The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Done by 3:30pm. Pretty awesome tasting. @phuntasy @emottram @bostonbeans @TWStandley

 

Grateful to be in this group. I've watched for a while, and just couldn't not join. I'm sure we'll get the chance to send some goodness each others way, I'm always game!

 

I hate this @mklisz guy.. I drink in private with my mom in my basement.. Please no pictures

 

Hell of a lineup! That's some good work for 5 people to be finished by 3:30pm... Looks like you guys had a great day!

 

The 'project youth days' of Arsene Wenger were coming to a close. Cesc, RvP, Nasri, Arshavin, and Walcott we seemingly the best attack in the EPL. Aaron was 18 and had broken into that line up. He was a hot prospect. I bought the shirt and said 'He will either be playing for Madrid in 10 years or on the bench for Ipswich Town'

Needless to say it was worn in May when he hit 'that outside foot shot'

 

Batch #400 at Haymarket. Really good

 

Yes. Nice goal. If he were more consistent, Arsenal fans would be much happier.
Nice win today, BTW.

 

He needs to stay healthy to be more consistent. Same for about 70% of the squad

 

Also... had my first russian river sour last night (of the four @jdhowe send me a while back), and it was fantastic! Of the four I have, it's the lowest rated on here, so I'm worried about how much I'll enjoy the other three

 

Ugh, just experienced the craziness that is craft beer nowadays. Went to the release of '14 Bourbon Barrel Temptress (draft only because except for a few places, breweries can't sell bottles, that's another long TX beer rant). Stood in a line with 400 of my closest friends and their glassware mules. The guy behind me wouldn't STFU since he is a know it all. The two people who are front of me get the last of the special release glassware, then it's asshole to elbow in the place. Not even fun. End Rant. The beer was amazing though.

I told my buddy that we are not doing that anymore. I'm much happier drinking the beer that y'all can get easily at your local bottle shops. So much easier. But I'm just a lazy grumpy man with a hangover today. So cheers!

 

Yeah, wait til you have consecration

 

I'm glad the para's seemed well received.

 

I think there are some people in here that can appreciate what I'm currently drinking:

 

And I feel bad I forgot to tag @Bjorn2bWild , as he has the sender of the above beer and #properglassware for the Birthday BIF. It's awesome, thanks again Chad.

 

6er Hint #3: The football team of my target's state is in the same division as my football team of choice (which is not in my state)

Done as much shopping as I can for now. Waiting on the release of a Espresso RIS (BA Score > 95) and an Anniversary DIPA (last years was BA Score 94) before I can send the box out.

 

So Going on 36 hours with only minimal sleep, but had a great time at 4 ELF with @Ncpogs



That is what he greeted me with. That is a case of Root Beer for my daughter. Holy crap! I will be digging in soon. Thanks Nick!



The full 4-elf day haul. Which brings me to...

 

I've been sitting on a LIF that I've owed for a while now so here it goes.

Answer ALL of these questions correctly and win some delicious goodness, including at least one bottle from the picture above. Here are the rules:

1. The winner is the FIRST to get ALL of the answers correct.
2. You may guess once at a time, getting a new guess everytime I post about the LIF (with a new hint or two)
3. This will keep building as you as a team get more of the answers correct.

Here are the questions to answer:

1. How many kids do I have?
2. Age of the kids?
3. Names of the kids?
4. How many pets do I have?
5. Species of the pets?
6, Names of the pets?


You must answer all of the questions, after I get a few responses (or whenever I feel like it really) I will post about the LIF, tell you how you are doing, and drop a hint which will get you closer to the finish. Again the winner is the person that gets EVERY answer right.

First hint is that while I don't play zone defense with regards to my kids I would have to play zone with my pets.

Ready? Go!

 

Which four? I can't remember your old avatar that well

I was about to say it probably was consecration, then I looked and found that by like 0.03 rAvg points, that one is the 3rd highest rated RR sour

 

Consecration, Temptation, and Supplication left

 

Nice LIF! 2 kids, 13 and 9, Kayley and Michael. 4 pets; 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rabbit; Rudy, Cinnamon, Pepper, and Thumper
