So @lefty17 leaves town for Mexico and I become his errand boy. @jawas just sent this to my work for Adam as a way to say sorry for all of the issues that happened with FedEx. I figured being a good FIB that I am, would open the box and post ****.

Rob sent some awesome beers and a sweet Kane glass.
This is all that was in the box I swear...

Well, I guess there was this too.

Adam better get his ass home soon, I'm feeling a mighty thirst comin' on! Awesome box Rob.

Two #VBS for tonight

Good sour, but I don't get like... any peach. This is batch 1, dunno how batch 2 compares

This is actually quite tasty. I'm generally not a huge fan of the style, but I'm enjoying this quite a bit more than I expected. Thanks for this one @Devman171 !

THANK YOU! I wasn't the only one who thought the same thing! Don't get me wrong - tasted really good, but almost no fruit to speak of.

NickyPogs · Dec 17, 2015

Not wasting any time breaking in the new glass or beer from @UcDru
This is so damn delicious. Thank you my friend, your care package will be arriving in the near future.

Also, @NJB145 others have said it, and I will echo it, that was a damn awesome rhyme! #L4L

With all of the fighting going on here as to who is out of beer and who isn't, who shipped what, and blaming people for deleting check-ins, we need to take a step back and remember that this is the holiday season and should be filled with joy and giving.

I hope the following will help everyone get back into the holiday spirit and I apologize in advance to anyone left out and more so to those that I've included:

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the thread
Not a Local was posting, not even @edhizdeid;
The empties were scattered on the table without care,
Evidence of another epic bottle share;
@Clarkson was sprawled out on the bed;
While visions of Cinderella doing butt stuff danced in his head;
And @whyteboy003 in his jorts, and @PA-Michigander in his Packers onesie,
Had just blacked out on top of @rspauldi.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Which caused @jawas to unexpectedly empty his bladder.
Away to the window @NickyPogs crawled like a drunken lobster,
Tore open the shutters and threw up on @twofacedmonster.
The moon shone on the pale skin of @ninjembro,
Who was passed out, half naked, on the lawn below,
When what to @dwmetsfan13 bloodshot eyes did appear,
But a miniature rascal and a slew of Locals with packages of beer,
With a little old driver so eager to get to work,
@Devman171 knew that this man would no longer lurk.
More rapid than Fukin’ FedEx, the Locals they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, @Kramerbarthomer! now, @Tee2Grn! now @JasonR1975 and @UcDru!
On, @UTvols05! on, @Syracuse12! on, @Kylo76 and @core42 !”
And he continued to shout with a hint of glee:
“Forward, @JNForsyth, on, @ajaylock, now, @mbmiche and @PG2G!
To the porch! Destroy it at will!
Just like we did to @kgncfl !"
So up to the porch the Locals they ran
Almost crushing a passed out @valrxman-
And then, in a crunching, @Corriecrafts heard near the door
The stacking of boxes from ceiling to floor.
As @Mikexw made spreadsheets, to know which beer was where,
In through the door zoomed Saint @Mipper like a Christmas nightmare.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his feet,
And damn, he definitely looked older than @Dave_Treat;
Boxes of beer were stacked high in his rascal,
As he swerved to avoid @PassMeAZima urinating in the hall.
The bottles were many, who knew what he had in store,
Most likely trying to find a new tick for @treznor!
The beard on his chin was white and gruff,
But not nearly as impressive as the former beard of @devilfluff;
His nose was crooked with multiple scars across it,
Probably a result of playing rugby with @RuckIt;
He had a broad face and a little round torso
That shook like it was in a @LehighAce06 challenge video.
He was chubby and plump, and smelled like he just came from a bar,
Because he was returning from a date with the @mklisz avatar.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave @xICooRsYIx a feeling of dread;
He shotgunned a crowler without spilling a drop on his shirt,
And belched “That’s how you do it, @vitaminvert !”,
In his hand the empty crowler he did then crush,
Which caused @Littlelotte88 to blush;
He revved up his rascal, to the Locals gave a whistle,
And away they flew like a @HoppySeb overnight missile.
But @wheelzntoys heard him exclaim, as he cut through the night like a knife—
“Happy Christmas to all, and I’m proud to be a Local for Life!”

To answer your recent question--I don't really get much chance to sample local breweries while I'm in Indiana / Chi-town. Don't feel the need to track down anything limited on my account, fun local beers that you enjoy drinking sound perfect.

So LAST Tuesday I got an unexpected "your delivery is scheduled for tomorrow" fedex notification about a box coming from Virginia -- Scheduled delivery: Wed, 12/9/2015 by end of day. Then it disappeared for a while, and finally showed up yesterday after taking a detour through Indiana (?) -- at least one fellow local theorized that @Dave_Treat shipped this via pony express and so it only travelled north about 40 miles a day.

Anyway -- this is what arrived yesterday --

Hardywood Gingerbread Stout -- I had highlighted Hardywood as a brewery I wanted to hit at EBF this year, because last year I tried this beer and it was one of my absolute favorites. If this was the only beer in the box I would have been happy. This one will be shared with either my family or my neighbor (who is partial to Milk Stouts) -- I may even end up saving it for New Year's Eve. With a cool BA quote on the label!

Apocalype Aleworks Winter Snack Holiday Stout -- a new tick from a brewery I never heard of, and I usually enjoy Oatmeal stouts -- and this definitely qualifies as a Local beer.

Brothers Resolute BBA Russian Imperial Stout -- I also typically like RIS's, and I'm pretty sure this is the reason Dave sent me the box in the first place. I'm excited to try this one, but it might not be for a while.

Duclaw Obol "O?? Wine Style Ale" - I'm not sure if this is a Barleywine or a Strong Ale, and not sure if the word in the description is old, oat, or oak -- but either way another new tick and something that sounds pretty unique

Lickinghole Creek Virginia Black Bear -- another Russian Imperial Stout (I think I mentioned I like those) -- from a brewery that I've never tired before but that I've seen lots of you guys drinking, so I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks a ton @Dave_Treat -- I will reciprocate once I find a few things that you haven't had in the past and do some stalking/research. Awesome box (that I got downstairs and unpacked without anybody knowing!)

Enough of the inane and unknown. Love to send a huge thank you to @JNForsyth for hosting a few of us tonight. Opened some awesome beers and some very vintage beers that were fun to try. Dude is awesome.
