The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Content hint: A friend of mine is moving from Boston to CA. He's coming back to the area for a few days (he's originally from near me), and I'm going to be adding a wishlist beer to your box (hopefully) thanks to him

 

Are you short on bcbs? Hmmmmm.

 

#VBS.... so good

 

Content hint: You're getting fucking drunk on day 1.

 

Not to worry, we'll get Dat hand shake eventually. @jfstilling, I'm hitting wb one day for sure, any other recommendations. I'll buy a beer if you're in town...

 

*checks spreadsheet*

ok good I already have you crossed off as a non-sender

Also I may have mentioned this before but to my sender -- just a heads up if you send anything that will cause me to be completely miserable at work the following day, I'll still post the pr0n, but not drink it until the first available day after the 6 days that won't leave me feeling like crap for early work... unfortunately I work in a field right now (until I find a teaching job) that I just have 2 days off a week and they are usually random days each week (though I requested off for black friday for BC release)

 

Day 1 is Wednesday, so the hope is my target won't have to work on Thanksgiving. If so, I wouldn't have a problem with them changing it up like you say, though I believe they can persevere.

 

#VBS #Football #Champs



Who's drinking with me? Got football on!

 

Let me start out by saying I DIDN’T DIE! Woo-hoo! Sorry about being MIA but life handed me an opportunity I could not turn down and I have had to dedicate every waking moment to getting this up and going. Fret not! I have not for one moment forgotten my Locals brethren as I drink every beer I can out of my amazing glass and still I am hoarding, err acquiring, local releases for my triumphant return hopefully in late November to early December. I have been a complete jag though and not posted pics on a couple wonderful packages received from great BAs. So without more ado, to the pRon!

First, from the audacious @Tee2Grn in response to a little #GoPickItUpForMeBro this dude drops this bomb on my porch!



-Dark Horse BBA Plead The 5th Imp Stout (permawant and strangely enough just received some non BA the other day and now can do a side by side!)

-Saugatuck Brewing Neapolitan Milk Stout (never heard of but exactly the fun stuff I love to try!)

-Black Rocks Brewing – Nordskye Session IPA

-Black Rocks Brewing – Coconut Brown Ale (Never heard of Black Rocks but that just is what I love about this group and both these beers are right up my alley)

-New Holland Brewing Incorrigible White Sour Ale (New Holland is one of the breweries that brought me out of my lurking corner to start trading and I love trying stuff of theirs that I never have so this is a great one dude!)



-New Holland Dragon’s Milk BBS Reserve with Raspberries (when I saw this variant come out I was pretty sure I would never get the chance to try it but then it slips in below my radar so thank you so much for this mega-want of mine!)

-New Holland Dragon’s Milk BBS (Love me a side by side! I think I have the pepper variant floating around too!)

-Perrin Brewery No Rules Vietnamese Porter (another great Local! And a 99 BA score!)

-Shorts Brewing MMKA American India Style Pale Ale (haven’t had much from shorts so excited to try new stuff)



-Shorts Brewing Devil’s Lettuce – Dry Hopped India Style Pale Lager (See above)

-Oddside Ales I want my HTV Imperial Citra Pale Ale (you find me a Citra beer I don’t like and you win a medal, awesome!)

-Perrin Brewing Brown Ale aged in Oak Bourbon Barrels (Another haven’t heard but should have!)

Cheers dude and thanks again! Sorry for the douchery in being so late to post the pRon but this box will not go unanswered…

 

He's been missing lately. Hope he's doing ok..

 

Next, I sent @MCMASTERSANCHEZ a little box with a couple WO Jai Alai’s when he mentioned he liked them. Dude says “Hay, I have some Zombie Dust lying around that’s getting a little past it’s best of date, do you want it too?” I said no, but if you get some fresh send me a couple as I would love to try it! DUDE DROPS THIS ON ME TODAY… (not pictured, two addition ZD that are in the fridge)



The beauty… The horror





On top of that he threw in:



-2013 Narwhal (Yes Please!)

-Saint Arnold Divine Reserve 12 (another great sounding beer I haven’t tried)

-Almanac Beer Co Farmer’s Reserve Citrus (Holy cow this sounds great! Love me some sours!)

Thanks a million dude, that

 

Had a Narwhal earlier... might open another... but I'm watching hockey, not football lol

 

Long day at work. I have to figure out what the hell I'm gonna do.

 

Remember the date 10/29/15 just in case anything untoward ever happens to your porch in the future...

 

Once again, sorry for being a jag...

 

Everyplace I fill growlers will fill anything. So even if a brewery won't fill a specific style of growler (some say the long necked song tops "don't fit" under their taps and they can't get a good fill) I can find a beer bar or bottle shop that will fill it.

 

Wherever you want me to send my (lowly) portion of the Florida box, just let me know. I'm looking forward to my next Cycle trip.

P.S. If anyone needs a #pickitupformebro in the form of Cycle crowlers, I'm at your service.

 

No need to come in here and be all school girlish and apologetic. What you should be sorry for is the box thats gonna land on your porch in the near future. I can't send snow, but I'll be delivering the *gold*

 

I've not actually been to the brewery, but I will say that I've been very, very impressed with everything I've had from Revelry Brewing in Charleston. Also, Holy City seems to be stepping up their game. COAST is always good.

You must (it's an order) hit Edmunds Oast.

 

Hint: I could drive from my home to yours and not be entirely miserable either before or after the drive

(I guess that's somewhat subjective since my definition of a doable drive may be very different from many of those within this group, but oh well)
