The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

First off the long talked about and even more elusive @kgncfl Anti-Circle Jerk BIF. In a class with the Loch Ness Monster, Yeti, Bigfoot, and Southern Women with a full set of teeth(you know things you don't see), I caught a quick enough glimpse to snap blurry pics
KBS 15 Been shut out here in town so super excited
BBPT5 Permawant
Uncle Jacob's (gave all mine to Drew )
Jackie O's Vanilla and Coffee Dark Apparition Huge want
Brew Kettle Kitka cocount chocolate stout super excited I love coconut
Roeselare(never heard of it but sour aged in oak...i'm in!)
Morningwood Stout(I have one been afraid to drink cause I only have one)
Jackie O's Rum Barrel Oil of Aphrodite Permawant
18th St. Devil's Conclave Want
Jack's Abby Lager Ness Monster(never had a Jack's Abby!)
3 Floyd's Chevalier Bertrand(My favorite 3 Floyd's!!!!)
Trillium Broken Angel(my current favorite brewery and I've never had this or almost any other of their beers )

This kind of porch destruction should be reserved for Southern sympathizers but I accept this as accidental friendly fire and a nice way to put an end to this particular BIF. Thank you sir, you did good!

 

Porch down!

Yellow rose - ahad a taste but very excited to have my own bottle
Marshal Zhukov's, Velvet Merkin - Major want
Hopefully Moo-hoo is just as good as WnB
Sweet baby Jesus - dessert tonight
Cubano espresso - never had but breakfast tomorrow
Washington Porter, polar night, Duck rabbit and Buffalo sweat never heard of but that's another thing I dig about this group!

You may have won this battle but TSSRA!

 

So....About those two strikes, while there was no damage to the wife and I the porch is in bad shape but can be rebuilt. Hell maybe even employ some of you Rebs to do it after we end this thing...

First lets talk about this eager rookie. For being 25 minutes from my house (without traffic) he sure did a number on me. I can attest it is a little difficult since we shop at the same shops but apparently he had a couple tricks squirreled away.



FFF Alpha King familiar favorite. This used to be on shelves in 6packs at Jungle Jims as little as 3 years ago now it is 1-2 bottles per person anywwhere you look.
PW Mocha Abduction - fantastic want
Listermann Nutcase Raspberry Jam...I was at my nephew's first birthday during this release...not sure how you knew that but thank you!
Country Boy BA Sinkhole - new to me ba Imp stout is my jam though...are you in my head?
Pizza Boy Eternal Sunshine- fantastic another new to me...love everything I have had from Pizza Boy!
Bottle Logic - Darkstar November Thanks to @PG2G I have tried this beatufil black nectar excited to have another....
FFF yumyum - Pride and Joys replacement and much better
Dark Horse BA tres Blueberry - Another want and new to me brew.

Killed it @Corriecrafts hopefully you are just as happy with my counterstrike I wanted it to ensure my damage was done first.....

 

Another Union on Union attack from @henshawb, friendly fire nearly destroyed my house today. This was from the Barleywine LIF I won:

NG Serendipity
NG Belgian Red (both permawants)
TG PseudoSue (another permawant only had it once before)
Mobcraft Petrichor stout aged in Evan Williams single barrel 2003(um fuck yeah)
Founder's Backwood Bastard(permawant)
CW 17 want
CW Space Ghost(another want)
TG Pompeii(huge want)
CW Brewer's Reserve BW(love this beer)
Not pictured is NG Enigma which gave its life up in pursuit of my porch, probably due to some dirty attack below the Mason Dixon line or through travels through Apache country here in the territory.

Amazing box and I am lucky to be surrounded by all these great people!!

 

Sure is a lot of southern beer in that 'Northern' box.

 

First let me start with the expected damage. @Ncpogs wanted to send me a bottle of Square Grouper as part of our earlier trade but it wasn't released in time, then he had the '13 KBS I needed for a vertical so he said he would just "throw them in a box and send them my way:


'13 KBS - Sweet, now we can do the '12-'15 vertical that a buddy wants to do.
Destihl WSS Counter Clockweisse & Here Gose Nothin' - We get some Destihl stuff around here but I've never tried anything, never saw these before either!
Pipeworks Square Grouper - Mega-want, this will be consumed shortly at the next mini-share at my house.
Three Floyds Permanent Funeral - A want and my first ever FFF beer!
Surly Cynic & Furious - Loved what I've had from Surly before, can't wait to drink these.
Back to Nature Organic Shells & White Cheddar - Tasty noise maker.

Thanks again Nick, you went a little overboard in this little follow up box. We'll have to trade again sometime in the future so I can settle the score.

 

Strike two cam from a familiar filthy Texas Reb... @rspauldi had originally agreed to ship me a JK Repose that was I going to pour for an employee of the Bottle shop I frequent and the owner..He let the cat out of the bag when he included the acronym TSSRA (The South Should Retreat Anyday)....Anyways let's see the damage he inflicted....



Lone Star Beer - southern swill
Odell Tree Shaker - Peach IPA new for me from Odell they are pretty solid as a whole though and the brewery is beautiful
Bottle Logic Dark Star November - not sure if this was on purpose on not but a want and happy to have 2 of them
Ral Ale Commissar - New to me RIS familiar with Real Ale excited to try this
JK Kollaborationsbier - Collab with Live Oak who makes one of the only Hefe's I like...can't be bad
JK Repose - the beer I thought I was getting...Gotta take care of the folks who take care of you
JK Snorkel - a beer that I have wanted to tick but just hadn't sought it out yet
Karbach Brewing Weisse Versa Wheat - Sounds unique have to mow the grass this week this will go down after that
Real Ale 4 squared - familiar good brew
St Arnolds Icon Rye IPA and Endeavor DIPA - Guess I will have to choke these down too
not pictured Block Party Robust porter go cut off in the top to ensure your Red Neck swag made the photo....


