The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

I'm getting a late start tonight after spending 5 hours in a car dealership. Just cracked my day 5 catch up beer and it's awesome...and has a great backstory. Unfortunately my phone died so **** will be coming soon...likely after I've tied one on pretty well. @Dave_Treat killed these 6 day....

I'm kind of ashamed I lost two bottles for the kill shot. @NickyPogs did manage to save one from the share we were at...I was pretty trashed by the end. The other got tossed by paranoid people when the cops rolled through the lot at binny's while waiting in the worst line ever.

 

Here's to not hoarding! Though I missed out on the Turkey Kisses, I'm still trying to recover from the bomb that decimated my whole neighborhood in round se7en (@PG2G is a mad man...). I can't let all you awesome locals drink alone-together tonight on the final day of yet another killer locals round!

#VBS--Thanks @PG2G!

Solid and sexy smooth! Darkstar November--my fist Bottle Logic and it is fantastic!

I've got a few sports boxes to send out in the next few weeks, but once the wife cools off a little bit from my "less-successful-than-I-was-hoping-for" 12-hour absence on Black Friday (that left her and my two very young children alone with my parents--I don't know why she wouldn't want to spend half the day alone with her in-laws...), I will begin repaying some of the locals generosity that I have been privileged to recently. I love you guys!

 

I came

You are literally the perfect do[x] target. I am fortunate that you enjoy my local favorite beer. Thanks for being awesome, let's not make this the last time I send you beer

 

Sorry man, don't have any with me. Maybe I can borrow a pair? After all, it will be our second date so I should be allowed to get in your pants.

 

Texans don't jort

 

LMAO! I've got a pair of basketball shorts you could wear. I'm sure these mother fukers (or should I say @Clarkson 's) will classify them as jorts!

 

I hope by all that is holy that they don't go Commando

Lurks back out......

EDIT..........Sorry, I have been informed that they wear briefs made of burlap, tumbleweeds, cactus and Jerry Jones tears.

 

Man, I know that feeling...

 

My columns are Brewery, Beer, Year, ABV, Size, Style, Barrel Aged (Y or N), Sour (Y or N), Location (which room of the house...), Sublocation (which box or fridge shelf), # of bottles, ounces, and who I received it from (if from a trade/BIF/etc, sometimes I list the store I got it from if purchased, but usually not). I have calculated columns of total size (number of bottles * ounces), Alcohol Oz/bottle, Alcohol Oz total (total amount of alcohol in those bottles), and SBUs (something my friends jokingly made up to compare to a 12 oz can of lite beer). Then I have a pivot table by location and another by style. Then another sheet to move beers to after I drank them/shipped them so I have a record of stuff that left the cellar (mainly so I know where I got something later on).

Come on @Mikexw, step up your Excel game man!

 

But Jones doesn't own the Texans...

 

It's very hot here. Sometimes yer britches are a casualty.

 

Wow

@Yourahoser knocked it out of the park.

Was a little compromised in keeping the last two bottles (was in the lav when the table was swept) - but I do have the first four kill shot:



Day 5 in action tonight - a perfect palate reset to all the big beers being poured and shared - very bretty, got the fruit for sure - and big dark sweet malts support a body of a big beer (10%) like I said in my check-in, every sip brought something different. Love trying beers like this, liked it more as I poured more:



Day 6 - took a peek this morning, what a perfect brew to share with my local peeps for tonights event. Big brewery, big beer, and no coffee stouts to be found anywhere! Perfect. Love the mouthfeel on all these CC stouts.. Damn.



Chad, what a fun round - domed three, shared three and enjoyed every pour I had from these bottles.

12 days would kill me, this was wonderful - these kill shots are awesome!

Glad you liked it sir

 

I liked your post, which essentially means you liked it. You're welcome

 

Thank you and yes please!

 

A fitting end to an awesome Turkey Sixer courtesy of @jrs3994243. I think this beer is one of the best Kriek's I've had.

Drie Fonteninen - Intense Red



Unfortunately no complete kill shot because I drunkenly left some of the bottles at @campa86's house. But just to recap...

1. Perrin - No Rules
2. Three Floyds - Pear Bear
3. Witch's Hat - Dragontrax
4. Central Waters - Black Gold
5. Griffen Claw Coffee Imperial Stout
6. Drie Fonteninen - Intense Red

An absolutely insane box. Thanks again Jerry, may the beer karma be with you.

 

Practice makes perfect, and I had a shitload of practice till I got it right.
***Every time anyone says practice my mind immediately goes into Allen Iverson press conference mode. Practice!?!?!?? We talkin bout practice?!?!?!?!? How'm I gonna help my team with Practice!?!?!!!!

 

Sorry sender, @xICooRsYIx . I didn't save all bottles for a kill shot. Somehow I missed we were doing that until Saturday

 

Not a problem man! At least you finished all your bottles. I drank Beer #5 today...

This one was excellent and got better and better as it warmed. This is the lightest beer so far coming in at 11.7%. Still trying to plan on when i can drink that BT. Might have to wait until this weekend. Tho i saw some of you tanks dome it tonight.

 

I had no issues with the order. The hoppy beers were plenty fresh. If it were me, I would have maybe moved the sip up a bit for freshness sake and put the sour last, but not having the bomb on Monday night was good.

Just for fun, I'll give a shot at ranking these:
1. cocoa-nut framinghammer 2. heavy mettle 3. sip 4. farmers reserve pluot 5. DDH fort point 6. Bomb!

No knocks against the bottom ranked beers, everything was awesome! Super happy with everything that was sent my way!
