The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I thought I was the only one in that situation.

 

I know summer in Florida doesn't sound as appealing but I am planning an (dare I say) epic Birthday Bash. Details to come. Kids will be out of school and it will be a family friendly hotel with a beer bus. Hmmmm. Think about it boys

 

Where in Florida, and when?

 

VBS--My first Wicked Weed Sour... Need to cleanse the Abyss before opening another big boy...

 

I guess we're still going strong.

 

Here's the money shot:

 

That's pretty

 

Wow time to get caught up with all these awesome beers being drank with...

@UcDru lif beer! He easily more than double what I expected in quantity and quality, putting my lif to @Mikexw

The big guys!

Triumvirate - Aged in gin barrels? Im curious
Dreadnaught - Awesome!
Ink Imperial Stout - Sounds awesome
Abyss - very happy, didn't get a chance at one
Persimmon - Dammit... I will probably have to share this with my gf, haha
Ei8ht Ball - Love any aged in bourbon barrels



Rhinegeist Truth and Dad - New to me, happy to tick a beer or two
BCBS - No complaints here
Jackie O's Dark Apparition and Rum Barrel Oil of Aphrodite - Was secretly hoping I would get some Jackies i. This box, but wasn't expecting to. My asshole friends just drank these two beers without me, so they can suck it!



Christmas Bomb! Yes!
Bomb! - !
White Rajah - Yes!
FatHeads - Again, yes!
Psychopathy with proper glassware so of course...



VBS!

Thanks again for the amazing box, you killed it!

 

How was the Woods? I have a bottle that I haven't opened yet. It just sits around forever in Minneapolis.

 

VBS...

 

a little LIF love from @heystevec...

WTF! This is the box I get for guessing, incorrectly, the player's name from your jersey! Your a sick man... In the best kind of way..


Evolution No. 3 IPA--Never had but I'm always in for a new IPA
Flying Dog Bloodline--Blood Orange Pale Ale--Flying Dog hits around me, but I've never seen this one. Sounds awesome!
Terrapin Liquid Bliss--I LOVE peanut butter stouts... And I Love Terrapin!
Terrapin WnB Oatmeal Stout (x2)--Haven't tried this yet, but I can't wait to.
Hardywood GBS--Really? I mean really? HUGE want--I had a few hardywoods from a trade with @Dave_Treat and loved every one of them. I know I should waint until Christmas dinner, but it might go well with/as breakfast too, right?!
Bean Dream--Finally! I got one! after watching all of you jokers loving on this beer, I get to do the same!
Prairie Bomb!--Had my first a week or two ago and loved it! Maybe I'll share this one. Maybe...
DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus--Permawant! Had my first one care of @Dave_Treat too. It is impossible to have too much of this beer.
Double Duckpin--... !

With Crab chips to boot! My night just got AWESOME!

@heystevec, EPIC box! Especially for a wrong answer!

I'll be putting out an LIF to pay it forward soon. I am heading out for the holidays, but stay tuned before the new year...
(I'm going to have to start scavenging now to figure out how to put together a box that comes close...)

 

It's very good, I've had it twice now. Very peachy. It's not terribly complex, but still wonderful for the style.

 

OK then. Here are a few details. It will be in Ft Lauderdale. A hotel close to Funky Buddha. I have a few small breweries ready for us. South one day and north the next. Think Wakefield, Wynwood, Funky Buddha, Due South and some small but special breweries.

 

Well guys, that's it for tonight. Amazing Bourbon County share. Rare definitely lives up to the hype, and my favorites after that were 2014 Prop, Vanilla Rye and Bramble. Tune in next Saturday when I host my rare bottle share!

Cheers!

 

Note to self, move to Texas next week

 

Anyone's exgirlfriend will attest to the fact that losing the ability to type comes WAY after losing your "motor skills" aka "ability to (ahem) perform detailed tasks"

Did you switch pictures? The 2010 Vanilla was Bourbon, not Rye, barrels. Also, consider rehab. And by 'rehab' I mean drink some IPAs and other regular shit the next couple days.

 

When? Where in FL? I have a couple clients in FL that I could schedule meetings with depending on how everything shakes out.

edit: noticed you answered where, but not when..?

There are a handful of different The Woods, is the one you see Pechish? I have a few bottles of that series, but have never seen that one, and my love for peaches tells me it'd probably be my favorite of the bunch. Once I'm out of 'time out' I'll have to hit you up.

 

No, I meant the 2010 Vanilla didn't have as much vanilla flavor as Vanilla Rye.

I guess I'll drink some shelf beer for a bit

 

Got it, that makes sense. And here I thought you were being the drunk one....

I didn't say "shelf", just "non-walez" should cure you

Oh, and my VBS entry might not be as exciting as every fucking BCBS variant, but it's damn tasty. Reminds me a lot of Mexican Cake.

 

Great to hear, can't wait to open mine then! I have Lady of the Woods as opposed to Peschish Woods, so hope mine has no peach flavor at all
