The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

You like coconut beers huh? Too bad you hate Georgia and all our beers...

 

Your box was amazing! It is just that when I drink Pot & Kettle I will be all out of Trillium and I am not sure I am ready for this.

 

Delayed pron from @MCMASTERSANCHEZ , just a random ninja return fire box! Awesome thanks man!

 

dang @MCMASTERSANCHEZ how many cases of ZD did you buy?

 

Has @zekeman17 had this one yet?

 

#VCS (Virtual Coffee Share) #ProperGlassware



Pretty sure my wife was ready to stage an intervention before I mentioned that it was "seriously just coffee."

(Note to self: postpone the breakfast SMS/Hipster Brunch/KBS and Night and Day/Day and Night horizontals a few weeks)

When she saw me snapping this picture I got the old eye roll and "you seriously have a problem"

 

So @HoppySeb send this little 32lb bomb.


Bale Breaker Brewing - Topcutter (never heard of the brewery)
Fremont - Interurban IPA (heard of Fremont but never had anything from there)
Crux Fermentation Project - Banished Tough Love (never heard of but wax seal barrel aged gets me excited)
Deschutes - Conflux No 1 (Had it before and loved it if memory serves me correct)
Fremont - Dark Star
Fremont - Summer Ale

And that was just the small guys. On to the big boys.



Fremont - Midnight Rider (I totally forgot Midnight Rider was Fremont. I had this before and loved it so I guess I had one Fremont beer)
The Commons Brewery - Biere Royale (Never heard of but sounds excellent)
Anchorage - ADWTD (base of the blind trade and might be my celebration beer for my promotion)
de Grande Brewing - Tableau Rouge(WHAT de Grande heard great things and never thought id be able to try anything from them and has brett in it I love anything brett)
Deschutes - Black Butte XXVI (Another great beer I have yet to try)
Fort George Brewery + Public House - Black Sands(again never heard of the place but cant wait to try it)

What a great box filled with places ive never heard of and breweries I never thought Id be able to try. Looks like I owe someone some more beer because now I feel my box was lacking. Name added to list of people I owe beer to.

 

Ha I grabbed my 2 case limit. I think only about a little over a case has been posted here so far. I tossed in 3 for an IP trade and have three at home other than that they are all gone.

 

Just put it on the list, thanks for the heads up.

It's a beermosa. Srsly. I will be keeping a 6 pack on hand all summer for sure.

 

I like blue painter's tape instead of post-its, it can't fall off and as long as you put it on glass (not label) it won't mess anything up.

I go four, as 64oz > 3x20oz, but that's me

 

I wish I didn't have to work today, still feeling that growler. Got me afraid for the 12 days of summer :|

 

I wish I could have liked this multiple times...

 

I don't recall saying that, ever. Now, the filthy rebs that inhabit the area....

I've definitely had a mug of Founders Breakfast Stout for breakfast before, though I do limit it to Saturdays or at the least days that I'm working from home. I have no problem with drinking at any particular time of day, but I think if I felt the need to have a beer before driving into work I'd question that myself.

 

Splash down in Washington

 

Its called breakfast stout for a reason

 

x 2....

 

Where's the sixtercan right now?

 

Splash down indeed.

First off - blind trade result with @MCMASTERSANCHEZ - I only knew about the DL in the box...



That sixer of ZD will not last long! Permawant!
2x NYFRB - love it.
Wulver - permawant
DL '15 - will be taking it with me to Mexico in June and sharing it with some beer geek friends over there who are excited to try it for the first time.
Schlafly Barleywine - new to me!
Bigfoot '14 - love it, especially aged.

Thank you very much Shaun!! ZDs already in the fridge for prompt consumption

Then, an unexpected porch bomb from @mbmiche was also waiting for me...



- KBS 15 - permawant
- Blakkr - loved it last year, will be only the second time I have this.
- Fist City - new to me!
- PW Smore Money Smore Problems - stoked to try this one!
- Chocolate PB Pigeon Porter - first time with this one too!
- PW BA Jones Dog - sweeeet! Became an insta-perma-want last time Matt sent it. So glad to have another.
- PW Rum Barrel The Coqui - this sounds amazing, can't wait to try it.

Thanks so much for this most unexpected ninja box man! I will have my revenge.

Lastly - taking this afternoon off and doing a little share with a couple of friends so it should be a fun Friday.

Cheers!

 

I think I'm still trying to recover from the box you sent me a while back. I also figured that you have been sending out so much beer lately that your cellar must be pretty low. I had 2 BA Jones Dog left, and based on your reaction to the last one, I figured I would send one to you and keep one to sit on for a little while. And, it just didn't make sense to send a single beer...

Btw, I'll be on a long (12hr) layover in Seattle on June 18th. I'm planning on hitting up Fremont, but would love to know what 2-3 other breweries I should hit up. Thoughts? Maybe I can even buy you a beer...
