The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

My shop has it. Sierra Nevada also posted that their NC brewery has BA Bigfoot as well as vertical six packs (6 years, one bottle per year). Was tempted to go over and pick some up. Just had 2003 Bigfoot, which was very good but not as good as the 2003 Lagunitas Gnarlywine that we had at the same time.

 

Nice. Original Gravity does have bottles but in the back. there is another bar in the back area and they have like 7-12 taps and they are all different from the front. Also the bottles are all in the fridge back there.
Right accross the street from OG is a place called Good Karma. I REALLY REALLY REALLY recommend that place if you can get over there again. Will be worth your time. they have Sante Adairius beers on tap almost regularly, as well as Russian River and Alpine. The burritos are fucking incredible (the whole menu is actually) and the guys there are awesome. Are you mobile at all? would you be willing to come meet up and have a bottle share?

 

The back bar at OG was closed down tonight when I was there. Seating was open, but the bar itself was closed. I'll try and hit Good Karma tomorrow night, we'll see how that goes. Unfortunately not really mobile (no car) and have zero free time (basically have my day scheduled from 7am to 8pm every day I'm here and fly out immediately after I'm done on Friday). I love conferences, but I feel like I need a vacation after I attend one...

 

well are you sure it was closed down? because sometimes they just don't have anybody working back there but you can still order stuff from there at the front if there isnt a bartender at the back bar.
Good Karma is amazing. also, check out San Pedro Square Market a block up from there.. plenty of food and drinks.
here's a link: http://www.sanpedrosquaremarket.com/
There's a decent bottle shop in the back with a bunch of different choices

 

Was definitely closed down in that no one was around. No idea if they could have poured from it or not. Really doubt I would have ordered anything different though (Hop Concept Dank & Sticky and Almanac Cognac Barrel Noir). San Pedro Market is the first place I went. Some good choices, but waaaay overpriced. $40 for FW18, $24 for Lost Abbey Track 10 when ISOBeers had it for $17. Pretty much everything I saw that I had an idea of the price was 50% higher than I'm used to. Did have some decent drafts.

Hint #2: As of right now, my target has not posted two hints

 

Hint Número Uno---Shipping North
Hint #2---My target likes beer

@ninjembro What about now?

 

Still hasn't posted 2 hints

 

I live by the Rolling Stones motto "You can't always get what you want, but if you BIF sometimes, you just might receive an unknown beer that tastes really good".

Hint #2: I have multiple wants from my target's state.

 

Hint #1: I'd bet everybody in the group has had a beer from my target's state

 

Hint #1 - I've been to my targets state a lot, but it's been years since my last visit.

To my sender: I shouldn't be too hard to please, my "wants" are numerous and up to date as well as my "hads" and "gots." I'm working on a small glassware collection so that's always a welcome addition to a box for me (I have a bajillion pint glasses though) and my oldest son likes trying root beer from all over the country so if you have some good stuff made locally that would be welcome as well. Basically I like beer and I'm not hard to please.

 

Hint #1: The name of my target's state is longer (more letters) than the name of my state
Hint #2: My target posts less frequently than @LehighAce06

To my sender: my profile discusses my likes and dislikes. My want list did not exist before The Locals (the first post in this thread was on May 21, 2014; my first want was identified on May 22nd, 2014) and started with whales (although I didn't even know what those were at the time). Since then, I typically try to narrow down my sender and then add wants from his geographic area, so I might add something from your area in a few weeks -- but in all honesty, if my sender is from East Pennsyltuckysota, he probably had a better idea of what's good than I can find by research, so if I get yummy locals that I have never heard of I'm perfectly happy.

And I guess I'm a ticker -- I like trying new things -- and both my BA and untappd are pretty much up to date (once I catch up on last night) regarding what I have had in the past.

 

A few changes from my earlier guess...

1 - North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Arkansas, Nebraska, Delaware, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho
2 - Molson Brador
3 - Heineken
4 - Corona
5 - Foothills

 

Hint #1 I think this will always be my first hint, I am shopping in a westerly direction.

 

Going off what @Mikexw said I suppose I'm a bit of a ticker now.... I was ticking here but when I started using Untappd again I stopped ticking here so my ticks are spread between the two

 

1) ID, MT, AZ, NM, RI, UT, WY, WA, OR
2) LaBatt Blue
3) Corona
4) Red Stripe
5) Wicked Weed

 

I'm much like others on here as my wants is not exhaustive and just like trying new beer. I prefer stouts BA and otherwise and sours. I guess the main thing I don't like is smoke beers. Otherwise I'm sure I will love anything. And I don't use Untappd but maybe I should haha.

 

Sender, I know my wants are whaley. Just send good beer. If it's new to me, great. Untappd is the most accurate picture of what I've had, @halfworcester.
