The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Is it bad that when you said "at the brewery at Hershey" I thought it was some kind of bathroom-related euphemism?

 

"Wish you were all beer": actually works (in a weird way)

 

It works in all the right ways

 

So this is sort of off topic, but I am reading the latest John Grisham book -- and at one point the main characters (who are in Virginia) are in a small plane and end up in Kentucky, and I honestly thought "oh yeah, those two states share a border - that's why @Dave_Treat can't get @PassMeAZima or @edhizdeid as a target"

 

Come on now, I'm not opposed to sharing state lines and still being targets with bad ass BA like them...

 

likewise sir

 

They always have food trucks there. Keep us posted when you are passing thru the Vero Beach/Melbourne area. Due South Brewery is your best stop near and on the way to Funky Buddha.

 

Agreed, given that I have access to neither NEBCO nor Carton and those border me. But I was speaking from the perspective of an anal-retentive BIF organizer.

 

You guys will like the BIF that I'm planning for sometime after my wallet recuperates from Stouts IV.

 

It's ok because it's awesome and I'm getting more

 

If I had to guess I would be coming through Melbourne about 6ish? I do believe you have sent me some tasty stuff from Due South previously

 

Fair enough, I certainly don't begrudge you having more than I sent, it was just weird that it was the same recipient, in such close proximity, and then that it happened twice

 

So @PG2G said something about Sucaba a while back and I convinced him to pick some up for me... Evidently he went all out on Barleywines (almost certainly my favorite style!).


Bruery Mash & Grind - Never heard of it (though a friend of mine I asked about it tonight had). Sounds great! Never really heard of a coffee barleywine, and can't wait to try it!
FW Sucaba - The beer that started the trade to start with.
Firestone Walker Maltose Falcons - Brownywine? Another one that I've never heard of and sounds ridiculously good!
Firestone Walker / Three Floyds Ol' Leghorn - Okay, I know I don't get FW anywhere near here, but this is getting crazy with the number of beers in this box that I haven't heard of and sounds awesome!
Beachwood Melrose - A 'palate cleanser' of an IPA for this box.

Thanks @PG2G!

 

So, I have 6 boxes all boxed up earlier today and ready to go and what happens? Of course, my printer breaks and won't print black ink (which, you know, is important for shipping labels...). Thankfully I was able to print them at the local beer store while visiting with friends tonight Sooo... boxes should be going out tomorrow! This includes 3 people from this thread that know they're getting boxes, 2 people that don't know (though one probably does by now), and 1 box to a sports BIF. Happy beering!

 

Enjoy, the Maltose Falcon one is one of my favorites. It is a collab with a local homebrewing club from what I remember. It actually does taste like brownies lol. Both that one and the Three floyds were brewery only so most people probably wouldn't know them.

 

WOW

 

Yep, that's pretty much what I said as I was pulling bottles out I do hope that the box that @PG2G gets back measures up!

 

I've heard of that bottle, it's not just "a local homebrewing club" it's the FIRST homebrewing club, it was brewed for their 40th anniversary. Very jealous.

 

Lol, oops
