    So my box was from Rutager....and holy hell what a box!!! First of all I want to give a big thanks to Rutager for the insane box. Second I will post the pics of it tomorrow, but it contains the following:

    Driftwood Old Cellar Dweller
    Driftwood Belle Royale
    Phillips BA Trainwreck
    Parallel 49 From East Van With Love
    Central City Imperial IPA For Autism
    Stone "Enjoy By 4/20/13"
    Dieu Du Ciel BA Solstice d'hiver
    Russian River Supplication
    HaandBryggeriet Odin's Tipple
    Founders KBS
    Founders Backwoods Bastard

    Again, giant thank you to Rutager.

    Goes without saying that this is a monster of a box.

    Just got back from Grand River (a good beer day, I won a 6 pick of whatever I wanted from the fridge, Curmudgeon bottled today). But the package waiting at home was big indeed, from seblp! Thank you, I haven't tried any of these brews and I've had a couple of boxes from Quebec, and I usually try to hit the dep in Drummondville whenever I head down to Nova Scotia. Here is a pic of the brews, plus some nice glassware, and even though I don't really have any wants listed, there are a few I am very glad to see, the Bourbon Peche and the Cantillon (I have a few Cantillon, but not this one). I will definitely enjoy this and bring a few to some tastings this spring and summer. Thanks Sebastian! These are all new brews to me and I will enjoy and share (I put the Grand River in there to give a little more balance to the picture:wink:) !

    Some great boxes so far! This year's CAN BIF definitely appears to be a notch above last year's so far... keep 'em coming!!!

    As for my box, it will ship out early next week. Was hoping to secure one more local bottle before shipping but I may have to ship without it...

    Glad the box arrived safe! I hope you'll appreciate.
    The 3 IPAs are fresh. Gandhi-Bot is not even 2 weeks old (from beer store to you), Pit Caribou IPA arrived at the beer store Friday and IIRC Catapulte was released last week too.

    Let me know what you think of these beers! Cheers :slight_smile:

    Good job Seb! Glad to see it doesn't resemble mine too much :wink:

    Though i think certain local Quebec beers might be repeated in our packages...
