The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

@twofacedmonster thanks for the chance!!!

thinner crust with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, jalapeño, and as much cheese as they will put on it. Then cover it with crushed red pepper and a little parmesan. Pair it with a nice pale ale. yum.

 

Everyone is asleep already and I gotta get up a 6AM, still drinking though.



This is the last of the 6 awesome beers @TastyDelicousness sent me as part of the SWTFYW coordinated attack, good stuff, thanks again Timmy!

I love a fresh thin crust...brushed with extra virgin olive oil then Romano cheese sprinkled.... Add thick sliced Roma tomato, fresh milk mozzarella, red onion and Italian sausage salt, black pepper & crushed red pepper...throw it in a wood burning oven then finish with chopped basil and balsamic drizzle...pizza margarita my way like Frankie said.

 

I'm bored and waiting for midnight so I can crack into my 1st beer for the 12 days of summer.

How about some bottleshare pr0n from last night at @jdhowe 's? (a swtfywer, but quite a nice one!)


We cracked open a ton of great stuff, mostly courtesy of Josh and Aaron (bucktuckian). Here were probably my 4 favorites in no order


































Last night confirmed what I already knew; I really need to get some Locals handshake ticks asap. Cheers to midnight and the start of 12 days of summer bif!

 

#VBS Drinking this and Modus with my dad while eating fresh Colorado trout. Roaring Fork collaborates with Casey, and I see why!



Great fruity pale!

 

Well this is toooooo easy! We all know the best pizza is Chicago style deep dish and the best ingredients are sausage and mushrooms. Drops mic, but first, thanks for the chance!

*Edit, @JNForsyth totally best me to it, but I don't like pepperoni...

 

multi #VBS:
Celebrated my mom's successful surgery with her today, Drie Fonteinen Doesjel from February 2006 (batch 1 of 4 ever made). Uncarbonated but complex as hell.


Then this evening, solo. As amazing as Fort Point Pale Ale is, it's remarkable how much better Double Dry Hopped Fort Point Pale Ale is, and being 11 days younger doesn't hurt either. FPPA is 17 days old, and DDH FPPA is 6 days old #lehighfresh

A huge thanks to @xICooRsYIx for being a champion and getting this to me so incredibly fresh, and to @dwmetsfan13 for facilitating my hapless coworkers that tried to hook me up without knowing the first thing about shipping beer. Any week that includes two Trillium shipments is a VERY good week.

 

So much coffee...delicious thanks Jesse!!!

 

Glad you liked everything. I used to refer to the Iron Hill RIS as a "hidden gem"... It may not be as "hidden" as I once thought, but having won 5 GABF medals over the years, it certainly qualifies as a "gem". I loved that they canned it and sold it at a pretty reasonable price since the 750mL bottles are pretty pricey, now if only they'd can it on an ongoing basis... I'm almost out!

The Riserva is Batch 1, so it'll be interesting to see what you think of it, having had (I assume from your comment) the same batch when it was fresh.

I think I remember you making some mention of Big Gruesome at one point, but even if not something made me put it in there, so I'm glad it's a winner.

If you're not in love with that Jack's Abby don't by any means write them off, they sent what seems to have been a "testing the waters" shipment to the Philly area a while back, and I have yet to see any re-up. That one seemed like it'd least be affected by the time spent on the shelf, but it has been (if I'm being honest) my least favorite of their beers I've tried. As soon as we see some fresh stock of theirs I'd be happy to send out something better of theirs.

Probably to my own detriment in the long run, I've helped a few people lately with some Forest & Main... I'm torn between getting them out there more so that their popularity rises, and keeping the secret to myself!

As for the Tired Hands (and Forest & Main too, in growler form) there's plenty more where it came from, so don't hesitate to ask for a #pickitupformebro.

Given the scope of our trade (and that this is a BIF box too) I hope you weren't disappointed with the total volume, I tried to ensure that the quality was high enough to warrant it not being a super mega porch demolisher.

 

Looking to adopt.

I actually really love that it took 45 minutes to close this.

Someone asks for xyz limited release and a huckleberry comes out of the woodwork in 7 minutes or less, someone gives away a BT and it takes the better part of an hour for someone to take it off their hands. I love you guys.

Thanks to @LakerLeith for this one. Crossed off another want.

Had a relaxing 4th of July Eve. Learned how to shuck fresh little necks and slurped about 12 of them right up. I was the guy that was just forcing them upon people because i just learned how to pop them suckers open. Then i made some jello shots for tomorrows cookout and planned out my firework display for tomorrow night!

Hopefully they let me set em off this year...

 

Was shocked as well. He has denied me access to his address, but I know the good folks of this group will help a brother in need.

 

I don't know about you, but that SWTFYW 40 was my favorite of the box! In FL we only have 32 ozs, so I enjoyed taking it back to early high school and chugging a 40 of OE!

 

My hotel fridge looks likes this week in and week out for work, it's the only thing that keeps me sane!

 

The Cuban machete 'I mean my wife' is sleeping next to me while I have #datglass in one hand and my phone in the other.
#VBS Thx to Drew (you're on the list, and for more than one reason! )

Cheers

 

Like burgers I like pizza in lots of different ways, but if I'm going to say my "go to" it's gotta be pepperoni.

 

Not on the list....good beer there though right?
