The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Can I like this twice? #jelly

 

100% agree with this statement. @HoppySeb crushed my porch once before and I'm eagerly anticipating his box in our next trade!

 

Yup, also quite jealous here. Badass!

 

5 day old baby can't hold me down...

 

According to the weatherman, that should be landing before thanksgiving
Unfortunately, I don't think you will necessarily enjoy all of the contents in that box.

 

Liquid diet for baby and daddy....only fair! Just be careful going bottle for bottle with the young one

 

well now I'm really intrigued!

 

Challenge accepted!

 

2 boxes on FedEx vehicle for delivery today.

 

Wow -- I have way too many posts from this and the 12 days of xmas thread to catch up on today... but gotta post what @Clarkson sent me yesterday --


Ballast Point Victory at Sea- HUGE WANT!
New Belgium Le Terroir x 2- one of these is for my 12 days of xmas target
Clown Shoes Ride The Lion- I get Clown Shoes distro, but haven't seen this one around here
Buffalo Bayou Red Velvet- local stout I'm looking forward to since I can't always handle 12% bombers like some of you
Dogfish Head Miles Davis Bitches Brew - looking forwards to this

plus



Wasatch Black O'Lantern - seems like a good dessert beer, even if it makes me thing of a comic book villain
Lakewood Punkel Pumpkin Pie Spiced Dunkel - I get to say "Punkel Dunkel"!
Boulevard Grainstorm Black Rye IPA - WANT
Deschutes The Abyss (2013) - WANT
Boulevard Rye-on-Rye - WANT
Community Legion Russian Imperial Stout- this was one of my "surprise" extras and sounds awesome
Deep Ellum Oak Cliff Coffee Ale- I've heard a lot about Deep Ellum, and love coffee, so I'm psyched about this one
Lalkewood Pint Glass- #glassware

This all started with @Clarkson offering to swap me some Texas beers I wanted for the other BIF for some Maine Lunch, when I realized my local store had the biggest choice of fresh MBC stuff I've ever seen there it grew into this. And while about 1/3 of the stuff from both sides was extras, we had agreed on ballpark total $ amount, by pure coincidence I sent 255 ounces with a weighted BA score of 93%, he sent me 251 ounces (plus the glass), also with a 93%. This is the second or third trade I've made where I felt like I got too much in return for what I sent, and everytime it's been about as even as possible. This locals stuff seems to work well...

 

I want in too! Did you say FBS for breakfast?

 

I told you I had a lot of catching up to do -- if it's not too late, I will go with Packers winning by 7 and Rodgers throwing for 285 yards.

 

@kgncfl where have you been on the VBS? New job got you busy? Hopefully now that you are no longer at Victoria Secret you stopped dressing like this:

 

There are some things you just can't unsee... I need a beer now.

 

Totally agree think of how do you think I felt when he invited me to a bottle share and that was his getup.

 

Those 4 oz's that you outdid me on will wreak havoc on your porch at later date.

Hope you enjoy. The only thing I was pissed about last night is that it was 70 degrees here and Lunch was not cold when I opened the box. End of the workday is a long way away.

 

What did you think about that one? We were having a discussion in the Southwest forum on great locals IPA's.

 

New avatar?

 

Don't worry about the the photo, it was an impressive box to me. What's funny is that I saw your post earlier about accidentally sending two Moo Hoo to Mike, if he would have shipped a day later he could have just put in the box he was sending me. No worries though.

We get a decent amount of Germans here, but Andechs is not one of them. If my German place has them: http://www.bavariangrill.com/menus/the-taste-of-bavaria/bier-beer , I've had them dozens of times already, but always looking for out of distro Germans.

Thanks again for a great box.

 

Won't be able to make it home at lunch time if it gets delivered this morning. Pron will have to wait until tonight.
