The locals keep on dropping bombs! Came home to a nice big box last night from @NickyPogs Grabbed a can of a local brewery that just started canning this week, Brix City '68 Ryot, to enjoy while opening up. Cannot thank you enough Nick! Killer box. As a hop head, it is exciting to see a box with no hops. Been really enjoying all the stouts I've been trying this year. Now I have a few more stouts, porters, sour and belgians to further push my tastes. All new ticks as well! Small bottles Dark Horse 2014 Bourbon Barrel aged Plead the 5th - Have not had any by this brewery and have seen them starting to pop up at a local bottle shop. Drago BB RIS - Have not heard of this and excited to try Bells Neptune - My first beer in the planet series Great Lakes Blackout Stout - Heard great things about this one Big bottles! Foothills Sexual Chocolate - Want tick...Cannot wait to try this one Hunter Coconut - Have not heard of this and sounds delicious. A friend has a vanilla variant so we will try side by side Pollyanna Orenda vol 2...Belgian style quadrupel ale aged in red wine barrels - Really pushing me to try new styles. Thanks! Revolution 4th year beer - Another belgian style quad but brewed with chamomile flowers. Interesting! Noon Whistle Face Smack - Have only had one or two sours and this berliner weiss/sour beer will help me on that journey Buckley Imperial Breakfast Stout - Have really been enjoying stouts with coffee, even though I don't drink coffee. This has maple syrup and vanilla...salivating already. Revolution Bean Gene - New tick Firestone 2015 Velvet Merkin - Received one of these recently from a LIF by @BartS . I already put that one in the fridge for the newbie Anny. Will cellar this one. Kill shot An awesome letter was include which not only states the Locals plan, but makes me even more thankful and proud to be part of the BA BIF community. Well done Locals!
CBP really are doing awesome things. Wish they weren't so far or I'd be out there more often! Nice box Patrick!

Cheers dude, I saw you were a big fan of hops, but living on the east coast already gives you a lot more access to better hops than I can send. Plus, I hardly ever send hops, I send what I like. Hope you approve.
Sounding like the Anny Activities are going to workout just fine. Again, feel free to add if needed. Tomorrow: 11am - Morning Toast, maybe a breakfast stout or something 4:20pm - Hop toast 7pm - Locals toast 8pm - 1st Anniversary Toast - drink your best beer, favorite, a beer you received from the first round you participated in, or WYW Sunday: 6pm - No Rules Solo Dome (30min time limit)
Jose Maestro sent me some new ticks from the west coast. The Locals have struck again. I thought I was able to avoid them!
I'm in for this as best as I can make due. I'm currently in Puerto Rico so I'm gonna try and hit up a beer store around here and hope that I can find something to drink!!
N Need to add a time to burn that beer you've been avoiding in the fridge since its your (personally) least attractive option every time.
Try craft beer distributors, they're in San Juan also, bunch of easy gettin stateside craft. Calle B is the address (had to google it)
so I got a ridiculous box yesterday from @kayakandbeer for the newbie anniversary here's the run down: JDubs's- poolside and bell cow Brew Hub- Keybilly Motorworks- rollcage and v twin Fat Point- Big boca Central 28- Up river MIA- mega mix and tourist trappe Bold City- Duke's cold nose Tampa Bay- reef donkey, true blonde, and full moon madness 2 Henrys- blueberry vanilla wheat Coppertail- Night swim, independent, wheat stroke and a crowler of hoppuccino Green Bench- dancing chickens Saint Somewhere- Serge and Caitlin Electric boots crowler Funky Buddha- sticky treats and blueberry cobbler Cigar City- Zhukov, caffe americano, cubano espresso, tampa lager, oderus, seasonal sneak and florida cracker Darwin- Citrus Exchange I think that's all the beers. there was also a sticker, some coasters, a hat, a shirt and some soaps made from some cigar city beers. Awesome box!
Box said it was from Pickles marinades. Locals porch bomb full of wants and awesome beers. Thanks @core42 and all the locals involved! Very much appreciated, I will enjoy some of these this weekend. You guys are awesome.
Cheers! You'll want to get on that Juice is Loose because there have been some reports of poor seals on the seam. I
Sounds good. Just saw this for some reason. I'll crack open the anniversary bottle @rspauldi sent me. I assume were all using the newbie glass too!
Hope you enjoy. Stayed away from the IPA's since those are you least fav. Some of those Pales are pretty hoppy, so heads up on those. Cheers and enjoy!
FYI, I'm showing 3 boxes as delivered, my LIF and 2 ninja boxes, so check your porches. The LIF went to Illinois.
Locals box dropped today, Bryan from Texas Thanks @twofacedmonster Sex in a Canoe Strawberry Milkshake Pineal Commisar BA Sasquatch Mole Temptress Melange 10 Snorkel Deth's Tar Geriatric Hipster Club Petite Golden Sour Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter Farmer's Reserve Strawberry All new to me and excited to try these! This is a nice surprise and awesome of the locals to pull off. Lots of good beers to try... looking forward to Deths Tar, Strawberry Milkshake, Snorkel, melange 10, Almanac, BBH to start. Need to read up on the rest. It looks like at least 1 bottle didn't make it and the box may have been repacked along the way since it was a little soggy with a few small pieces of broken glass. No biggie, since I wasn't expecting a box of beer anyways! Cheers and thanks again @twofacedmonster !
