The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Woah. Unreal. And jealous.

 

That's one nice looking patio, not to mention the box.

 

Gotta love Matt being Matt! Sick box indeed. Warning on that Mexican Standoff, was a want of mine and @valrxman kindly obliged but holy hell was it hot. Like, real hot!

What a beautiful site, can and glass made for each other. I hope PW's starts selling more glasses, I'm missing a spot in my cabinet currently.

This is has got to be 1 of 2 states... and I have a feeling it's coming to IL.

 

And now, sorry for the delay but some additional porch crushing pron from @UcDru who just destroyed me today. I expected retaliation from the box I sent a few weeks back, but didn't expect the tag team LIF forward from Andrew. #teamno for the challenge, but #teamyes for beer!

Cans... all new with the exception of Westbrook (and now Shade as I'm enjoying now). Read the labels, they all look fantastic


Small bottles

Brew Kettle - White Raja and Old 21 - Will be crushed Sunday
Ballast Point - Calm Before the Storm - probably passed this beer a handful of times but damn if this isn't right up my alley
Jackie O's - Bourbon Oil - Well Drew gave me the Sherry and Rum, so why not Bourbon as well. I don't even have the damn base lol. Sensing imminent horizontal
Jackie O's - Dark Apparition and BA Dark Apparition - Yes!!!! That BA DA is money
Jackie O's - Oro Negro - Huge want

Oh, but there's more. The Big bottles...

Rivertown - BA Old Sour Cherry Porter - sounds like they turned a mistake into an awesome beer. Excited to try this.
Country Boy - Warehouse Experiment #3 - Stout aged in 3 different barrels - this is exactly the kind of beer I'm talking about
Mad Tree - Axis Mundi - Aged with Coffee and Vanilla. Fuck the cellar this shit is already in the fridge
Quaff Bros - S'more of What - Drew knows me too well, if I saw this at work, beer boner. Glad I waited until I got home
Rivertown - Ojos Negro - Wine barrel aged blackberry sour, yes please
Rhinegeist - Saber Tooth Tiger - Looks like a damn good IPA

Drew, this is just a fantastic box. Epitome of a Local right here.

To my round 7 sender, take mercy on me and at least wait to later in the shipping window, maybe...

 

Awesome box. Jeez.

Has anyone had Oro Negro yet? Is it as good as its rating? This beer has kind of skyrocketed up high in the top 250 rankings (after they changed the formula)... But anyways, I may need to seek this out, along with Champion Ground

 

Oro is pretty damn good...stands up to huna in my opinion..im packing some more boxes this weekend if I have an extra I'll shoot it your way. Trying to get my hands on some champion ground!

 

Many apologies for holding back the pron so long, but I was hit yesterday by @Louis121 for Round Se7en.... He killed it!

Pipeworks Morning Vice - Coffee Brown Ale? Sounds interesting, and very tasty
Pipeworks Citra Saison - Looking forward to this, I love Citra and saisons!
Pipeworks Pistachio Abduction - Apparently somebody did their homework because beside the BA version this was the only variant I was missing.
Pipeworks Black Tuna - I LOVE Square Grouper, and while I'm often not a fan of Black IPAs, I have a hunch this will be an exception.
Solemn Oath/Bruery Conquest - This beer is cool as hell, comes in a big, very fancy tube, with a super cool poster inside. Really unique sounding brew too, looking forward to trying it
Revolution Straight Jacket, Deth's Tar, and Very Mad Cow - I love Revolution, especially their barrel program. The latter is the only new tick for me, but both of the first two will be thorough enjoyed upon the revisit
Three Floyds Wigsplitter - rated toughly
Spiteful Brewing God Damn Pigeon Porter - Sounds delicious, and my first from the brewery.
Pipeworks Blood of the Unicorn - Got to taste this earlier in the week and loved it, excited for another go at it
Surly Todd the Axe Man - Same deal only more than a week ago

Solemn Oath bottle opener - Hands down the coolest bottle opener I own.

Again, thank you very, very much!

 

Were are drinking out of the same glass tonight, thanks @whyteboy003

 

I'll second this. I'm running out of places to put beer.

 

I wonder if there is some variations in that Mexican Standoff. @LehighAce06 mentioned how hot he thought it was as well. Yet when I had it, while there was some heat, I thought it was close to perfect.

Man I also just read @PG2G Hints and was curious if it was coming to PA.

 

Decided to wake up early and watch the Arsenal @ Newcastle match. Who is the Gunners fan? They have not looked very good despite being up a man since the 16' mark. I'll be interested to see if they can capitalize in the second half.

@wheelzntoys did you ever say where you were? More curious for the location than any LIF

 

@heystevec is a gooner fan

 

At least they 'scored' and should gain the 3 points and I guess that's all that matters.

 

I'm also a Gunners fan & Arsene doesn't seem to get them ready in the beginning of the year; they've looked bad every game so far. Last year was a rough start also & with a better start there was a good chance to win the Premiership

 

I cannot wait for the molestation of Arsenal by my Bayern in the UCL. Arsene will do some serious whining I tell you!

 

Wait, we have an Arsenal fan in here... Oh man. COYMFS!

 

I'm catching up (again) -- and loved your use of "the timeless classic" here...

 

Should I be insulted?

 

@valrxman sent me a growler of Mexican Standoff, and it was way too hot for me. But I'm not a big fan of stuff like Cake or Bomb! either, so maybe it was me.
