The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

No worries dude! Count up if you want and BM me.... cheers!

 

I had a nice posting of my **** here at four fathers but my dang phone didn't accept it for whatever reason and it was a pain to post from my phone so I'll post when I get to work tomorrow and have a good computer to use. @Ncpogs was right on with both beers from four fathers I asked about.

----------------------------------------------
How Horizontalhood works:
1) Some of my favorite beers have come from a brewery “Sampler” trade where I ask my trading partner to throw in a whole brewery’s lineup. If I didn’t do this, I would have only had Lunch, and not a tiny beautiful something. I might have only had Jai Alai and not Tocobaga. So the purpose of this BIF is to showcase your local brewery’s line up and send something that wouldn’t normally be asked for. Show that your local brewery is not a one trick pony.
2) The current holder of the Horizontalhood box will make a post in the Locals BIF thread saying that the signup period for the next Trip is open and will be open for 2 or 3 days. Anyone that would like to be a potential target for the box would send their address information in a BM to the current holder of the box. To be eligible the person must have:
a) participated in Locals BIF rounds 1, 2 (summer 6'er), 3, 4 (Winter 6’er), or any of the new faces that have recently joined us prior to this Trips NBO post
b) have not already received the Horizontalhood box.
3) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly pick the next lucky recipient of the Horizontalhood box. They will not announce this person nor the number of people that signed up, but instead will start posting hints as to where the box is going (BIF style hints). If no one signs up to be the next recipient then, as the original founder, @@Clarkson will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).
4) The holder of the Horizontalhood box will fill the box with high quality local bottles from A SINGLE LOCAL BREWERY ONLY, and ship it to the target. Make it a kickass box, but with this group of people I know we won't have to worry about that. Also, add the targets name to the tracking board in the box and add any 'decorations' that you wish to help commemorate the box's visit to your state. You may add one piece of swag in place of one beer, but it has to come from the brewery that is in the box.
5) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.
6) Start over at #1

You do not have to enter every signup period. You can pick and choose when you want to be in consideration to be the next recipient. This would be nice if the current holder of the box is from your own state or an adjoining state or if you.
Cheers!

I will leave this open for the week to allow everyone the opportunity to sign up.
Sign ups will end at Midnight on Monday, April 6th.

Thanks

And how do they compare?

 

Were the first 2 early, late, or on time?

I'll go with 4/11/15 at 7:29 PM (I think that's when my son was born)

...and Cran-bic is so damn good...may be my favorite NG beer

 

You BETTER not! Especially after hearing that! Seriously Kyle enjoy it yourself bud, if you feel the need to send me something get it from your bootleshop not your cellar.
Cheers

 

Keep your hat in the ring, if you win you can always forward it on to someone else and earn some more beer karma that way.

 

So that's like 10 check ins for you on Untappd tonight right LYMI, seriously though, I really enjoy this beer and always overlook it.

 

Anyone up in the northeast that might get an extra Resurgam bottle or two early next month let me know, that's a want of mine.

 

Both tasty but in very different ways. 2014 is tart and lemony, ton of brett aroma. 2012 is MUCH more subtle, almost no sourness at all, more farmhouse/hay flavors. I think I prefer 2012, but ultimately it's just a very different beer with the extra time on it.

 

Drew I am so sorry I sent you this beer. I had mine tonight and it is way off. I'm drinking it all but not liking it, gotta bend over and take it like a man.

 

I'm not drinking it all....

 

That could just be one bad bottle in your group though. Better go open a 2nd one now to be sure. Trying to be optimistic, but it doesn't sound good
