The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Step 1- gather pocket lint
Step 2- smear some peanut butter on your upper lip, not too much though!!
Step 3- put pocket lint (belly button lint would work too) on said peanut butter
Step 4- look in mirror
Step 5- never go out in public......and I mean NEVER

Glad I could save you some gas money


Lurks back out........

 

I almost just spit out a mouthful of omega point all over my keyboard/monitor....

 

Dave DO NOT send me a Backyard, enjoy it man, you don't drink enough!

I was going to vouch for Seth but Jeremy already did and besides...

Wow right out of the gates. I'll have craft deviant rob send you your first box. You'll love it!

 

Amazing generosity @dwmetsfan13!

@RuckIt your box is literally the box that keeps on giving. I have it sitting on a chair in my living room. Just this morning I took a closer look at it. Wow, can't believe I missed it and you didn't say anything. Some nice artwork:



If you look really close at the phone in the second picture you'll see this:

 

I don't know what that means, but I didn't get active to get boxes.

 

Craft deviant rob was the OP of the Locals. Also the first guy to blow off sending to his target...

 

It's part of the group's history contained in about the first 250 pages of the thread. Basically, our founder squelched on shipping his box for the first round, finally shipped a mediocre box to his first round target during the second round, and hasn't been seen since. @Mikexw did some in-person enforcement work to facilitate said box.

 

Ah, that makes sense!

 

You guys are awesome.

 

You know that feeling when you do a blind trade and receive a box that's so awesome that you have no idea that you'll put together a proper response? That's me right now... A few weeks ago I saw @Kramerbarthomer in the viper pit looking for a Veritas 016. I hit him up, we decided to expand things a bit, and he hits me with this thing of beauty...



(Sorry for the bad image quality, family in town and trying to hide the beer obsession lol)

Casey The Cut: Apricot - Most of you are aware of my love for stone fruit sours, so this one is just mind blowing.
Casey The Cut: Peach - Same as above, when he mentioned the recently Casey release I kinda expected to see one of these in the box... sure as hell didn't expect both. SUPER surprised
Casey The Fruit Stand: Peach - Also extremely unexpected, looks like the makings of an amazing side-by-side
Casey Family Preserves: Plum - This one I knew was coming, heard great things and love that I'll get to see how the various series differ
Casey The Fruit Stand: Plum - Again, this one will make for an amazing side-by-side.
Side Project Saison de Ble - @Kramerbarthomer knew of my issues of trading for Side Project from some PMs we had had. What does he do? Toss an awesome one in the box.
Crooked Stave Nightmare on Brett - I've had this one before and was super impressed, glad to have another that I might share
Oskar Blues BA Ten Fidy - Had a sip while waiting over night for the BCBS release. One of my friends put me on to Ten Fidy a few years back when I was just getting into beer, going to be awesome to open this with him
Jester King Bier de Miel - A new tick for me and you can never go wrong with Jester King!
Odd13 Codename Superfan - Have been seeing this one make the rounds, always down to try a new quality IPA

Amazing box overall, kind of crazy that before today I had never had a fruited Casey beer and now I'm sitting on a collection of some of the best. Planning to open a large part of this by the end of the year, no.more.saving.beer.

Still working on your box, but consider your porch (Royale)y f**ed

 

@PA-Michigander and @Mipper ... either of you guys been to zeroday? I saw they recently did their first bottle release... the style combined with the price has turned me off, but wondering if you guys have tried any of their stuff (I still haven't yet)... $20 for a BBA Holiday Ale from a newer brewery seems a little iffy to me. Apparently they still had some as of yesterday though, can't imagine it's flying

 

I halve not been but I've heard their beers are subpar at least upon their first opening. That new BA Winter Warmer has a lot of really good reviews on Untappd though I'm not certain all reviews of it haven't been friends/family. I don't care for the style but have thought about picking one up for science sake.

 

Exactly what I've heard and also thought of the beer... only thing that's really stopped me from getting it is that $20 price tag. For $5 more I could have gotten PB Kriek which I'd much rather have.

EDIT though on second thought if done well I feel like a BA winter warmer could actually be quite tasty

 

VCS thanks @RuckIt i wish I could drink this everyday!

 

VBS: this has to be one of the most underrated beers ever, love it! Thanks @mbmiche

 

Wife's being grumpy so I'm gettin drunk! Once again thanks @mbmiche

 

Awww, we are drinking the same beer from the same person. I've never felt closer Kyle!

 

Let me know if you want more. I had one set aside to send to you since you mentioned it at some point, just never got around to sending!

 

Not completely sure what you're talking about, but if you're handing out kudos, thank you? Anyone remember Kudos granola chocolate bars? Those were good.

 

After finishing the bottle (just 20 min ago or so) I will say I will absolutely not turn down another bottle+ of that beer. Was absolutely fantastic. Although for sure any bottles of it I ever see again are being shared. Soloing one bottle is plenty -- this beer deserves having more people try it. If there's anyone else out there who has not had it that would rather receive a bottle of it, if you truly do have it set aside, throw it in a box to them instead!
