The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Day 6 of the Turkey Sixer is another home run by our boy @NickyPogs!



I don't recognize the cap. The nose is bourbon! Lots of bourbon. After that chocolate and some vanilla. Taste is big chocolate up front and bourbon on the finish. Fucking tasty! Another awesome stout.



And another goddamn want from Nick. This is damn good! Nick you killed it this week, I owe you big time man. Killshot coming soon. What a damn week of beer this was.

Absolutely did enjoy. Day 6 May have been my favorite...or maybe it was the Tiramisu Hoo. Tough call, both were great.

 

Glad you enjoyed it.

 

On my flight yesterday TSA was obviously interested to see what @snowmageddon had in store for Day 6

Thankfully they didn't spoil the surprise by telling me:


Man this is a tasty beverage, nice thick mouthfeel & well integrated coffee

 

Day 6


God damn this is good. A nice ending to very stressful day.

Tomorrow, trying to find out if I can get a brazil visa appointment before my flight leaves. thats right, have to get an appointment and right now they are over a month booked....

Than BCBS hunting.

 

You've just not had enough joy in your life if you don't recognize the Central Waters bottle cap!

 

I'm glad you enjoyed everything. It was fun being able to hit quite a few wants and sending down some solid Michigan beers. Cheers Chad.

 

Turkey Sixer kill shot:



Thanks, @treznor! 6 new ticks, multiple wants... I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

 

Glad you enjoyed! Was definitely tough sticking to just six!

 

We're pretty close -- I think mine does everything except the ounces -- columns for brewery, beer (including year where it's relevant), style, abv, columns for the number in the fridge, number in the wine cellar, number being saved for a specific occasion/drinking partner, and number that are intended to be aged and/or traded. Then a comments column that mentions a specific occasion it's being saved for or who I received it from. Right now there 21 other columns for specific inventory locations with the number of that beer in that location, at the bottom of the column it tells how many beers are in the box (in answer to @devilfluff 's question, when I move a beer from a box to the fridge, that creates an empty slot -- every couple of months I like to consolidate boxes, which is why I have and count empty slots).

At the bottom I have totals of each type, the top section is also categorized into "new ticks" vs stuff I've had before and gives total and unique counts.

I have a separate tab with stuff I've consumed that includes brewery, beer, style (both BA and untappd), ABV, overall untappd and BA ratings and my untappd and BA ratings. Along with distinct pivots for brewery and style that give counts along with the four ratings. Then yet another tab where I just keep track of what I've shipped because I like to see how the recipients rate what I sent them, and to try and minimize the chances that I send the same beer to the same target multiple times. There are about 6 or 7 unrelated tabs too...

 

Have a completely separate spreadsheet for trades to make sure I don't send the same beer again to the same person. Probably could consolidate and add the couple tabs from my trades spreadsheet to my cellar spreadsheet, but haven't done it yet...

 

By the way -- I just realized we hit 1200 pages -- I feel like 100 of them were in the past week...

 

Black Tuesday: name checks out

 

FTFY

Lurks back out.......

 

I was being facetious. I need more boxes, so have no empty slots...

 

Finally, the delayed **** due to opening a 750 at 11:30 last night and dining boss pours...

Day 5 - Strawberry Shortcake. This one was on my wants for nostalgic reasons. Had it at DLD this year and have been looking for a bottle to share with the wife. A huge surprise when I opened it.


Day 6 - Nordic Saison. What a way to end the 6 days...especially #bosspours at damn near midnight. Just under the deadline! This one had a whole bunch of different flavors as it warmed. Love Hill Farmstead!



Thank you so much @Dave_Treat! You nailed, but I never had any doubts. I knew when I found out you were my sender that I was in for a "treat". And on to the 12!

 

I am not a huge lager fan or really a fruited fan (with the exception of sours and NG fruits) but man I did enjoy that Strawberry Shortcake as well.

 

That sounds useful. I used an app for a while, but it was cumbersome. I need to create something like this.

 

I domed one of those from @PG2G and then my wife went into labor 20 minutes later....that will be our little secret!

 

waking up this morning and not having a beer to unwrap was depressing. good thing 12DoX is coming up soon.
