The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

It’s advanced level anyways

 

TLR Send me a list of 1-3 good beers you want to mail out

 

So, these are supposed to be good beers, not turds? I will send you a list when I get home tomorrow. I have a cellar list on my computer, but I also have some beers I was gonna send out / trade not on the spreadsheet. This sounds like fun!

 

turds not encouraged.. Narwhal is a type of whale

 

'12 vintage :eggplant: confirmed

 

Just got used to posting here again.


Thanks @tommyguz

 

More local on local action

Thanks @mervmurry

 

I was so mesmerized by the impeccable penmanship that I barely noticed the haul...

 

NTP box to be posted tonight or tomorrow

 

Damn Locals



Thanks @sj3324

 

list is shaping up nicely.. going to post in the next couple weeks

 

My summer sixer target @KyleDavis had warned me that he was a beer-it-backwards kind of guy. Even though I let him know there was no need, he hit me with a porch bomb anyway:



These have to be the most professional looking home-brews I have ever seen. Definitely looking forward to cracking these and seeing how the Davis brothers get down. Thanks for the awesome generosity @KyleDavis! I will report back once I kill a few of these in the next couple days.

 

Its time! Its time! ITS VADER TIME!

This one might be tough but lets give it a shot before I change it. 5 or more to run or ill change the brewery.

The Locals “New Ticks” Parallel (NTP) Box


Every area of the country has a brewery that gets a ton of well-deserved hype, but doesn’t distribute out of state – or distributeat all, in some cases. There are also breweries that are putting out delicious brews that get little to no hype, but locals swear by their beer. This box will include beers from both types of breweries, hence “Parallel” – two horizontals, if you will.


Now, here’s the real twist – Among other criteria (listed below), the only way you are eligible to receive this box is if you’ve had 5 or fewer beers from the “Main Brewery” listed below in the last 2 years. If you’ve had more than 5, but they were all sample pours of an ounce or two, it is at the discretion of the sender if you qualify. This is the “New Ticks” portion of the box, the idea being to spread the love and get great beer into the hands of people who haven’t been lucky enough to try anything from a great brewery.


Origin - Indiana

Main Brewery: 18th Street


What’s in the Box?!??!

The NTP box is intentionally reasonably sized (6-10 beers max), and will include 4 parts:


1. Several offerings from the “Main Brewery”.


2. A couple offerings from an unannounced “Unheralded Local Brewery”.


3. Swag from at least one, if not both breweries.


4. A “Take a beer, Leave a beer” Box.


The “Take a beer, Leave a beer” box:

This box will include 3 cellarable beers, and is like that penny tray at your local gas station. As the NTP box arrives with each new recipient, they will have the option to take 1 (and only 1) beer to drink or cellar for future consumption – absolutely no trading or forwarding, however much you mightwant to. If the recipient takes a beer from this box, they must replace it with something worthy of the traveling box. These beers don't need to be local, just awesome.


Rules / How it Works:


◦ This traveling box is open to all Locals, as well as certified lurkers who have successfully participated in other major BIF rounds here on Beer Advocate. Recipient must not have received the NTP box previously.

◦ Sender announces their “Main Brewery” and sign ups remain open for a specified length of time. This brewery must not distribute out of state, and must be worthy of being the focus of the traveling box.

◦ Interested participants who meet the criteria (Be honest. No deleting UnTappd check-ins!) must message the sender, and once sign-ups have ended the sender selects a target at random.

◦ Sender will keep the “winning” participant secret, and ship within a reasonable amount of time. BIF-style hints encouraged.

◦ Once the box lands, the Recipient now becomes the next sender. They should add a local sticker/label/etc… to the inside of the box and reopen sign-ups for the next round when ready (3-4 weeks max).

◦

◦ If at any time there are no interested sign-ups, or the exterior box is on its last legs, the current sender will ship back to the originator of the box (@RuckIt).

Sign up!

BM me with "NTP Box" in the title. Include your shipping address, shirt size, swag preference, and what (if anything) you've had from the "Main Brewery". If there are any "do-not-ship" dates, include that info too! I will evaluate this down Monday 7/23/18 and change brewery if 5 or more are unable to sign up.


Cheers Locals #L4L

 

So, if we have had over 5 beers from 18th Street recently, we have to wait until the next sender posts their brewery before messaging. Is that right? I would like to participate, but this BIF is new to me...

 

Also of note, I recently got some Hunter and Vanilla Hunter. Just drank the vanilla last week (tasty as usual) and gonna down the regular here soon :-)

 

Yes. If you had 5 or more in the last two years. I know it's still new so who knows who has seen it so far but no responses of yet. I would guess I'm gonna have to change the brewery.

 

Somebody's missing out -- I've had more than 5 (mostly from you), but 18th Street makes amazing stuff...

 

Was just thinking how I haven't sentyou any 18th street in a while lol

 

Get creative here, can include mead, bourbon, samples, beer paraphernalia... Also forwarding IS allowed..
