Well, I'll just need pass that on then...

Dear target for locals 7, I must apologize. I have what I need for your box, but am now unable to pack and ship it for a while.

Dear sender, if you have not shipped yet, you mifght want to hold it for a bit. If you already did, or do, my wife will bring in the box, hopefully

A word of advice to all Locals, if you have been told to go to the ER by your doctor, and you stop to drop off a box, don't tell your wife. I'm in the dog house, but more importantly, the box is on it's way.

Bad news, I was committed to the hospital and no news for how long. I have a serious infection that has me on iv until it gets better. It is bad enough, that it could cause bad shit. Worse part, my wife aint bringing me no beer

so, the only whine you will get out of me...and i will only say it once, excluding some locals from the anniversay toast was BULLSHIT.

so, how is that for a post that's all over the place?

Thanks @valrxman for throwing this into the TNKOTB (Newbie BIF) going on. I'll share my box when it arrives. Can't wait!

I'll put out my own LIF out there for others to enjoy, in all 3. Don't think I'm experienced enough to join in this awesome BIF, just want to let you all in on this since @valrxman was generous in inviting us newbies.

I use to be a pro photographer. Now, I just do a few weddings a year for extra cash. I have 3 weddings this month (12th, 19th and 26th). I shoot 9 hours per wedding and use 2 nikon DSLR's. I'm the main photographer, so I run the show and shoot all the formal photos, etc. There is another photographer with me, but I will only count the images I shoot with my 2 cameras. Yes, I use 2 due to different lenses (wide and telephoto) and backup. Guess how many photos in total I'll take total at all 3 weddings. Closest answer wins the box! Tag me so I can keep track of submissions. Will take submissions until Sept. 25th!

Good luck!

Tom Brady LIF – The Results

Over the last week, since the Honorable Judge Berman struck a blow to the oppressive dictatorship that is Roger Goodell and the NFL, all of New England has been celebrating the return of Tom Brady – the greatest quarterback to ever live. His greatness is so great that the word “great” isn’t great enough to encapsulate exactly how great he really is. He deserves to be celebrated with beer.

Round 1:
The first 12 people (Tom Brady is jersey #12) who “liked” my LIF post were automatically entered.

Round 2:
Each of the 12 participants chose a 2-digit number. The sum of these two numbers equaled their Round 2 entry – the 6 participants (Tom Brady has been to 6 Super Bowls) closest to “12” moved on. Since there was a tie, I allowed a 7th to advance.

Round 3:
My fantasy draft was held on Saturday, September 5th. The 7 remaining entries were asked to guess a number (recommended between 20-60) – unbeknownst to them, this number would be their guess as to what draft pick Brady was selected. He ended up going #50 overall, and 3 moved on (Tom Brady has won 3 Super Bowl MVP awards).

Round 4:
A 3-digit number was requested as the Round 4 guess. The 2 entries (Brady has 2 big brass balls) closest to Brady’s career TD total (392 TD all time) were set to move on. Since one participate didn’t guess in time, the 2 that did guess moved on.

Round 5:
To select the 1 winner (There is only 1 G.O.A.T. – Brady) the remaining participants submitted guesses for Brady’s performance in the season opener last night. Passing yards, Passing TD, and number of different receivers to catch a pass. @twofacedmonster got the number of unique receivers right on the nose, and was closer in Brady rushing yards. Congrats brother, the box of New England goodies is yours! BM me your details and I'll get it out to you sometime soon!

Season Long COLTS LIF.....

I love that football has started up again and I get to cheer on my Colts for what will hopefully turn out to be a Superbowl winning season. To add some more fun to it I'm going to start a season long Colts LIF. I just hope this doesn't get too complicated....

For this LIF I am "LIF betting" a box of beer on the Colts (against the spread) in every game this season. You are putting up nothing, I am the only one that will be sending beer. If the Colts lose against the spread then I will ship a box of beer to a lucky recipient. If the Colts win against the spread then I will not ship a box of beer. So there is a possibility of 16 boxes of beer up for grabs as a part of this LIF.

The official spread for this LIF will be taken from ESPN on the Thursday before each game.

Here are some examples:
-- The Colts are favored by 3 points = If they win by 4 or more then I will not ship a box. If they lose the game or win the game by 3 points or less then I will ship a box.
-- The Colts are 7 point dogs = If they win the game or lose the game by 6 points or less then I do not ship a box. If they lose by 7 or more points then I will ship a box.

So, who do I ship a box to you ask? That is where you all come in. Below is the Colts schedule for this season. All you have to do is pick the one week that you think the Colts stand the best chance of losing against the spread. If the Colts lose against the spread that week then everyone that picked that week will be put into a randomizer and that will determine who receives the box.

