The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

WooHoo! Would have rather have been at the actual share but this is a nice consolation prize. I thought I had given the Yanks too much credit by guessing high, but looks like you guys (and gal) did the Local proud. Thanks for doing the LIF Sebastian, much appreciated.

 

Lurks in..........

Logged a lot of miles in the south this past weekend. 1744 to be exact..........in 2 1/2 days

This is my report back to the north.

I saw a lot of Armadillo roadkill.....................that hadn't been turned into BBQ yet.

Lurks back out..........

 

UPS tracking on this box has been suspect but I believe there will be impact in Denver today, brace yourself you rebel scum!

 

Everyone ready for some bottleshare pron? Get your tissues ready gents (and lady? I'm not sure how that works).....

 

#VBS Sorry for the horrible quality...

That's Fou Foune, Carignan, Zwanze 2014, Saint Lamivinus, and Vignerrone together. With the help of three other couples from the US, we ended up drinking through the entire lineup (include 3 Fou Founes). One of the couples was from San Fran... and ended up being the founder/brewer at Almanac, so that was pretty cool! At one point we had 5 different bottles of Cantillon and an Almanac Farmers Reserve Strawberry on the table going

Denver??? Have you somehow snuck past my tracking notification defenses??? Hmm.... ready to get home from work and it's only 9:45!

 

Sorry I didn't get this all lined up into one of those stunning multi-tiered killshots. I got started lining them up on the porch table and a couple on the bench, and realized that would at best fit half of them. I figured some boxes behind the top row would get a few more, but I was still at a loss for how to fit the other 30 bottles into one shot, besides that arranging (and then cleaning up) all that would've taken a long-ass time and I wanted to get out of there.

If someone with some photoshop know-how would like to use these to make a composite shot, please do.

 

UPS stealth bomber inbound.

 

The North's Vermont stronghold is secure. Hill, Lawson, & the assorted others are free from contamination by any filthy rebel boxes.

@mklisz has been able to recoup in safety.

We can regroup and plot our next strategy from there, gentlemen of the North.

 

Translation: Fire ze missiles!

But I am le tired.

Well have a nap...then fire ze missiles!

 

Great to see how awesome the share was. Its funny how you picture ppl in your mind but then once you see them you realize you were way off. Like if I were to meet @Mikexw or @rspauldi Id be highly disappointed if they did not look like their old avatar, js. Also was looking forward to see @Littlelotte88 platium/silver hair, however looks burnette with blond tips? @Devman171 what happen to the "G" table? Maybe its hiding underneth all the godness I mean Goodness..
Cheers Locals, looks like it was a bad ass time!

 

Was revisiting this haul and the photo reminded me of how damn delicious those Cayenne Ranch things were...Thanks again @rspauldi!

 

haha, I should have had everyone kiss the "O" on my cornhole boards.. especially @UcDru and @Ncpogs

 

Wrong forum.

 

I cant remember the final score of the cornhole game but I do remember being on the good side of it

 

"The Battle of Farmstead Hill" sounds like a real thing

 

I wanted to ask if anyone is interested in a 15 Dark Lord. A coworker of mine has a bottle for trade and doesn't like stouts. Asked if I'd be able to get him some good IPAs instead. Let me know if you are interested. I think he may have 2. Sorry for the ambiguity on what he is looking for, just said "good IPAs".

 

As long as it comes with a lime-a-rita this might be a good 2nd chance for Greg, right @Littlelotte88?
