The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

VBS - Kicking off this weekend with this amazing brew with #properglassware. Thanks @Bjorn2bWild . My daughter insisted that I include Olaf.

 

Ata boy, remember who your friends are. I'm not actively seeking one of those gems, just like the way you think.

 

Any one surprised that Kevin piled on right at 20k? I bet he's been waiting all day for that one...

 

Considering how much Kevin posts, it makes sense to me that he got the 20000th post.

 

Crap, it'll be a week before I get to open it. But, gotta take care of family first.

 

Totally - just wanted to make sure your wife said it arrived.

Hope everything is okay!

 

I'll check with the gate keeper.

All is ok, mom is having surgery to replace the arteries in her neck, amazing what doctors can do now a days. Just want to be around to make sure she doesn't try to escape the hospital early while the nurses aren't looking...

 

You need to watch your porch for more black gold from the stouts 4...

 

You guys are just teasing me...Not a good beer in this small town I'm in...

Any one in this thread from Kansas city?

 

Didn't somebody post a link where you can buy one for like $5? Not sure why you haven't just pulled the trigger on that.

Unless getting it from @UcDru gives you a raging @Mipper in your pants.

Oh my god, that is incredible.
In all honesty, I did a shoulder to ear neck cringe when I read that.
Best wishes to mama Treat; Let your Locals brothers/sister know how she does.

 

#VBS - Troegs Scratch 177 (IPA w/Mosaic Hops)


Cheers!

 

I hope the surgery goes ok and your mom has a quick recovery.

 

Niiiiiiiceee. Post a picture of the draft list and let The Locals pick your next beer.

That was a fun game last time someone played it!

So far, I vote Java Head Stout

 

Big perpetual fan..

 

All the best Dave! My grandfather had the same surgery a couple of years ago, pretty amazing indeed.

 

Noted.

Noted.

edit: You're in Troegs' distro, so I guess no need for me to note that.

 

Damn I didn't think about that. Not a fan of Java Head but Perpetual is a really underrated beer. I've had everything but the scratch beers multiple time, went with Scatch #176 (Red Ale):

 

That's the problem with Troegs, they have a pretty large distro area. Unless you shipping across country the only good options are the Scratch Beers (rarely bottled) or the barrel aged/Splinter beers (few and far between).

 

Yeah I send out a lot of Impending Descent but that's about it from them, since I can't really get the Splinter beers. Their distro isn't nearly as large as DFH or Victory though... it's great that they're all doing so well, but from a trading standpoint it's a bummer that I can rarely use their stuff.

 

That was me with Fremont... It was pretty cool, wouldnt have tried some of the ones i did if i hadnt done that...
