    194oz of beer and an extra boxed up and ready to ship, as soon as Manitoba warms up.

    Will likely ship Friday, as my work schedule makes things difficult, and it'll be a day off. Could be sooner, we'll see!

    Waiting on one more local (barrel aged) release before my box goes out, perhaps some time next week...

    Have about 140oz picked out so far but need to see what else I can include to up the ante. Hoping to send out later this week

    Hint #3: My favourite Canadian brewery is close to my target...they also make my favourite Canadian beer.

    199.1oz 27lbs just dropped off the the nice FedEx man that reweighed my box... Oh well. On its way. Will be at its destination tomorrow or Wednesday East of here.

    With that news, I might hold off until next week, as my target might be to the west.

    Going shopping today to finish off the box and then shipping tomorrow. Shocking, but by shipment is headed westward!

    As for myself, I too prefer barware over shirts, but I'm happy with whatever someone wants to send me.

    I want to try a wide variety of beers, but I am just not a fan of brown ales or sours. I've updated by "hads" and "wants" but my experience is so limited I'm sure I will be thrilled with whatever comes my way!

    Cheers

    28.5 lbs box picked up by Fedex! Should take 2-3 days to hit the target! :slight_smile:

    Wow, quick shipping times! This should be cool to see some of the first pictures up this week!

    Yeah, I dropped off my box downtown on Friday, checking the tracking number it has been officially processed in Mississauga. It could arrive within the week.

    I looked at the long range weather forecast on the weather network, and temperatures start getting better by Wed, and each day after the rest of the week...

    Is there a website that tracks what beer is available in different parts of Canada? I am debating between a couple of beers to fill out my box, but I would like to know what is already readily available to my recipient. Thanks!

    For which part of the country? That seems to be opposite of the Toronto forecast for this week...

    Not that I am aware of. If you send me a private message I can help you out though.

    Pardon me, not the weather network, environment Canada. How cold is too cold to ship?

    It all depends on the ABV of the beer. With lover ABV stuff, anything below -2C is a risk. Once you get up to the 9%+ ABV range, you are safe up fro -6C or so...

    My package shipped this morning. Would be a 45 hours drive from my home. Hope weather won't be a problem :S
