NTP box take a beer, give a beer post...

I got together with these fine fellas to share some beers and drink the beer I took from the NTP box... Colour Five. As soon as I opened the box I knew this was the beer for me. The beer was everything I hoped it would be... lots of blueberry (which is hard to do IMO), a great amount of funk balanced with tart. I really love JK and was excited to try this one! A new tick for me too!!! Cheers to the Local who dropped this bottle in the box! Expect an NTP post from me in the next couple weeks (release dependent) from a brewery that sounds like Bourbon Heart Attack...

 

I have 4 slots open for my Fantasy Football BIF. This will be the 3rd year I run this.

Requirements are ship a BA Stout, Ship a BA sour, and 4 pack/6 pack of fresh hops. 120 oz minimum. Everyone ships a box even the winner.

 

It's been too quiet in here, and I happened to notice this trio in the front of my beer fridge, so had to pull them out for a group shot....



The one on the left is local for me, the one on the right just started getting distro here, and a whole box of the one in the middle arrived today, thanks to @jdimento and @PeterR . FWIW, the logistics of how that happened impressed the hell out of me.

And thanks to whichever one of you pulled out a Pliny and snuck in a Beatification . #L4L

 

The Locals “New Ticks” Parallel (NTP) Box

Every area of the country has a brewery that gets a ton of well-deserved hype, but doesn’t distribute out of state – or distribute at all, in some cases. There are also breweries that are putting out delicious brews that get little to no hype, but locals swear by their beer. This box will include beers from both types of breweries, hence “Parallel” – two horizontals, if you will.

Now, here’s the real twist – Among other criteria (listed below), the only way you are eligible to receive this box is if you’ve had 5 or fewer beers from the “Main Brewery” listed below in the last 2 years. If you’ve had more than 5, but they were all sample pours of an ounce or two, it is at the discretion of the sender if you qualify. This is the “New Ticks” portion of the box, the idea being to spread the love and get great beer into the hands of people who haven’t been lucky enough to try anything from a great brewery.

Origin - Cincinnati, OH
Main Brewery: Urban Artifact

What’s in the Box?!??!
The NTP box is intentionally reasonably sized (6-10 beers max), and will include 4 parts:
1. Several offerings from the “Main Brewery”.
2. A couple offerings from an unannounced “Unheralded Local Brewery”.
3. Swag from at least one, if not both breweries.
4. A “Take a beer, Leave a beer” Box.

The “Take a beer, Leave a beer” box:
This box will include 3 cellarable beers, and is like that penny tray at your local gas station. As the NTP box arrives with each new recipient, they will have the option to take 1 (and only 1) beer to drink or cellar for future consumption – absolutely no trading or forwarding, however much you mightwant to. If the recipient takes a beer from this box, they must replace it with something worthy of the traveling box. These beers don't need to be local, just awesome.

Rules / How it Works:
◦ This traveling box is open to all Locals, as well as certified lurkers who have successfully participated in other major BIF rounds here on Beer Advocate. Recipient must not have received the NTP box previously.
◦ Sender announces their “Main Brewery” and sign ups remain open for a specified length of time. This brewery must not distribute out of state, and must be worthy of being the focus of the traveling box.
◦ Interested participants who meet the criteria (Be honest. No deleting UnTappd check-ins!) must message the sender, and once sign-ups have ended the sender selects a target at random.
◦ Sender will keep the “winning” participant secret, and ship within a reasonable amount of time. BIF-style hints encouraged.
◦ Once the box lands, the Recipient now becomes the next sender. They should add a local sticker/label/etc… to the inside of the box and reopen sign-ups for the next round when ready (3-4 weeks max).
◦ If at any time there are no interested sign-ups, or the exterior box is on its last legs, the current sender will ship back to the originator of the box (@RuckIt).

Sign up!
BM me with "NTP Box" in the title. Include your shipping address, shirt size, swag preference, and what (if anything) you've had from the "Main Brewery". If there are any "do-not-ship" dates, include that info too! I will close this on Friday, 8/24/18 and ship out the week of 8/27/18

Cheers Locals #L4L
