    I'm on the GoTrain, and coincidently I'm off to Grand River tonight for a bock tasting. I'm trying to convince the train driver to just skip a few stops, but no luck.

    All these beers look tasty, and the barware will be useful!

    What a start!!!

    I have one of those bottle openers (the blue one) from Tree and it is the best thing ever for waxed bottles. Never have to chip away the wax, just dig in hard and pop it open. Couldn't be easier!!

    I have to apologize for the lack of whales... Hard to ship them when you drank them all (long story)
    The Smashbomb is super fresh (end of March) so drink it first.
    I just had my last 2010 Bigfoot and it's drinking excellent right now so drink it or save it.

    Even more excited that it survived the trek. I haven't warmed up to the wine shippers yet but this is a good step forward.

    This is an awesome box and I would be super stoked to receive it. All this whale talk (myself doing the most) is not the point of this BIF at all. I'm actually feeling a little bad that my box isn't more Canadian after seeing this, so many awesome brews made right here in Canada. It's just too easy to get caught up in all the American stuff on this site.

    Plus BNL is a Canadian whale in my books. I'm dying to try that one!!

    My package definitely won't be going out until next week at the soonest, but:

    My recipients phone number (including the area code) adds up to a prime number including or between 37 and 43.

    You're kidding? It's an awesome box!
    And for me there is some whales in it too! BNL, 2010 Bigfoot (which I've never tasted before) and even Matador.
    I'll appreciate each and every of these beers, and my brothers too since I split almost every beer I try with them :wink:

    Oh, and the box arrived safe. Nothing seemed to have moved at all!

    I usually make my trade brews a family affair as well sharing them with my Father. We usually sample some over the course of a few months when my parents come over for diner. I usually keep the sample brews a surprise which is always fun!

    Off to a great start. First time I have seen the Flying Monkey logo. Definitely a fan.

    I'm all packed up and ready to ship once the weather clears.
