The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Did you want any of their shelf stuff too? they do some nice stuff other than the big boys. Union Jack, wooky jack, and Double Jack come to mind. Opal and Lil Opal too. And DBA to go with the DDBA you listed. I think I have some 2014 Velvet Merlin which is the non-ba version of Merkin. They do a lot of one 0ffs, while harder to get are worth it. Bretta Rose is their wild ale, I'd try to get that one. Any of their anniversary ales. And the piece de resistance for me would be PNC.

Good luck, should be a good tasting.

Edit, I have one 2013 12oz bottle of Velvet Merlin. You can have it if you want

 

They have a bunch of barrelworks sours, I think i have an Agrestic i could send down your way

 

I will be summoning my cheeseheads very soon! This cannot stand any longer.

 

Cant even leave a bottleshare without extra beers around here! #pickitup Blackberry sour from @PA-Michigander and a few wants from @Mipper- thanks guys! @JNForsyth opened some major wants of mine!!

 

Another year of Double DBA, another year of Velvet Merkin, you can always extend the Parabola and Sucaba verticals. Helldorado is coming out this year (=but I can't remember what month (edit: July, so just in time if you set up a trade/pickitup quickly).

You absolutely need at least one Anniversary beer, and I recommend as many as you can (the most recent is 18, it goes back to 10 but obviously the older the harder to get).

It's been mentioned, but the Barrelworks sours are well worth the price of admission.

Lastly, I'd recommend a few of the non-specialties, especially Double Jack and Wookie Jack, as well as perhaps Opal, Velvet Merlin, Mocha Merlin, and perhaps even a couple bottles of the core lineup (Union Jack, DBA, etc). These are obviously not as much 'fun' as Parabola etc, but if you want to give a sense of what the brewery is all about, you should have at least some of these.

 

We should probably get you at least an anniversary beer or two. Also helldorado will be bottled for the first time in July I believe, it replaced Double DBA this year. A blonde barleywine

 

Some have already echoed, but definitely invest in landing some of the barrelworks series. Feral One and Krieky Bones will be the most difficult to land, but the rest you should be able to get with limited release stuff. 13’ Merkin, 13 Sucaba, 13’ Parabola should all be within reason. Firestone Anniversary 16-18 should also be easy enough to get (anything older will start becoming increasingly difficult. If you can find it and not give up an arm and a leg PNC is the best Firestone walker beer I’ve had (Full disclosure I have yet to have Krieky Bones) Some of their shelf beers are great examples of their individual styles, Pivo Pills, Wookey Jack, DBA, are all good examples. If you’re needing some help for some of the shelf stuff I’m happy to #gopickitupforyoubro for a cost + label.

 

Welp I'm back to work after my extended post surgery vacation.. ahem, I mean recovery period. Avatar going back to the Treehouse *****y.

 

With all of us bringing our own contributions on top of the generous Northern boxes, there was just so much beer it was impossible to get through it all. Once the share died down I tried to get everyone still around to select what they wanted from the remaining stock and take it home. Tim did agree to take some bottles for him and Ajay to split.

I'm going to have to talk to Tim about his where he got his magic cooler. It didn't look all that big but he just kept pulling beer after beer out of it at the share, a Cantillon here and a Fonteinen there.

 

I've noticed some yanks going back to their old avatars. . Congrats South, I think we finally have a submission.

Edit: I hear there may be a truce in the works..

 

Sixterhood splashdown in PA!

 

I got a box! I'm pumped for this, will open over my lunch hour!

 

you are on a roll!!

 

Yes I have been, time for a bottle share! Oh wait, I was just at one.

 

AA round box is on it's way out the door today, I'm especially excited about this box because with some dumb luck and help from a friend I was able to get a growler of something you recently called "your white whale" in this thread. If that's not a dead giveaway I don't know what is.

 

Glad that they made it fine--Enjoy. Certainly no need for revenge--Unless of course you want to address this...

Maybe refocus that revenge southwards for one final volley to remind the southerners who really is still boss...



And an early weekday reminder--turnaround on this one is quick--

BM me by Wed. Night!

 

Mine wasn't a submission, but I missed my avatar and my 1000th Untappd checkin was the perfect occasion to resurrect it.

 

AKA - Mike is waving the white flag

 

I wouldn't mess with the enforcer. If he is waving a white flag, it might be your unconscious body draped in white.

 

All these new guys don't even know.....
