NBO - Locals Round 12

Because I love rounds which encourage drinking and discourage hoarding, I am pleased to announce the NBO for Locals Round #12.

Round #12 is open to all Locals and Lurkers in good standing, as well as anyone interested in seeing what The Locals are all about. New participants may be screened prior to acceptance into the round.

The hard and fast rules don’t include anything crazy - in fact you might recognize most of them from previous rounds;

You will be assigned a target.

You will ship your target 6 wrapped beers for blind consumption. Multiple small beers on a given day are acceptable.

You may include a maximum of 6 extra beers (wrapped or unwrapped) for consumption at any time. Extras are not required, but who am I kidding…

You must include 1 piece of matching swag for one of your 6 wrapped beers (PGW, Brewery shirt, bottle opener, etc…)

Your target must consume the wrapped beers as specified by you on April 7th, 8th, 9th and 14th, 15th, 16th. Include the date of consumption on the wrapping paper, or at least “Day 1”, “Day 2”, etc…

And because it wouldn’t be a Locals round without a bit of a twist, here are some suggested guidelines to follow for each wrapped bottle. These are not hard rules, merely suggestions - participation is encouraged but by no means required for these - feel free to follow some or all as you see fit;

April 7th - National Beer Day; Honor your target with a beer worthy of the repeal of prohibition.

April 8th - National Zoo Lovers Day; Send your target with a beer which includes an animal in the name or label artwork. Also acceptable - a beer from brewery with an animal in the name/logo, or animal included somewhere in the swag.

April 9th - National Cherish an Antique Day; No, this day isn’t about appreciating @Mipper, @Dave_Treat, and @smanson56. Wrap up an old beer and let your target enjoy it! “Old” is subjective, and may include any beer that you’ve been holding onto but isn’t necessarily “vintage”.

April 14th - National Pecan Day; While there’s not overly common to find pecans in a beer, other adjuncts are used all the time. Give your target a beer with adjuncts - bonus points for nuts… Pecans, peanuts, hazelnuts, coconuts… but any adjunct is acceptable. This is also Good Friday - so make it something good!

April 15th - National Tax Day; Many Americans will need to drown their sorrows after sending Uncle Sam a big ‘ol tax check. Send your target a big imperial stout. Imperial Russian Stout (IRS, lol) or otherwise.

April 16th - Easter / National Healthcare Decisions Day; Help your target celebrate escaping from behind a big rock, -or- Make some important healthcare decisions for them. Either an “easy” beer to make a good healthcare decision / light celebration, -or- a “big” beer as a poor healthcare decision / big celebration.

Summary:
Day 1 (April 7th): Beer worthy the repeal of prohibition.
Day 2 (April 8th): Beer (or brewery) with an animal in the name or logo.
Day 3 (April 9th): Vintage or cellared beer.
Day 4 (April 14th): Beer with adjuncts.
Day 5 (April 15th): Imperial Stout.
Day 6 (April 16th): Dealer’s Choice - “Easy” low ABV beer, or “Big” high ABV beer.

Details:

Sign-ups will run through Friday, March 10th.

Targets will go out by Monday, March 13th.

Boxes must be shipped & received by Thursday, April 6th (3.5 weeks from target assignments).

BM me by next Monday (3/13) to enter. BM title should be “Locals Round 12”.

Include any style or adjunct likes / dislikes. Specifically nuts (see April 14th).

If you have a specific target request, please include it and I’ll accommodate as many as I can.

Cheers!

Starting off anti hoarding Thursday with a 2012 Backwoods bastard. The bourbon is so nice on this one right now. Wow.

Then for dinner I had a plate of brisket nothing else just brisket and needed a beer to go with it so decided it was a bourbon kind of anti hoarding Thursday and went with a 2012 BCBS. Wow again the bourbon is coming though very nicely but in a total different way.

So interesting on how different the bourbon can be in two of my top 5 favorite beers

Cheers locals

Nice night of drinking Shaun!

treznor · Mar 10, 2017

What started as a nice DIAB for some Big Black Voodoo Daddy from @tommyguz turned into a DIAB for other stuff from Voodoo... and then somehow more beers fell in the box. Fairly certain these non-Voodoo beers weren't part of the agreement. Going to have to repay you now @tommyguz !

Voodoo Big Black Voodoo Daddy, Breakfast of Champions, Vivrant Things (3 cans, tough to see in the pic), and Unrefined.
Fat Heads Hop Juju
Spring House Mosaic Joop
Platform High Brow Barista.

Never heard of Platform and my wife was just saying that coffee blond ales might be her new favorite style (yeah, not a huge amount of selection out there, though a local place, Wooden Robot, does a really nice one), so it comes at an opportune moment!

Count me in!

MCMASTERSANCHEZ · Mar 11, 2017

I'm a little slow but I see what was done with this round. Round 12, 12 beers max (6 and 6 extra) , or so the "rules" say.

I might be an accountant but outside of business hours my brain shuts down and goes into power save mode.

Also here is the YE Bonus haul from today. Some of it might make it into round 12

Had a great time at Voodoo brewing yesterday. Got to tick a new handshake as well. Great time drinking some beers with @Jwilford23

One of these is heading out to a deserving local tomorrow in my delayed screw box. With more to follow in the next month or so.

I left my laptop with the spreadsheet at work, so everyone has until 2:00pm tomorrow (Monday) to sign up. I'll figure out targets tomorrow afternoon/night and begin to send them out as soon as they're done.

Last call for Round #12!

Kind of looks like the bunch I brought back from Barreled Souls a couple of weeks ago. Someone that signed up for the NPT Box from PA better be on the lookout in the next couple of days!
