The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I'm assuming you mean outside of this BIF group?

 

No, he's saying if you already got a box from someone, let him know so he doesn't assign you as their target again.

For example, in Round 1, my box came from @Poorpatz, who is participating in Round 3; no sense having me get a box from him twice when it'd be just as easy to give me @Kramerbarthomer, who has never sent me a box.

 

Correct -- I already know all the senders and recipients from all rounds of the Locals, and I know guys who were in Hastur's, for example, told me some of their other senders and targets. But I wanted to ask one more time after making everybody aware of all the participants. If you haven't been in any BIF's besides this one, I don't need any more info. And I honestly doubt if more than one or two of you have to give me the extra info.

 

That is what I thought you meant. I figured you had already consider the senders and recipients of the previous rounds in this BIF.

 

My bad then, I misinterpreted what you said.

 

No problem man.

 

Sixterhood Trip #2....

Dropped the Sixterhood box off at Fedex on my way home from work. The box should be delivered to the target on Wednesday. Box contains 5 stouts, 2 sours, and 1 gose. (since all were brewed in or near to Texas, it is not Westbrook!)

Also dropped off a box to @heystevec as a thank-you box for getting this started and to hold him over until the Sixterhood box makes it's long journey back to him. He should receive his box on Thursday.

 

Sorry -- I'm not sure if I was being clear. I just wanted to know guys who you have been either the BIFFer or BIFFee for who are in THIS round, but not the earlier rounds.

If you sent to someone in round 1 or 2, I already know about it
If the person is not in round 3, I don't care about it
So I only care about somebody who is in round 3 and was not in round 1 or 2 and who you were in a different BIF with.

I think I am making this more confusing than it needs to be. But that could be because I've started assigning targets and my brain is full.

 

All -- I just added @blackcloud to the conversation that included everyone except him, then locked it.

 

Really pumped that we've added AK to the state list. I spent a couple weeks in Alaska last year and ended up going to literally every brewery in the state except for the ones down around Juneau and the lower peninsula that are a pain in the ass to get to. Didn't really mean to do it at first, but we were hitting most of the breweries and then just decided to go for it

REALLY enjoyed 49th State (other than the mosquitoes since there's basically no inside seating) and its by far my most worn shirt as well as they have awesomely constructed shirts. Homer was also good (also with a good shirt, 'Put some stout in your snout') as was Silver Gulch in Fairbanks. And of course Midnight Sun. Was really surprised by the quality of beer in Alaska overall (though we did find a dud or two as well).

 

I've spent a little bit of time in AK too. Homer=yummy (I especially love that they fill old Sobee bottles for distribution--at least that was how it was being served at The Salty Dog). Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage has a few decent beers too. I wasn't so much a fan of midnight sun, but we did hit them after a long trip of visiting many other breweries. I still fondly remember sitting on the porch on a cool autumn day and drinking Talkeetna's IPA (can't recall the name) with a slice of olive and bacon Mountain High Pizza Pie. I'd go back in a second!

 

If he's your sender, you might be happy to know that he's in Juneau now.

 

How do Juneau where he is?

 

And actually I was in Alaska last summer, and agree -- I liked Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, as well as Alaskan Brewing, Midnight Sun, Denali, and Homer. I don't remember anything particularly unique or different about most of those, just that they all tasted real good.

 

You're right. It is Denali Brewing Co. in Talkeetna, not Talkeetna Brewing Co. I also imagine that the scenery has something to do with the experience...

 

Hello my friends. Hope everyone had a great summer, looking forward to the new bif.

 

Woah, we got a comedian over here! He's also in SWTFYW and he told us... hope he doesn't mind I let the cat out of the bag.

 

I mean all he had to do was Alask him.

 

Sixterhood trip #2....

One more hint that is pretty obscure and will probably help no one....

I was born and raised in the state directly to the west of the Sixterhood target's state. After I graduated from college I moved to the target's state and lived/worked there for 5.5 years. It is there that I met and married my wife. Her parent's and two siblings still live there and I visit this state at least once a year.

 

Oooo oooo I know! It's Hawaii, isn't it?
