The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Thank God for Locals Turkey Sixer

Because it has worked beautifully, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we are stealing the proven X days format(originated by @bevoduz, and later successfully run by our own @Dave_Treat & @LehighAce06) for the next Locals round.

This will be Round 8, for those of you counting at home.

The following instructions were lovingly stolen, and may have been slightly modified to fit your screen.

What makes this round unique is each shipper will be providing their target with 6 individually wrapped beers(bottle, can, growler)… Each of these packages will be tagged with the order and/or date on which they should be opened. Starting on Wednesday November 25th, each target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo, post some ****, and hopefully drink the beer too!

It's up to the shipper to decide which beers should be opened when, and remember this is a task that shouldn't be taken lightly. Should the target open the best first on the biggest party night of the year, or on the Thanksgiving holiday, or after shopping for BCBS on Black Friday, to celebrate the BIF, or something in between? It is all up to you.

Please either quote this message, tag me, or BM me if you are in!

I will accept entrants until Friday 10/23 and plan to get targets out by October 25th, with a shipping deadline of 11/21. If you're interested let me know soon.

If this is your first foray into Locals BIFs:

Provide me via private message the following information (title the message Halloween BIF so I can easily reference it.)

Name, shipping address, and cellphone number

Any 'Do Not Ship' dates (ie you’ll be out of town)

Shirt size

Untappd username

Any notable breweries that are (or are not) available but not listed on seekabrew as such (as that site can be out of date)

All Participants:

Provide me via private message a Wish List - (you can send later so you have time to think about it) this is your beer geek list to Santa, giving them a bit more to go by than just your wants. Feel free to include specific beers, styles you love, styles you don't like, breweries, etc...

Even if you trust us all explicitly, please send at least a couple of bottles that you’d love to have. Or the style you’ve been craving!

Specifics for our Thanksgiving Santa’s:

6 beers! This is a hard limit. This round will not be about bombing porches. If you want to nuke your fellow Locals, do it with quality. Make sure each beer is individually wrapped in some way to ensure it's contents cannot be identified and clearly marked when it should be opened (either sequentially or the open date is fine)

Maximum of 6 beers! This will work only if it is treated as a SMALL round. If you feel the need to impress someone, do it with quality, not quantity.

I trust your judgement, but since the number of beers is limited, we should probably try to avoid a box of exclusively small format beers. Unless you can really bring the pain in 12 ounces.

Utilize the Wish List, as well as your targets wants, and at least try to get them beers they can't buy locally (seekabrew.com)

Swag is not required. But not restricted, either.

Your package should arrive to your target no later than the week ending November 21st, in case your target is out of town or there are shipping delays (travel plans will be noted when you get your target if available)

Open to all Locals, lurkers, and any wannabe Locals that have successfully completed BIFs in the past, or have positive trade feedback rating of 10 or higher and 100% positive. If you have never done a previous "12 Days" BIF or Locals round, PLEASE go to the threads for each and check out the hauls, this BIF is NOT for the faint of heart!

By signing up, you are committing to participation in not only sending and receiving beer, but the daily posting of beer **** and discussion throughout the drinking period from 11/25-11/30.

See http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/12-days-of-xmas-hints-and-haulz.221077/ for the 12 Days of Christmas Hints and Hauls and http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/nbo-12-days-of-summer-bif.283110/ for the 12 Days of Christmas in July.

For reals, only 6 beers. Really!

@NickyPogs I hope mail department has a sense of humor. I addressed the box tomorrow to your 'royal' name. Should be close enough.

I don't know what my royal name means, but they don't even look at the name anymore. They just see a massive box taped to high hell like it needs to survive the apocalypse with words like "Fragile, Olive Oil, Marinades" etc and they just take it to my desk.

The rules seems to say 6 beers pretty clearly.

Can we at least agree that if someone wants to send 2 12oz or 2 375ml that equals 1 beer?

I also would not have an issue with receiving just 1 12 oz as 1 beer on a day. I just want to have my sending options open if I wanted to send 2 jackie o's variants say oil and BB Oil on one day as a side by side without breaking rules.

