The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Thanks @NickyPogs! #VBS

 

Lol!!

The first time I ever visited Houston was for a Colts game in 2009 when Peyton was still the QB. The Texans fans were great. Sure I took a lot of teasing but it was all in good fun and nobody went overboard. I can't say that about most of the other places that I have went. I even got a few of them to pose for a pic with me...

 

Not that much of a longshot, they're about half an hour away from me. Fairly certainly I'm going.

 

Always a pleasure to be thought of. I know it's not in your hand when you cane come down but if it happens to be in March during Tampa Beer week that would be a great score on your part. But you know I'll take you on a tour whenever the date is.

 

Wow, tagging a second non-local tonight. Thanks Mike, I randomly reached out to @Zh78888 as I saw he was going. The word Meemaw has very special meaning to me and my immediate family. We've worked out a very rudimentary trade. I highly suggest you two meetup there!

 

I'm guessing that the year after next is the first year they'll spend march in FL. My dad is now 80% retired and by then will be fully retired and have no good reason to not spend March in Florida.

 

Cheers, guys. And to @NickyPogs and his impressive share. I don't know what's going on, but here's a review!

Green bottle, 8/10/15.



Nose is fantastic. Bit of tartness, dry, floral, grassy hops and light breadiness. Taste follows the nose with just the slightest hint of tartness. The hops are pretty prominent, showing a decent amount of bitterness on the back end, with a bit of a resinous character. Drinking really well right now and I think this one will be even better in a year or two as I just had a 2013 bottle that was the best Prince I've had.

 

Sweet. That should give you a year to prep the liver.

 

@Kramerbarthomer how many VR do you have?!?

 

VR is absolutely my favorite beer, period. The answer to that question is, and will always be.... not enough...

 

You coy dog.

 

Been gone for a while. Might be gone for a while longer. If I get banned, it was nice knowing you all. I'll be on the other side.

 

I've heard great things about Meemaw!

@Zh78888 I'll be the guy with the beard!

 

Oh c'mon Mike. In the NC beer scene that's like saying the hot girl in the Miss America pageant! Or I'm assuming.

 

You're assuming correctly, I'm just being an asstwat.

 

Btw, just so you know, those Movembers are two different beers. True locals to me, one is 2 blocks, Pollyanna, and they made a coffee chocolate version. Imperial Oak is vanilla and cinammon of the same base. About 6 miles away. Same base but 2 adjuncts. Enjoy

 

@treznor I'll be the guy w a very small dog that looks like an old man and a mini cooler full of MA hops that I can't drink in line all by myself.

 

I know how much you love this beer too. I'd be willing to bet I have less that you do... They're becoming harder and harder to find by the day...

 

You'll probably be quite the popular guy then! I'll look for you. No idea if I'm planning on lining up or not. I know that means I might miss some of the bottles, but not sure if I can convince the wife.

 

I've got two left. I ended up sending a full case (12 not 24!) out to good folks before deciding to hold onto my last three. When @Devman171 and his buddies stopped through I couldn't not open one with their FO. It's easily a top 3 beer of all-time for me and understand your desire for more!
