The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

A buddy is about to get married in September, on tap will be his own brewed beer. He has never tried Heady and thought I can surprise him with a can.

Before going to trade boards, anybody here has access to Heady?

 

Don't have any Heady around right now, they ran out at the truck sale about 30 people in front of us.

 

Since your box is not even packed yet (sorry...I'm finished shopping just haven't had time to pack it up), I will keep a lookout, but frankly it's a longshot at best for me, so good luck!

 

Congratulations! Sorry I was away in L.A. for a few days.

 

A couple people will be receiving boxes today. Prepare for ****, and probably some prose.

 

The first LICC ME box has arrived. Pr0n to come later.

 

This gem from North Carolina landed on my doorstep today:



A RTP asked me about Wicked Weed which I didn't have any so I reached out to @treznor and he came through! I've actually not had 1-2 of these so only 2-3 will be moving forward. Thanks again @treznor!

 

This is what @mklisz sent me for his part of the LICC ME. I only knew about the Focal Banger. What a great surprise to find some Jack's Abby in the box. Looking forward to try the 603 as well.

My box to him is scheduled for Friday.

 

There were 4 focal bangers in that box. I'm just going to assume you're drinking the 4th right now!

 

Yes, I should have specified that there was a fourth Focal Banger. I just could not wait to try it. It is so good!
Thank you so much! I hope you'll enjoy your box as well.

 

Jacks Abby is the shit. Everything I've had from them has been gold

 

It will be my first ones, so I am quite excited about these.

 

Beer is a trading thing
And it makes my old porch sting
Bound by a drinking desire
I fell into a trading fire
I fell into a trading ring of fire
My porch went down down down as the box went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
My porch a pyre, my porch on fire
The taste of beer is sweet
The box, inside a treat
I opened the beer like a child
Oh, did I go hog wild
I fell in to a trading ring of fire
The beer will go down down down my belt gets tighter
The liver burns burns burns
My porch a pyre, my porch on fire
I fell in to a trading ring of fire
Cash goes down down down and the ABV climbs higher
My stomach turns turns turns
The trades go higher, trades go higher
I need to earn earn earn
So trades go higher, so trades go higher
Trades I desire, Trades I desire




A box came in the mail yesterday and my daughter asked if she could help daddy open it.

Beelzabub
Rapture
Focal Banger (my favorite)
Crusher
Jack Abby's Copper Legand
Jack Abby's Hoponious Union
Bourbon County Coffee Stout
Jack Abby's Cascadian Schwartzbeer
Bissel Substance
603 Brewery Mile
Lawson's glass

@mklisz generously offered to send me Focal Banger/Crusher/Rapture when I told him that Focal Banger was my favorite. The rest are just friendlies. I am extremely fired up to try everything here. I've only had the Hoponious Union (which is delicious) and the Focal Banger (which is my favorite).

Funny thing about the Lawson's glass. I original bought four of them when I was out there in June, I had a spot for them in the beer glass cupboard and like to have 4 glasses as a lot of my shares are 4 of us in the neighborhood/area. While visiting friends I decided to share one of the Lawson's glasses and was kicking myself for not buying 5. Now that empty spot is filled!

Thanks Mike! Steady that porch...

I'm sure I missed a couple good ones.

 

I have Focal coming in tomorrow and Maine this Tuesday, also secured Heady for my buddies wedding.

Makes me want to share a beer via mini BIF to make room. Hmmmm....maybe send a beer that rhymes with 'potential'.

 

Exponential???

 

Oooooooo I've been ISO Rotential! Or is it Gotential... that one isn't as good.

Glad you secured Heady, now I can call off the search For real though I'll be packing your box this weekend, and will get it out next week sometime. Since it's going coast to coast there's no real way to avoid a weekend in one warehouse or another, so (sadly) I'm not too concerned with which day I drop it off.

 

You can avoid it. I shipped a box from NH to wheelzntoys Monday morning and it's arriving in CA today.

 

Labor Day. Nevermind.

 

Sometimes it works out the way you want it to, but sometimes not; I had a box shipped to me on a Monday from the West Coast that took until the following Tuesday. So either it's unreliable at best, or perhaps travelling eastward takes longer than westward, something about the changes in time zone and a certain quantity of jiggawatts, I don't know.

yeah, that too.