Ugh, Out. Pains me to pass, but I want to make sure that I don't drain my cellar (or bank account) leading up to the 12-DoX and my shipment of the SixterCAN box.

Mark it on the books now though - I'm absolutely in for the first Locals round of 2016!

Thank God for Locals Turkey Sixer

Because it has worked beautifully, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we are stealing the proven X days format(originated by @bevoduz, and later successfully run by our own @Dave_Treat & @LehighAce06) for the next Locals round.

This will be Round 8, for those of you counting at home.

The following instructions were lovingly stolen, and may have been slightly modified to fit your screen.

What makes this round unique is each shipper will be providing their target with 6 individually wrapped beers(bottle, can, growler)… Each of these packages will be tagged with the order and/or date on which they should be opened. Starting on Wednesday November 25th, each target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo, post some ****, and hopefully drink the beer too!

Thank God for Locals Turkey Sixer

Because it has worked beautifully, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we are stealing the proven X days format(originated by @bevoduz, and later successfully run by our own @Dave_Treat & @LehighAce06) for the next Locals round.

This will be Round 8, for those of you counting at home.

The following instructions were lovingly stolen, and may have been slightly modified to fit your screen.

What makes this round unique is each shipper will be providing their target with 6 individually wrapped beers(bottle, can, growler)… Each of these packages will be tagged with the order and/or date on which they should be opened. Starting on Wednesday November 25th, each target will open the designated package for that day, take a photo, post some ****, and hopefully drink the beer too!

It's up to the shipper to decide which beers should be opened when, and remember this is a task that shouldn't be taken lightly. Should the target open the best first on the biggest party night of the year, or on the Thanksgiving holiday, or after shopping for BCBS on Black Friday, to celebrate the BIF, or something in between? It is all up to you.

Please either quote this message, tag me, or BM me if you are in!

I will accept entrants until Friday 10/23 and plan to get targets out by October 25th, with a shipping deadline of 11/21. If you're interested let me know soon.

If this is your first foray into Locals BIFs:

Provide me via private message the following information (title the message Halloween BIF so I can easily reference it.)

Name, shipping address, and cellphone number

Any 'Do Not Ship' dates (ie you’ll be out of town)

Shirt size

Untappd username

Any notable breweries that are (or are not) available but not listed on seekabrew as such (as that site can be out of date)

All Participants:

Provide me via private message a Wish List - (you can send later so you have time to think about it) this is your beer geek list to Santa, giving them a bit more to go by than just your wants. Feel free to include specific beers, styles you love, styles you don't like, breweries, etc...

Even if you trust us all explicitly, please send at least a couple of bottles that you’d love to have. Or the style you’ve been craving!

Specifics for our Thanksgiving Santa’s:

6 beers! This is a hard limit. This round will not be about bombing porches. If you want to nuke your fellow Locals, do it with quality. Make sure each beer is individually wrapped in some way to ensure it's contents cannot be identified and clearly marked when it should be opened (either sequentially or the open date is fine)

Maximum of 6 beers! This will work only if it is treated as a SMALL round. If you feel the need to impress someone, do it with quality, not quantity.

I trust your judgement, but since the number of beers is limited, we should probably try to avoid a box of exclusively small format beers. Unless you can really bring the pain in 12 ounces.

Utilize the Wish List, as well as your targets wants, and at least try to get them beers they can't buy locally (seekabrew.com)

Swag is not required. But not restricted, either.

Butterball? But in your avatar you look like you're in such good shape!

ninjembro · Oct 15, 2015

Might have to enter days of turkey... when I get home I'm going to assess. If I'm able to pull a couple things from my cellar and have to do minimal shopping I may say I'm in...

Touchdown in the state of oranges and old people. But it's not to the guy who is out of beer. Gotta spread the love to the other side of the state.

He probably deserved it.

NickyPogs · Oct 15, 2015

Well, I don't know who Nicky Pogington III is, but the FedEx guy just assumed it was me. "Your beer friends messing with you?". We both had a good laugh. @PA-Michigander this box will be waiting for you tomorrow, should I open it tonight or wait?

Also got another box from @jawas because Rob is crazy and guess he felt he needed it send me more? I don't get it, but I can't wait to open this baby tonight!
