The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

F'in Orioles, missed that.

 

I've got a list of ~20 names based on posts so far, but supposedly there are 24 of us. I'll share that list shortly.

 

wheelzntoyz California
The_Craft_Deviant_Rob New Jersey
Lehighace06 Pennsylvania
Kramerbarthomer Colorado
hansenm72 Wisconsin
MCMASTERSANCHEZ Indiana
devilfluff New Jersey
justanewby Pennsylvania
EA728 Texas
heystevec Maryland
Ncpogs Illinois
kgncfl Ohio
mkhartnett Minnesota
Nro California
Tee2Grn Michigan
mklisz New Hampshire
UcDru Ohio
_RL_ Maryland
valrxman Florida
Mikexw New York
billhelm Minnesota

 

I'm 90% done with my shopping. I will be able to hit a couple wants and possibly a variety of one of my targets wants.

 

add raulazzer- california to @mklisz list

 

I have marked off 7 of 22 names so far

 

I've marked off 13 names so far including my own, leaving me with 9 potential senders (+any not on the above list)

Hint #6 I'm shipping to a time zone that is not my own.

Edit: I can probably mark off 14 names... given my list of wants, a Californian saying "I can easily hit a couple wants, but not locals" is not likely my sender

 

Hint: Shipping an 'Enjoy By' porter
Hint: Shipping to Eastern Time Zone
Hint: I was able to secure 2 wants from California

 

Sorry to butt in, but could someone give me a quick explanation as to what a 'Hints and Hauls' is?

 

Sure.

Hints: The participating members of the BIF post messages with clues about who their target is and what they are sending.
&
Hauls: (aka beer ****)When a BIF member receives their beer delivery, they post pictures of the contents to be ogled by other members. Usually there is gratitude and excitement, and a discussion about the awesomeness of x beer that was sent.

Peanut gallery/lurkers hang around to live vicariously. (I lurk the SWTFYW BIF, personally)

 

If there are 24, and this is 22, that leaves 2 more. I went through the NBO thread and found 13 people that those two could be:
Jeremy_H
IndyTruks138
I_BYE_MI_BEER
SBALDWIN
gfg0020
willth
Mcooly
edhizdeid
Syracuse12
nlmartin
CRon_T
Damian74Shensky
PA-Michagander


@The_Craft_Deviant_Rob - Would love to get confirmation on who those two people are!

 

Awesome, thanks for the response.

 

Hint #1 - Shipping East
Hint #2 - Will be hitting a few wants (is that considered a hint or just general niceness?)
Hint #3 - I had a job interview with this persons local sports team. Obviously I did not get the job or I wouldnt be shipping to them
Hint 4 - I love your states beverage
Hint 5 - Your package will contain beer(s) from a brewery that only has 23 beers listed on here. A true local.

 

FTFY

 

Edit maybe I should say a small local

FTFY?? Sorry not hip with the short hand stuff

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Maybe........maybe not

Ahh thanks

 

To allay the confusion, I was implying that he was loading up a box with a ton of FFF. (Sorry to explain (ie ruin) the joke, but it seemed like it would be helpful)

 

I got the joke dude Would FFF count as local for me? It's in another state, but 40 minutes away. Should I stick to truly local stuff? Pretty sure there are 24 breweries within a 20 mile radius of me.

 

We're using fuzzy logic. I fully expect to ship several beers from outside the 3 hour, local "window."

I'm headed out of state this weekend, and my target will likely get some hangers on from outside my normal distro.