Awesome stuff Russ...Too bad I couldn't make a quick jaunt over to Katy to drop a sneak attack on you either...For now it appears your porch is safe..

Almost forgot...in each box there was a block letter (I am assuming because only one of you southerners can read and write so each box gets the same letter?)...
Some delicious sounding Texas treats too...



Corrie wrote me a personalized love letter (he must be the one who can read and write guys) and some whoppers...I am not sure he is cut out for these war games....Not pictured was a dozen roses, an invite to prom and a note that says do you like me check yes or no....

On the real great job boys... The war is on!

 

"Look at the brains on Braaaaaaaddddd.......You a smart mother fucka........"
-Jules Winnfield

You catch on quick...I needed to clean out my fridge of all that swill..Glad you pointed it out.....

 

Cheer and Absolutely!
From what I here your cellar is amazing so I was hoping some of the these were new for you and had to say thanks for introducing me to the group!

 

That was personal I take it back!

 

This is how we do it in the South!



You damn yankees would've gone out and spent your hard earned money on a damn cooler by God.

 

Putting beers on ice...lol...I remember high school too!

 

And now on to the war related matters. I sifted through what remains of our receiving department here and found this 50lb. tactical nuclear weapon fired by @whyteboy003 :




Sadly there were no survivors, however, I considered my shipping/receiving department soldiers cannon fodder and they will be mourned but not missed. Now, on to the pROn!

The Titties!


Someone must have been paying attention the other day. I more often than not send glasses out and in all the boxes received I've never gotten my own, clearly that's no longer the case. Five! Count 'em, Five! Glasses in one box. Wow.

The Cans!


Miami Brewing Shark Bait, Big Rod, & Gator Tail - Love getting stuff I've never heard of.
Peanut Patch Cajun Green Boiled Peanuts - I love me some boiled peanuts! Every year when the family vacations in SC our first stop on the way to the beach house is a roadside stand to pick up some boiled peanuts. The wife will be pleased!
Due South Mexican Standoff and Imperial Caramel Cream Ale (I think??) Crowlers - Awesome, I send out Pizza Boy crowlers all of the time but these will only be the 2nd and 3rd crowlers I've ever received.
Due South Category 5 & Caramel Cream Ale - These look awesome.
CCB Florida Cracker, Invasion, Jai Alai (x2), & White Oak Jai Alai (x2) - More awesome Florida cans!

The Little Bottles:


Prairie Limo Tint - Want!
Funky Buddha Floridian & Hop Gun - Sweet!
Mikkeller Beer Geek Vanilla Shake - Big time want!
3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze - Had one of these but shipped it out to fill someone's wants, must be beer karma bringing it back around to me.
Community Legion & BA Legion - Want!

The Big Bottles:


Due South Calling All Cars - Never heard of this one, coffee & donut porter? Sign me up!
North Coast BA Old Rasputin - Have seen this one but never had a chance to try it, now I have my own!
Stone Woot Stout 2.0 - I've never mentioned this but this is a big time super duper want of mine, loved the first one but couldn't track this one down, speechless.
Funky Buddha Last Snow - Huge want!
CCB Florida Man, Marshall Zhukov's, & Evander - More CCB goodness to add to my collection, yay!

Final damage toll:


Holy shit Matt! All talk of war and what not aside you totally blew my mind with this. I wasn't sure if I wanted to laugh, cry, smile, or just take a nap while I was opening this. You are one great person and somehow, someway, I will repay this.....

 

Matt I am pretty sure the rebuilding power lines deal is a front. I have figured it out you are a gypsy brewer bouncing back and forth between FB and CCB. How many Last Snow and MBCP have you sent out...Seriously?

 

Well, some dirty Texas Ranger, hopeless defender of the Alamo attacked my porch with reckless abandon in my absence today... Engaging my sister in law to clean up your mess is the lowest of the low, somebody shall pay for this transgression!! This is the work of that scoundrel @Clarkson



BA Legion - definitely a want
Lone Star - chilling now
Lugene - want
Bomb! - Permawant
AB Noir - Huge want
Crowler - Live Oak Hefeweizen - huge long time want
Lakewood Raspberry Temptress - Huge want, love fruited stouts
Ranger Creek Strawberry Milk Stout - yes I do love fruited stouts
Real Ale Brewer's Cut Oyster Stout - typically like dry stouts
Southern Star Buried Hatchet - RIS in a can - winning

A true locals box. Revenge shall be ours! #TNSWA

 

Yeah, but mine is dual purpose though.......

 

Awesome box @whyteboy003 !
And I do mean the box itself... looks familiar

 

Also included....Delicious what-a-burger sauce and a nice Southern Star Tit...With some weird amoeba looking shape on the back that looks like Upper Mexico...Googling it to confirm.....



Thoughts?

 

Yes, here's my thought:

 

Nobody said ever said the next strike was coming from me. Here in the Union we run covert ops so some times you never know when it coming. Especially when your box gets hand delivered. That's the best way to avoid shipping notifications.
Glad you like the Superfluid. I think it's a great beer.