Week 1- 09/13 at Buffalo Bills
Week 2- 09/21 New York Jets
Week 3- 09/27 at Tennessee Titans
Week 4- 10/04 Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 5- 10/08 at Houston Texans
Week 6- 10/18 New England Patriots
Week 7- 10/25 New Orleans Saints
Week 8- 11/02 at Carolina Panthers
Week 9- 11/08 Denver Broncos
Week 10 - Bye
Week 11 - 11/22 at Atlanta Falcons
Week 12 - 11/29 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 13 - 12/06 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 14 - 12/13 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 15 - 12/20 Houston Texans
Week 16 - 12/27 at Miami Dolphins
Week 17 - 01/03 Tennessee Titans

Make sense?

If tl;dr, just pick a week from the above list and I will let you know after the game that week if you are getting a box of beer or not.

GO COLTS!!!!

Ok, so Ive gotten a few extras lately that have been FUCKING AWESOME. So a "small" LIF offer:

I have an extra 4 pack of Carton Boat. I am not an IPA guy. But a few of you hooked up a friend with Pliny the Elder and sent a couple amazing bottles as extras. So my friend hooked me up with some beer to thank you all with. I took care of the two guys who shipped but now I have an extra 4 pack of Carton Boat. So this is open to anyone who has been active in any Locals round, and has never had and wants to try Carton Boat. Plus Ill toss in a "couple" extras. Yeah that Jawas extras. Just reply to this post and Ill randomly pick someone on Tuesday, so Ill end this on Tuesday noon, EST.

Came home to this.

I proceed to look at the labels just to find out that they are all from the same person! And these are no small boxes. I tried using the chair for a size comparison. The box on the bottom is a 12er. @valrxman what on earth did i possibly do to deserve something of this magnitude. Not only is my porch gone, but my house, as well as the neighbors went down with it.

I will not be listing out the beers for obvious reasons. here we go. Lets start off with the cans.

WHAT! All but the jai alai's, tocobaga, maduro and invasion are new ticks. The rest include wants, and should be wants. Some of these in which ive never heard of that sound delicious. The girlfriend already called dibs on the ciders so she thanks you for that! Oh and for the record, thats 35 cans.. 420 ounces.

Next up. Small bottles..

New Funky Buddha stuff All wants. The others will all be new brewery ticks in which im seriously looking forward too. 14 more beers.. 168 more ounces.

Bigger stuff..

Is this real? 2 last snows!!! and a CCB Horizontal. Funny how i just asked Steve if he could get any good gourd as its my friends favorite beer. Little did i know... 242 more ounces

Finally.. the ones that just couldnt fit in any of the pictures above lol

Growlers are Mexican Standoff and Cafe Ole! The rest, new brewery ticks. about another 140 ounces.

Im speechless. Complete loss for words. The generosity here is just above and beyond and i cant say thank you enough. I need to go out and purchase another shelf for beer just from these alone! I tell you what these are going to make excellent tailgating beers for the upcoming pats games. And hopefully i can polish some of the biggers ones off at a friends wedding in a couple weeks.

There has to be something in the water down there in FL. That or they simply were never taught how to add. I understand the 177oz was the minimum. but 970oz!?!?!?! My mind has been completely blown.

Thanks again Steve, a million times over. I will be returning fire (piece by piece) starting soon!

I'm happy to crush that porch. Those are 2 different batches of Last Snow but I was drinking when I was packing so I couldn't tell you which was which. Just enjoy and I'll keep you posted on the Good Gourd now that I am back in town. Cheers

Delayed pron from the Guess the Number of Books on the Shelf LIF ran by @valrxman :

Thanks Steve!!! Just goes to show that there are still some sane Floridians that know how to send an appropriately sized box.

I probably wouldn't have said that if I were you. .

valrxman · Sep 14, 2015

I put it out there a while ago that I wanted to try some Funk Factory. @dmbforever contacted me and texted for a while. I sent him a modest Florida box. And Dave blew up my porch.

Funk Factory The Fox and the Grapes x3 plus #pgw
NG Cranbic x2
And because I asked for Belgian Red since I gave away my last one BOOM
Belgian Red x3
And that's not all

NG wild barrel
Wild bitter
Vintage 2014
And Dave is geographically challenged
Sour Opal
And Lost Rhino Exesus Sanctum

Plus an extra from Bella for my boys. She gave up the last of her favorite

Motts medley assorted fruits
Awesome funky fruity box
Thanks Dave (I owe you). BwahhhHaaahhHaaahh

Someone in Chicago has dug themselves a serious grave. I've threatened return fire for my BIF senders before, sorry @dmbforever and never done it. You, assuming you're my sender my have won the first. I haven't even taken the styrofoam off the 12 shipper yet and I see this:

Zoom in if you dare, I will never repeat the words on the inside of this box.

You'll be driving past my house on your way west but I'm unsure if I'll be free until after 7. I would hope that you're going to take the time to stop at Trillium (4 taps for growlers, 6 bottle options available... Unfortunately no pours at the brewery). You'll also be driving past Jack's Abby, and will be relatively close to Wormtown Brewery and world class beer bar Armsby Abbey in Worcester (4 HF taps right now).

Trillium and Armsby were two stops on my list today. Figure I'll head in to trillium right after I land and grab beer then start the trek west. Armsby for dinner
