, then.

Thanks.

 

Just reading through the thread, work has been pretty annoying lately.

I feel like for myself I was struggling with a 150 oz maximum, as I was putting my box ideas together. Add one beer remove another. etc. While Im not sending 300 oz of beer in this round, I find it hard to balance local stuff I want to send, possible target wants/styles and a tight limit.

With that said, if I send 150-200 oz plus some swag and some extra treats or something, I do not expect to get the same in return. I expect 150 oz of my senders local bottles I could not get myself tomorrow at my local beer store. I don't expect whales, I don't expect 100 rated beer. I just thanked @Dave_Treat for opening the door 1st for generosity so when I send a little over the limit, I don't look like the jacka$$.

@HoppySeb There is a local IPA just bottled, depending when they release the six packs at the brewery, is when your box will ship. Should still be this week, as the photos are showing fully capped and packaged six pack, just sometimes they don't release stuff mid week.

 

I'm glad I could take looking like a jackass off your hands...

 

Haha I'm going to have to do some research cause even I don't know haha
