The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

One more question for my target. Which is your favorite fruit? Peach? Raspberry? Cherry?

 

Content hint: @campa86 would love half the bottles that I sent and hate the other half

 

Can I get a combo drinking Raspberry right now but got cherries on deck!

 

Where would a BA Wee Heavy stand?

 

Cherry

 

Digging into extras from @Bum4ever after mowing the lawn.



Thanks! Love me some Pliny.

 

Millions of peaches, peaches for me...

 

Coconut

 

The correct answer is always peach

 

@JNForsyth Looks like your box is on the vehicle for delivery. I hope you are thirsty!

 

Box out for delivery in iPA....

 

Luckily I am working from home today, so I could intercept the UPS driver who was about to destroy my porch. Turns out @PassMeAZima was my sender and dropped an incredible box on me.



The unwrapped bottles include:
Dogfish Head - Oak-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout
Enlightened Despot - Russian Imperial Stout
Southern Grist/Aslin - Pushing Buttons
Odd Side Ales - Apricot Dank Juice
Westbrook - Key Lime Pie Gose
Bearded Iris - Mood Ring
Cantillon - Rose de Gambrinus (Fuck yeah. I'm excited for my first Cantillon)
Side Project Brewing - Fencerow

And a bad-ass Ethereal Brewing t-shirt.

Thank you, Jason, for this incredible box. I can't even begin to imagine what the wrapped bottles are if these are extras.

 

Target. Your box should arrive tomorrow. Please refrigerate cans asap. And maybe leave in the ziplock bag (just incase).

 

Turns out I am the good Doc's target. This arrived today:



The extras have me excited, I've had six Weldwerks offerings but none of their hoppy/canned stuff.

Main Event:


Thanks Mike, I can't wait for this to get started!

 

Now all the 69 hints make sense....

 

Are you hitting on me?!

 

Digging into another extra from @Bum4ever. New brewery tick, and always enjoy dimensions hazy hops!



Just cutting out labels for home brew. Pay no attention to the pile of beer in the background.

 

And for some reason @Jawnnm thought I must be thirsty. This showed up at work today.



Thanks, John. I'll make sure to get your box back to you soon.

 

Okay to my target I realized after wrapping your box that I forgot to label the bottles so I drew you a map on the back of the address label. So remove the label before opening the box and removing said contents. Or you can just drink as you want.
Am I still on peoples lists as a possible sender? I'm pretty sure my target is on to this old dog.

 

Started digging in to the extras from @PassMeAZima tonight. First up: Mood Ring by Bearded Iris. Very heavy on the berries, but has a nice bitter touch at the end. I really dug this one and it was a new brewery tick (as are all but Dogfish Head from my box).



Second is Apricot Dank Juice by Odd Side Ales. I don't get much apricot flavor, but it's still a decent IPA.

 

That Apricot got tons of sediment. Damn

 

Hope you like em! And I did the days a little different. The bottles aren’t labeled by day, but by ABV. Figured you could pick your poison that way. If you want more details about a particular bottle (style, etc) just lemme know. I have a list
Cheers!

 

After an extremely long and shitty day of work I was finally able to get my Summer Sixer box from @mervmurry home and open. You sir, are a mad man!



Thanks for the letter and birthday wishes, nice personal touch.

7 wrapped beers and an extra of Duende, love me some Creature Comforts!

Extras include ‘16 & ‘17 BBA Dark Charge, Canus Mexicanus, DB (!) Black Maple with matching JO’s glassware, and a special birthday surprise that I couldn’t wait to open.

Wow! A bottle of Eagle Rare for my birthday! Thanks Michael, much appreciated. Can’t wait to dig in to all of this.

Cheers!

 

It settled out; I just took the picture fairly shortly after pouring.

 

Hint #7 - I have been to your home city

Hint #8 - I have recently sent beer to your state

 

The bad news first: Box arrived from @bstoos today, but it was wrapped about 10 times with a note attached.


One bottle broke and soaked the box.
The good news is that @bstoos used USPS and they still delivered the box. Had it been fedex, this bad boy would have probably been gone for good.



All new ticks on the extras and the 6 day line-up has me intrigued. Only one man down, unfortunately it was the July 4th bottle. Based on the smell and the label, it sounds awesome.



Can't wait to get this thing started. Thanks @bstoos!

 

Fucking Michigan breweries.

 

I fucked up, I meant to send you a super fresh Cerebral DDH IPA too and I totally forgot . I'm an idiot

Drink that XXJB and the Blackberry Milkshake sooner than later, those are pushing 6 weeks old but they were brewery only and excellent so I wanted you to try them. Cheers man!!

 

I've got an odd weekend planned but will try to get to those two immediately. This looks amazing enough, don't fret over anything bud.

BTW - 6969

 

Does @bstoos live in Hudson Valley? Asking for a friend

 

He's in Ithaca.

 

@smanson56 is right. I'm in Ithaca with semi-regular travel to Buffalo. I have never really spent any time in the Hudson Valley region outside of passing through on my way to Boston a couple times.

 

My boxes will be dropped off this morning and should arrive by Wednesday at the latest.

 

Hint 01: Shipping outside my time zone
Hint 02: Not shipping to a Newbie
Hint 03: Shipping North of America's wang
Hint 04: I have not sent you a box, nor have you sent me a box.
Hint 05: Shipping East
Hint 06: Your state is not landlocked
Hint 07: You have already attempted to guess your sender
Hint 08: I know how to ninja, unlike my sender. Don't expect any notifications

Noted.

 

Sponge candy is the one reason I miss travelling to buffalo regularly

 

Sponge candy is interesting. I just had some recently.
Repacking my box this weekend and sending on Monday. I had to make a few changes.
