The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

None of it is probably worth the great beer you have to give up for it dude... I've had some of them, many thanks to great friends on BA.... here are some reviews... DB Huna - awesome, BA Abraxas - awesome, BA Sump - awesome, BA 17 - awesome, KBBS - awesome, Assassin - awesome, SR-71 - in the fridge.....

oh, but don't forget about some of the brews I've gotten from The Locals too, here are their reviews --> Congress St. - awesome, Focal Banger - awesome, BB Wood Burner - awesome, Feral Vinifera - awesome, Bretta Rose - awesome, BA Darkness - awesome, Abrasive - awesome .... this list goes on and on and on and on...

 

Sorry, I by no means meant to imply that you didn't/wouldn't deliver... I was just curious if you expanded from an original deal to something much larger or if your trading partner was as out of his mind as you and some of the others around here.

 

You're right, ill just get my ass to beer festivals in some of these areas and get my tastes that way. I don't wanna give up any DDG lol

 

Opening a can sent by the reb @Damian74Shensky i received for a MLB BIF:



Might not be able to read it but there's wording that they intentionally made this beer smell like their indigenous 'Pluff-mud' that 'tourists and red coats' find off putting. Nice choice Damian!

 

One of my top three wants, if you ever come across some extra let me know!

 

socal sours are more likely to land them then my NE IPAs lol.

 

DDG? Let me see what I can do.

 

Dinner, HF brews, Tree House stuff should all pull high level beer. Not sure to the level of BAA, DBH, etc

 

I would chip in a box to help Nick land the DDG not that he needs help....

 

If you have the chance to trade with Martin, do it... that dude bombed my porch like few others have...

 

Store it colder than 50deg, if it is infected, the colder you keep it the better that will put the bugs to sleep and the less the infection can take hold. Let it warm once it's opened though

 

Oh yeah, it ain't a matter of that. Someone local asked me for a bottle previously so I gotta see what happens with that. Maybe I can arrange to split it with him (I only have two left).

 

A lot of this @PG2G. I've had a couple of the higher end stouts thanks entirely to the great people in the two BIF threads I spend my time in, and while exceptionally good, and definitely worth trying, there are so many "lesser" beers out there that trade for so much less that are no less worth trying.

If the bug has really bit you to chase some walez, I recommend doing it with your tasting group, have everyone pitch in a single nice bottle to put a 4:1 or 5:1 offer together, that way no one is out more than one nice bottle at a time and everyone gets to try the super cool walez.

 

#VBS - some Union Moonshine

 

It is pretty hot fresh

 

Don't want it that badly bud!

 

Worst comes to worst, if they stick to the 3 year cycle we'll be getting another batch next year. If I can't take care of you now, ill take care of you then (barring some internet crashing lost abbey bullshit lol)

 

It certainly ain't as good as our nice southern, rum barrel aged mountain suds (Avery Black Eye), but it ain't bad for that swill you guys call beer up in the North

 

My personal experience - the ones that SUSTAIN hype are typically mindblowing, but the amount of other awesome beer it takes to trade for them I "sometimes" can't swallow. Luckily, some of the guys in my share group have better connections than I - and often more beer than sense... LOL

 

I did land 1 bottle of black eye waiting for the right time to open it. Maybe after we make you rebs our bitches once again.
