The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

MCMASTERSANCHEZ · Mar 8, 2017

Whoa thanks @sj3324 this might be my new favorite barleywine. So much toffee flavor and just the right hint of nuts....almonds, pecans? And just enough barrel also where you can tell it was barrel aged but still taste the rest of the beer.

Bravo good sir bravo

NBO - Locals Round 12

Because I love rounds which encourage drinking and discourage hoarding, I am pleased to announce the NBO for Locals Round #12.

Round #12 is open to all Locals and Lurkers in good standing, as well as anyone interested in seeing what The Locals are all about. New participants may be screened prior to acceptance into the round.

The hard and fast rules don’t include anything crazy - in fact you might recognize most of them from previous rounds;

You will be assigned a target.

You will ship your target 6 wrapped beers for blind consumption. Multiple small beers on a given day are acceptable.

You may include a maximum of 6 extra beers (wrapped or unwrapped) for consumption at any time. Extras are not required, but who am I kidding…

You must include 1 piece of matching swag for one of your 6 wrapped beers (PGW, Brewery shirt, bottle opener, etc…)

Your target must consume the wrapped beers as specified by you on April 7th, 8th, 9th and 14th, 15th, 16th. Include the date of consumption on the wrapping paper, or at least “Day 1”, “Day 2”, etc…

And because it wouldn’t be a Locals round without a bit of a twist, here are some suggested guidelines to follow for each wrapped bottle. These are not hard rules, merely suggestions - participation is encouraged but by no means required for these - feel free to follow some or all as you see fit;

April 7th - National Beer Day; Honor your target with a beer worthy of the repeal of prohibition.

April 8th - National Zoo Lovers Day; Send your target with a beer which includes an animal in the name or label artwork. Also acceptable - a beer from brewery with an animal in the name/logo, or animal included somewhere in the swag.

April 9th - National Cherish an Antique Day; No, this day isn’t about appreciating @Mipper, @Dave_Treat, and @smanson56. Wrap up an old beer and let your target enjoy it! “Old” is subjective, and may include any beer that you’ve been holding onto but isn’t necessarily “vintage”.

April 14th - National Pecan Day; While there’s not overly common to find pecans in a beer, other adjuncts are used all the time. Give your target a beer with adjuncts - bonus points for nuts… Pecans, peanuts, hazelnuts, coconuts… but any adjunct is acceptable. This is also Good Friday - so make it something good!

April 15th - National Tax Day; Many Americans will need to drown their sorrows after sending Uncle Sam a big ‘ol tax check. Send your target a big imperial stout. Imperial Russian Stout (IRS, lol) or otherwise.

April 16th - Easter / National Healthcare Decisions Day; Help your target celebrate escaping from behind a big rock, -or- Make some important healthcare decisions for them. Either an “easy” beer to make a good healthcare decision / light celebration, -or- a “big” beer as a poor healthcare decision / big celebration.

Summary:
Day 1 (April 7th): Beer worthy the repeal of prohibition.
Day 2 (April 8th): Beer (or brewery) with an animal in the name or logo.
Day 3 (April 9th): Vintage or cellared beer.
Day 4 (April 14th): Beer with adjuncts.
Day 5 (April 15th): Imperial Stout.
Day 6 (April 16th): Dealer’s Choice - “Easy” low ABV beer, or “Big” high ABV beer.

Details:

Sign-ups will run through Friday, March 10th.

Targets will go out by Monday, March 13th.

Boxes must be shipped & received by Thursday, April 6th (3.5 weeks from target assignments).

BM me by next Monday (3/13) to enter. BM title should be “Locals Round 12”.

Include any style or adjunct likes / dislikes. Specifically nuts (see April 14th).

If you have a specific target request, please include it and I’ll accommodate as many as I can.

Cheers!

@RuckIt is the signup deadline the 10th or 13th? I need to check my cellar and am away on vacation right now. I feel like I should sign up just because of all the effort you put into your post!
