The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

First a little #VBS while I entertain you with this ridiculously stupid generous beermail from @JNForsyth
Just hit shelves today, and gone about an hour later

 

Three boxes from New England on the truck for delivery today...

Now exceptioned with unable to deliver refused by shipper. Yuck.

 

And on to the pron. Mind you, this was an agreed 1 bottle each Hipster Brunch for BA Flying Mouflan, the rest is just crazy. Felt like I got a 2nd BIF box today.

Neshaminy Creek - County Line IPA - New to me, in the fridge waiting
Alpine - BA Odin's Raven - Long time Want!
Spring House - Simcoe Must Be Destroyed - Love this label, have seen it around and very anxious to try

Spring House - Blood Lust - Have seen this one around to, and very curious to try it
Pizza Boy - Wine Glass and Golden Sour - Shoulda been Want!
Troegs - BA Flying Mouflan - Want

Group Shot


What an amazing box Jeremy. Completely stoked by all of the awesome beer. I just hope when my box lands tomorrow you find it worthy. I love the generosity of the people in this group!

 

*Drool*

 

Your wife must be my wife's long lost sister! Every Friday my almost 4 year old son says "more beer daddy" Thank god he's not snitching to mommy yet!

 

#VBS this is fucking amazing. 6 days old... that's what I call #lehighfresh! Thanks @waddellc2!

 

Damn it. I wish this would have come out last week, definitely would have put one in your box. (Does that sound dirty to anyone else or just me?)

 

#VGS Unbelievable brown ale by FB "French Toast".
They barrel age this and the win will be of epic proportions.

Thanks @valrxman!!

Cheers!

 

Glad you like everything Nick, cheers! Can't wait till your box-o-beer gets to my office tomorrow!

Not dirty at all, I'm picking up what you're putting down.

 

#VBS. Best non-BA beer I've had from Fremont thus far. This brewery is truly becoming world class. Thanks @HoppySeb

 

The iconic box known as the horizontalhood has landed!


The contents...

PIZZA BOY!!! Jeremy either did some research, or just knew anyone would love these beers lol. But ive been dying to get my hands on their stuff, especially Sunny Side Up, Eternal Sunshine, and Simcoe Samuri. Also my first ever crowler. I whiped out the can and my girlfriend was like WTF! Just the shear size is hilarious lol.

Cant thank you enough Jeremy! I cannot wait to drink these beers properly out of that sexy glass

Stay tuned for the next round which i will be posting soon!

 

Andrew @ajaylock absolutely killed it with his Anti-LIF-circle-jerk Locals BIF box.

First, the "little" ones...

Miami Brewing "Big Rod"
Hops and Grains "The One They Call Zoe"
@ajaylock "special 1314"
Saint Arnold "Icon Rye IPA"
Community "Legion RIS"
Goose Island "BCBBW"

Founders "KBS"
Saint Arnold "Divine Reserve #14 and #15"
Prairie "Vanilla Noir"

And then a few larger formats...

Armadillo Ale Works "Quakertown Stout"
Lone Pint "Yellow Rose"
Jester King "Ol'Oi!"
Jester King "Estival Dichotomous"

I'm super pumped about this box (not sure how it all fit btw). I love trying others' homebrews--I wish I had the time or patience to do it myself. You'll have to let me know what it is. Legion--solid, BCBBW--delicious! one of my favorites and glad to have more! KBS!--have had it once and loved it--thrilled to have it again! I've seen the Divine Reserve on the locals boards alot. Excited to be able to try it! Vanilla Noir sounds awesome and should be a huge want! @jawas and his brownies made that Quakertown look delicious! Yellow pint? Has anyone in the locals ever heard of this beer? And anything Jester King is a huge want!

Thanks again for an awesome box!

And a family pic...

 

#VBS Modern Times Monster's Park BB Coconut Cacao nibs

 

Verdict? I gotta go pick mine up still.

 

Holy shit man, that's a hell of a great box. Was it literally a 1:1 trade with extras, or do you mean that just the one bottle was defined? If the former, you might be in trouble!*


*I say this before seeing your box, and do have complete fait that you'll be fine, just damn!

 

@HoppySeb kills it again #VBS

 

Had it last week (from guess who...@hoppyseb)--Very solid--so much going on!

 

I planned on sending out Pizza Boy stuff when I signed up for the Horizontalhood, when you were chosen from the applicant pool I saw you were ISO and had some wants it was just meant to be.

I wanted to send 6 bottles but couldn't find the West Shore IPA anywhere, it's definitely not #lehighfresh at this point so it's not big deal. I also may or may not have had to do some dirty things to get some of those bottles . Luckily some great dudes like @PA-Michigander and @SoapPlant helped me out with a few of them because they aren't sitting on the shelf anymore.

Cheers and enjoy!

 

Glad you like it! The homebrew is an oatmeal stout with cacao, vanilla beans, coffee and cinnamon.

 

It was more the latter. I've seen the boxes Nick sends out on a regular basis so I know I had to step it up, plus he had quite a few wants that I had laying around so the box came together real easy.
