The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I absolutely love them, and am curating a number of them personally; it's just tough to break them out...
SN Bigfoot going back to 2005 (missing '06 and '09 .... ISO by the way)
Fuller's Vintage Ale back to 2006 (missing '07)
Stone Vertical Epic from 2007-2012
Founders Imperial Stout to 2011
Weyerbacher Insanity to 2011 + 2004
5 different Great Divide Yeti's
And a bunch of things I've got 2 or 3 bottles put together ....and my bottle shop is holding for me Worldwide Stout going back to 2004 and 5 of the East End Gratitudes, if I ever win the lottery I'll buy those too

 

If I was near by I'd bring my '10.

 

Black Husky is literally about as nano as production breweries get. Here's a photo of the actual brewery:

They don't make a lot, but what they do make is sought after.

 

@Vinithing .... Do you even Crab Chip, bro?

 

I think it even needs more than 1 yr of cellaring just popped a 2013 recently and it was still kicking and screaming.

 

If you ever need any help consuming one of/all said flights, just give me a call dude. PA isn't too far away from IL right? Speaking of verticals and horizontals I can't wait for my PW's 9 bottle Abduction vert:
Abduction
Coffee Break Abduction
Raspberry Truffle Abduction
Orange Truffle Abduction
Cherry Truffle Abduction
Toasty Nut Abduction
Mint Abduction
Mocha Abduction
Passion Fruit Abduction

If anyone is around IL on November 8th...

 

Can you elaborate on 'kicking and screaming'? Hot alcohol?

 

See Sparkly Eyes and Sproose (Joose)...

 

I'm only missing Mint and Toasty nut. You have any extras? I want to do the same thing with my group!

 

Was pretty hot, still really bitter and quite pungent. Needs more time to mellow out and let the flavors blend in my opinion of course.

 

I do have an extra Toasty Nut if you're interested, but only 1 Mint. I have no clue if they are planning to brew it again or not. I can do some digging to see if I can come up with another Mint for ya.

 

Save me that Toasty! And please dig for some mint for me. And then let's put a trade together after the BIF!

 

Could this be anyone we know ... 9:22AM ... Hmmm breakfast BIF beers?!?

 

Done, I'll move that Toasty out of my rotation and into my trade box. I'll do my best on that Mint Truffle.

 

Well you perves, here is a little tease of what's to come...


But you're probably gonna have to wait until later tonight maybe tomorrow to sneak a peak behind the cardboard curtain as I'll be at FFF having drinks with a lady friend tonight.

 

I'm only missing all of them, got any extras?

 

Sixterhood box is in transit, being delivered tomorrow to:

Sixterhood Hint #1: Shipping northernly-ish
Sixterhood Hint #2: Your city is close to a professional sports team that is in the same league as the professional sports team in my city.
Sixterhood Hint #3: John Carradine
Sixterhood Hint #4: (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction

 

By the way guys, I just had a thought regarding swag boxes - if you're sending an extra box that is JUST swag, no beer, there is no reason at all not to use USPS. A flat rate box, or better yet envelope, is much cheaper than FedEx/UPS, and if there's no beer, there's nothing to worry about.

 

No worries chief. Didn't mean to scare you with the 400oz was just my math head throwing down an average number 80oz (6 bottles) *5 LIFs. I'm going nuts not being able to apply math to anything...

Don't forget your stout peeps in the stout BIF thread. Man I want to join that one bad, but my stout knowledge is seriously lacking.

I need an idea for my LIF. Shooting for early in November to keep this thread hopping after our local hauls.

 

I just got the notification that it was delivered now, and here you are with the boxes 30 minutes earlier haha. Open 'em up!

A note: In the sixer, there is another treat hidden in between the stryofoam where a square hole is. If you would like, it should pair well with a certain other beer...
