The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

#VBS
My first dG beer but hopefully not my last!

 

I saw someone here ISO even more than that, it was gross.

 

Well the beer auctioning asshat wanted like dg bus and lpk.

I feel like a bad gf bc Greg didn't any both my growlers went out.

And bc Matt already knows but he is getting fbd I think he has almost every nebco release now except supernaught and locusts rain I think

 

That's awesome, I've seen his 12 days start...

 

#VBS. Thanks Andrew! Only my second time having this, and first bottle I shared with my dad (though he probably took maybe ~8oz). Soloing this one. This is damn good IPA. Too bad the second bottle I got isn't for me

 

So a local guy I met two years ago and spent a few days up in Vermont with last spring told me to come over to his place (45 mi Utes each way) because he had a couple beers for me. Tonight after work I headed over there. Couldn't believe the generosity:



He was looking for a Prop, which I don't have and he then said, you've been really good to me before just find something sometime that you think is fair.

Sorry for the shitty pic.

 

NBO - SixterCAN trip #5

If you would like to be in consideration to be the recipient of a box filled with 6 cans (and then some), please BM me your shipping address. If you would prefer to skip this trip and sign up for a future trip, don't send me your address and wait for the next person to post their NBO to sign up.

Signup period ends at midnight Saturday, July 11th. At that time I will select the recipient and start posting hints as to who it is. Box will be shipped out no later than July 14th.

Trip #1 - Pennsylvania (LehighAce06) --> Texas (rspauldi)
Trip #2 - Texas (rspauldi) --> New Jersey (Jawas)
Trip #3 - New Jersey (Jawas) --> Connecticut (Littlelotte88)
Trip #4 - Connecticut (Littlelotte88) --> Chicago (NickyPogs)
Trip #5 - Chicago (NickyPogs) --> ???

See official rules below....


----------------------------------------------
How SixterCAN works:

1) The current holder of the SixterCAN 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 a previous or current Locals BIF round.
b) have not already received the SixterCAN box.

2) After the signup period is over, the current holder will randomly (or using any criteria of their choosing) pick the next lucky recipient of the SixterCAN 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, @@LehighAce06 will be the final recipient (hopefully without him knowing that it is coming to him).

3) The holder of the SixterCAN box will fill the interior box with high quality (preferably local) cans, 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.

4) The outer boxes will also be filled with 'extras' or swag, please make sure to replace whatever you take; not necessarily exact, 'IPA for an IPA' or 'hat for a hat', but please keep in mind the quality of what was removed, as well as your target's distro.

5) The box may also include a "challenge" beer. An envelope will be attached to the Challenge beer. Inside the envelope will be instructions on what activity needs to be completed BEFORE the recipient is allowed to unwrap/open the Challenge beer. The point is for it to be fun, for the group if not for the challengee, and for the bottle to be something extra nice that is earned as a reward for playing along for the Locals entertainment. Most importantly, the challenge is not mandatory, however the bottle cannot be opened until completion of the challenge, and not at all if the recipient passes on doing the challenge.

6) Once the box is received by the target, they will post the pr0n for all to enjoy.

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

FYI, this challenge should you choose to accept it is gonna be awesome!

 

More food and beer pron....



Tonight on the menu bacon wrapped scallops steamed broccoli and not your Lehigh's guac...

12 days brew allagash Mattina rose figured didn't pair well with the meal so it will be dessert the dinner selection was trillium farmhouse courtesy of @kgncfl.

 

I ate a salad... Now I'm Hungry again! Also, salt and pepper pistachio fill up next time

 

I hate to ask this, but my girlfriend, who is pretty indifferent about my beer obsession asked if I could get her some Sweet Baby Jesus. Figured I'd ask here if someone has access to it and wouldn't mind sending me a couple bottles? Would gladly turn it into a blind trade for texas local beers, or I could just paypal you for a #gopickitupformebro.

 

#VBS #datglass
Thanks @rspauldi ! My first La Cumbre.

 

Very easy to get around me, but may want to see if any of the maryland locals are able before looking to me -- probably cheaper down their way (beer near me tends to be a little above average in price). Either way, I'd be perfectly ok with a #pickitupformebro

FWIW I haven't purchased it in awhile, but IIRC it's around $11-12 a sixer up near me

 

9.99$ here, but I'd need a couple weeks to get it out, got a few boxes to clear first

 

I'm guessing you'll have plenty of better options, but if there is no urgency I suspect that sometime in the next couple of weeks I can get my hands on it (probably by having someone pick it up and then meeting them, although the fact that the closest place to me that sells it is Total Wine where you-know-who works could make it interesting)

 

Shouldn't be a problem for me

 

And that's the best part about the LOCALS group. Someone asks for a beer and within 10 minutes four people offer to make it happen. Cheers locals!

 

Done and done.

Edit: dammit, I'm like 5th, aren't I? Well if you still need it in a week, please BM me.

Edit 2: Don't ever feel bad asking for a #pickitupformebro, especially of easy-to-find shelf stuff. If the response to this request didn't make it abundantly clear already, we (collectively) love to hook people up like that, and personally I feel like there aren't enough opportunities!

 

Wow you guys are the best. I love this group.
@Mikexw @Devman171 and @ninjembro thanks so much, based on what everyone said, I think I'm going to bm @Syracuse12 or @LehighAce06
either of you want to do a blind trade? Would love to hook you up with some nice texas brews!

 

Or of course if either of you have particular wants from down here I can certainly try and hook you up!

 

I *think* I sent you a bottle, but I definitely did not send you the glass.
