The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Samesies

 

Well aren't you guys just two sweethearts? I've only ever had a sip of one Trillium beer at the Locals share so you can put me on the list for sure.

 

Looks like there are three of these pesky damn Yanks that decided to get together and bomb my porch today. Not sure if they are survival packages for the flooding that been happening here or if they are for the small Houston gathering that is happening tomorrow. Either way, I'm going to be looking towards my fellow Houstonites (and a visiting Yank) to help me clean up the shrapnel from these bombs.

 

Not sure if any of you New Englanders are going to ACBF tomorrow afternoon, but if so, stop me and say hello. I'll be with @phuntasy and will be wearing a Worthy Burger shirt.

 

Ditto

 

No one has good access to Kane. Kane bottles are becoming exceedingly hard to come by for anyone. Small release there this weekend, we'll see if I can get family members to stop by since I can't make it.

 

We can change that tomorrow night! You should still try to win what he's got but I'll open a couple Trillium with you tomorrow.

Hopefully not the same Worthy Burger shirt. That would be awkward.

 

Crap, that's right, I forgot my good buddy Nick has a fridge full of Trillium goodies!

 

I put all my beers back in the cellar...

 

Just got a surprise box from @Ncpogs, not sure what it's for, could be my AA box though. Will open over my lunch hour, pumped because Nick is the man and I know from personal experience that he sends killer beer out all the time.

 

I'm pretty sure it's your AA box based on a hint he gave earlier in the week.

 

Which one was that? Sorry, haven't been paying attention, trying too hard to figure out my sender in the 12 days BIF so I figured I'd let this one be a surprise.

 

Something about opening it at work

 

Specifically a cube of space

 

Oh yeah, I see now.

 

so @Dave_Treat sucks at Math. Since I had a 12 shipper to bring back with me from the locals share and a 74lb suitcase and Keith had not ability to haul back bottles, he graciously offered to ship Keith's loot from the share to me. I told Keith I would hold onto it until the next time I was in GR and hand deliver it then since he is slightly nomadic right now. Since Dave was shipping Keith's 3 bottles, I have a buddy here locally who was stiffed a Hardywood BB Sidamo so I asked if he could pick one up for him and toss it in the box. Well he did and for whatever reason also tossed 5 other beers at me or him not sure which.



Alewerks Rapadou and BB Porter both hads and both delicious
Hardywood BB Sidamo the 1 beer I thought he would toss in the box with Keith's 3 bottles
Lickinghole Creek Nuclear Nugget a new tick honey DIPA sounds delicious
3 Borthers BA BW now have one to drink and one to cellar

Also not pictured were 6 beers (not 3) that will be headed to @kgncfl because of Dave's poor arithmetic skills and/or poor memory. I will let Keith post that pron when he receives them. Thanks again Dave I will put a little something together for you shortly to enact vengeance.

 

I have had a good run of trading binges as this haul came in yesterday in 2 different boxes. Knocked off 1 pretty big want of mine the Pulling Nails (b2) and one big tick of the wife's Sirius Black (she is a huge sour fan and bigger Harry Potter fan). Not a bad cast of surrounding characters either...

 

Packing up a box for California, and another box for Florida this weekend. Neither is a surprise, but I think both will make their recipients happy.

Then, I leave for Tampa/St. Pete on Thursday of next week. I think I'm meeting up with @gjoker321...how far away are @valrxman and @whyteboy003 ?

Places to hit while I'm there: CCB and Cycle (obviously), but where else?

 

If you're mobile enough, head north to Swamp Head in Gainesville, I keep hearing how great their stuff is (and am looking forward to finding out first hand thanks to @whyteboy003)
