The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Hey Dave! Did you see the Carton poker chip in the top of the shipper?

 

I've officially lost it...had a dream about getting a box of beer. The only detail I remember is that the sender used those small bags of potato chips as padding throughout the box.

 

Must have come from @heystevec in Maryland!

 

Dreams like that can become a reality here...

 

What's reality in beer fantasy world anyways

 

I really had to go back 50+ pages to find this, dang this gouop is getting after it, but here it is.

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 Friday, April 24th.

Thanks

 

I might go over to Snitz Creek to eat one of these: THE SNITZER - chargrilled burger, thin sliced lebanon bologna, cheddar, mayo, lettuce on a pretzel roll. Or even better, this: THE HOLY SNITZER - 3.5lbs of deliciousness-6oz burger patties, 6 slices of bologna, 6 slices of cheddar, mayo, Apple-Weisse BBQ sauce, lettuce and bun with a plate of fries. 35 finish it in under 30 minutes and its free!

Sounds like that might be right up your alley.

 

Might as well toss this one out there while we are at it:

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 are going to be out of town for a while or whatever. Jump in and out as you please.

I will keep this open until Sunday 4/26/15 @ 5pm and get the box sent out that week!

 

Nick, did everything land ok?

 

A box is on FedEx vehicle for delivery in Brighton, MI

 

Well isn't this a pleasant surprise

 

I've had multiple dreams about beer trading, you aren't the first.

 

That would be awesome! If you could snag two bottles of Opera Fudge and two bottles of Smokehaus 7 I would be in your debt (for probably a pretty short period of time )!

 

The Holy Snitzer sounds ridiculous and I usually don't go in for things like that (mainly because I'm pretty sure I actually could do it). The Snitzer sounds absolutely delicious though!

 

No surprise is better than a ninja surprise

 

I'll see what I can do.

 

Sadly enough I feel the same way about the Holy Snitzer. I've never delved into the world of competitive eating but I'm pretty sure I would kick ass at that, and not in a skinny Japanese guy kinda way unfortunately.

 

So fair warning--the northern cowards have turned to gorilla-warfare, wrongly thinking that things like UPS shipping/etc will wear us down and turn the tides of this war.

Came home to a sneaky package from @Devman171 -- thankfully the next generation of rebels is already in training. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.


(butter knife)


"This cannot stand, dad. Load up the cannons and return fire!"



Not cool, resorting to bribery and sweets. The resolve of the our young warrior was sorely tested here.


Family shot. Not sure what the white and black object below the beers is. Some kind of newfangled music-makin device?


Dark Hollow -- Just, yes
DC Brau Stone of Arbroath -- Wee Heavy...just like the return fire will be
Double Cannon -- Pun Intended? Delicious!
Horn Dog -- You northern nancies have dogs that fly??
Rise Up Stout -- Ha! The joke is on you. Rising up is exactly what we had in mind! (Looks amazing)



What's this?? Homemade bourbon barrel aged maple syrup? Devin, are you trying to sweeten your way into the south's good graces?
Crab Shell Christmas Ornament, painted with the colors of God's own football team. What's that, this is from a crab that I personally ate the first time Devin and I met, after he invited me into his family's home for a rip-roarin crab FEAST and bottle share? Seriously, thanks!
Flower Power -- First thing I opened, delicious!
Sunday Morning Stout -- Uh, yes. WANT
Chillwave Double IPA -- Permawant


Hop Hash -- Drank this next. Such resin! Yum
You Never Know -- I assume you x-rayed this and confirmed that it does indeed contain DBH before sending?
OTWOA -- A fitting foreshadow to the state of northern porches next week.
Bourbon Barrel Sidamo -- dat coffee!

Potato chips you say? Who knows...maybe you're prophetic?

 

Had to look that one up. About 1.5 hours. If you are going through the area, let me know. I'm near dulles...
