    Wait, so we're not supposed to ship via Canada Post for this? What should I use?

    Unfortunately, there is no legal way to send beer from province to province as far as I know. What I said was tongue-in-cheek.

    If it reassures anyone, i received a package from AB this week and nothing was frozen.

    We are not supposed to ship via Canada Post or any carrier. It is technically illegal to ship beer (not that you are going to get a criminal record for doing so). Ship with whoever you are most comfortable - Canada Post, FedEx or UPS. I would not recommend UPS though.

    My box is in the FedEx system, about 176 ounces with a bit of swag. Hit a few of my target's wants, all brews are from Southern Ontario, and ones I thouroughly enjoy, a few have seen the inside of a barrel, and the ones that need to be fresh were all picked up this week.
    Hint: heading in the direction of an ocean.

    Hint: 3 - My shipment is crossing through MB and therefore will be postponed a week :slight_frown:

    To my sender, if the above also applies to you I would prefer to wait instead of taking chances on freezing.

    Now, do I make another batch of swag to "test"...ie eat...:stuck_out_tongue:

    My target's city has 3 or more vowels in the name of the city AND all of the letters within their area code are contained within the last 13 letters of the alphabet.

    Box just got packed. ~220oz. Ready for monday. By the look of the beers in the box, it would have probably made more sense to pack them in a barrel.:wink:

    Been a tough go matching wants and what not, but I've rounded up 5 bottles (+ 2 more bottles I have in mind) plus a growler I plan to get the day I ship. Looking at about 170-180oz. Hope to ship mid next week. Shipping will be quick. Fun stuff.

    Update: I just repacked the box with one more beer (found some space!).
    So, 199oz of liquid happiness!

    Hint 3: The result of the addition of all digits in the street number of my target is included in his/her postal code.

    Just bottled my latest batch of DIPA and it smells AMAZING. There will be a bottle heading to an undisclosed location next week for someone to enjoy as fresh as can be.

    Going by their list, my target is a pretty big fan of beers that are "not my absolute fav styles". Too bad their box doesn't contain any of those... :stuck_out_tongue:

    I had to TinEye my targets avatar to figure out what it was. Turns out it's a pretty cool avatar, I just didn't know.

    Hmmm might have a "good" beer too add, but do I take a GOOD beer out?
