The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

You guys are in for a treat. Better than Heady IMO.

 

Absolutely better. This is currently my favorite IPA. Period.

 

I love this thread. Keep it up guys.

 

@billhelm changing up the profile pic, nice. Bummed I missed the Focal Banger opportunity. Stupid car trip for 6 hours through Wisconsin... Hoping my detour to Central Waters is fun

 

showing some love for Bauhaus Brew Labs, one of the newest locals in Minneapolis. I'm biased, my cousins and their families run the place. I just show up and drink it.

They're getting their canning line up sometime this year and once they do, I'm sure some cans will find their way into a BIF or 3.

 

I was lucky to have this on tap in VT. I only had one because there were about a dozen beers I needed to try while I was out and went back the next afternoon for lunch but it had already tapped.

I sadly had a fresh Heady instead. #spoiledbrat.

Agree that it is my favorite DIPA/IPA/APA. Three way tie between that Hi-Res (yeah I know I just really like the stuff), and Ourobouros (which I was even more lucky to find when I went up there in Jan. I guess the Alchemist had made some special kegs of the stuff, and whomever ordered it blew it off and so they gave them to the downtown Waterbury bars and that randomly corresponded with my one night trip up there).

 

Sounds like you had a good time in VT

 

Did a side-by-side with this, Anchorage Galaxy, and OTWOA. This was easily the best and among the best I've ever had, although I would say Double Sunshine is the best I've had.

 

Carton released another batch of O'Dub... and I gots a couple 4-packs. It ain't Focal Banger, but some will be packed up for a payback trip to NH.

 

Except for this one douchebag...

 

If I see you next week, I wouldn't mind taking home a can or two of that

 

Solid move hooking up the BIF. Focal sounds delicious.

 

That can definitely happen. There's some Boat stashed, too.

 

Sorry I knew... Of him....

 

Hope everything's going well with the birth of your child! There's a box scheduled for delivery in Milwaukee today with a few things you might want to celebrate with.

 

Seriously... I'm starting to get worried.... I've been through the delivery process twice now and both times I was texting (wasn't on BA yet) within 20 minutes of the birth... As much as I hate to wish for it, I hope this is simply a very long labor!

 

For our second one, my wife was a week late and everything went smoothly.
Hoping the same for @hansenm72 whenever his baby decides to join us.

 

Box from @mklisz is definitely safe and sound in my house. Still in the hospital waitin in this kid to come. We're about 27 hours into induction and things are progressing slowly but more importantly SAFELY. Moms startin to get a lil frustrated but hopefully we'll have a new kid soon.

 

There he is!!! Glad to hear everyone is safe, 27 hours is a bitch... my first was 23 hours 59 minutes, about 20 hours with induction drugs, 3 more hours and she'd have killed someone. Keep us posted brother and best wishes for mom and baby!

 

Wow good luck -- my first one was "only" about 12 hours of labor for my wife if I recall correctly (I do remember when one of the attending medical folks asked whether she was expecting a boy or a girl her response was "I don't care if it's a monkey, just take it out!") and then ending up being a c-section, my 2nd one was a planned c-section.

And if the kid arrives by the end of the day, you can just send @mklisz 's box right back to him.

Good luck again, it will be worth the wait!
