The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Box is just about finished and will ship Monday, so time for content hints:

As the box currently stands, it has 7 bottles/cans comprising 144oz with an average rating of 95. It includes 6 permawant type beers, 2 are familiar, 4 are new to you. The only other beer (spoiler alert) is my homebrew. It's taking me a while to get through a case of mediocre IPA...

With any luck, a few more beers will be added this afternoon that are not wants, but should be. They'll drive the average rating down by 0.026 points, but I think that's worth another 32 oz of New England hops

 

To clarify my hint: 6 total letters.

 

Is this Smokebox BBQ? If so I have been there and it is delicious. I was extremely skeptical of "NE BBQ" but this delivered

 

Oh so you are a good catholic on Fridays but yesterday had no issue making an "Eat out" comment.....

 

Hint: I am shipping to a state with more letters than mine

 

More unique letters, or total letters?

 

Bear's in Hartford. ON the campaign trail across the state I have had A LOT of bad BBQ. This was fricken awesome, I'd go there again, and I'm the fussiest eater ever.

 

yes.

 

20-30 minutes as per Google maps. You heading out here?

 

So @Ncpogs and I did a small trade a couple weeks ago. 4 cubano and a Snow for 6 NYFRB 5.9 and Vlad the Conquistador. I sent a couple measly extras, I think you guys refer to them as "shelfies" and this guy blows up my wants list.


This was the trade. Then he decided to do. . .



My First Abduction! Not sure if it's on my wants but I've been wanting to try that Citra for quite some time. And a 17! Really!! I actually just traded for one that I received yesterday. Now I have 2, one now and one to age. This would have been plenty, but there's more.



Here's another 4 wants! I'm not going to list them because my flip phone takes pretty good pics. Just zoom in, and for the elder men in here go ahead and get those readers out of your front pocket. Nick you made my day brother. Can't thank you enough. There will be some payback in the future.
Cheers

 

Lol, I like to pretend, whatever helps me feel better about myself

 

You are certainly welcome Matt. And your box was still loaded with a ton of great beer, plus #properglassware. I happened to have bottles on your want list that I've tried and so I wanted you to try them as well.

 

Bad news: Non-CJ LIF BIF Box delayed until tomorrow unfortunately, but it has arrived in the DFW area.
Good news: I have some Cali goodness (plus something Red Sox related?) waiting for me when I get home.

 

So I just left my mommies house to pick up my "smallish" box from @Dave_Treat For those of you who don't know I ship the majority of my boxes to my mommies because if my wife had any idea how bad I was, I'd be in the time out corner every damn weekend! Anyways here we go



If I'm not mistaking, that Kern is not that easy to come by and trades pretty high! I was in shock when I saw that! ! That Duet is really good, I liked it better than the pure hoppiness. And Nelson, one I have yet to try and have been wanting to. Thanks so much Dave. I really appreciate it. I'm salavating over that Kern as I type!

Cheers to you good sir

 

Yea I might be out there for a Jiu-Jitsu tournament. Flying in April 17 competing April 18th and back home on the 19th. Should be hitting the town after I compete on the 18th.

 

If something you got makes you look bad, I'm worried for your entire piece of real estate.

...and with good reason, nice box Nick!

 

I saw that too - no worries. Going to have it held at a store to make sure it doesn't sit over the weekend on my porch though.

 

There is no such thing as "NE BBQ" - I've watched House Hunters before and they refer to grilling as BBQ. Hot dogs on the Weber and sauced up pork is not BBQ.

Sincerely,

The South

 

I'm worried as well Kev. I think I'm gonna have to find a new hobby. I was also destroyed in a recent trade I did. I'm starting to second guess myself. .

 

Got me a regular trading partner that has lucked out in the draw 2 years in a row. I got to drink a bottle last year. so when he surprised me, I surprised you. Good beer is for sharing! Enjoy my friend. I'll be waiting for the #VBS.

Let me know if that address is a bad one for you...

Dave
