CANBIF 2013 Hints & Hauls

Accordring to Canada Post our item item remains in transit I was really hoping it would arrive today.

 

Canada Post is funny like that.

Last time I got a beer box through CP it arrived at 6am... I don't get it.
Their tracking system kinda stinks too.
"close enough for government work"

 

Well, I pulled out my box and finally took account of my inventory.

10 of the 12 bottles are in there as I type, with up to 2 more to acquired tomorrow along with some potential swag. This will be a 100% "Manitoba" brewery box.

As for hints... Hmmm.... The location to which I will have sent it has had a few famous people (at least to me). One of these famous people is considered by Wikipedia to be a major innovator.

I will likely ship Tuesday, likely for a Friday / Monday delivery.

 

I'm trying to drink down my cellar and curtail my spending on beer but I can't quit cold turkey and this along with a trade every couple of months sure adds up...my cellar looks no emptier...I think I could easily not buy anything for a couple of years and still be fine.

 

I will gladly accept donations

 

Yeah, i've been drinking new stuff in between as well as some trades. Wasn't like a goal or anything but i kinda just looked recently and said: "Hey, where'd all my beers go?". Now i'm itching to fill it again to the great dismay of my wallet and the Mrs.!

 

Ok, now I'm curious - how much do people have in their cellars? We are currently sitting on 118 (hopefully a lot less by the end of the weekend!).

 

Was well over 80. Now sitting at 5 (my bigfoot vertical lol)
My fiancee doesn't drink so it was all for me to enjoy, unless my brother wanted a sample.

 

Oh the shirt fits fine, no worries! Also, I forgot to mention the Rogue Chocolate Stout that you included, which is awesome! My fiancee isn't as much of a beer person as myself, but she does enjoy stouts a lot, so you definitely have her covered there. I showed her the Breakfast Stout and BCBS and her reply was "... so those are good?" Hahaha, she'll see when I crack them open!

Hints for the package I sent out today: you'll pray to God in heaven when you see realize that every beer you receive is from Quebec.

 

My wife laughs when I call it a cellar. I agree, it is more of a hoard.

Drank a large chunk prior to moving to Canada. Didn't want to deal with customs.

 

Yeah, I stash my bottles on the floor of my closet-like pantry. Hoard, I like that... Whenever I open it up I feel like some sort of drunken, covetous dragon.

 

So I just did a quick invintory and I have around 84 bombers and 750' s and about 14 cases of regular size. I don't have a drinking problem, I have a buying problem

 

It will go up a case as soon as Chimay Blue is at the LCBO

 

NERD ALERT: We started tracking ours on CellarHQ - listed under our dog's name.

 

Over 400 bottles, closer to 500. Yes, I have a problem and like papat444 my wife is never impressed with my beer buying/trading.

 

We might need to have some trding discussions

 

I'm making an effort to tie up all of the trades I've committed to over the winter and drink down some of this mess over the summer. Hit me up in the fall and I'll probably be back at it.

 

Sounds like a plan

 

My "stash" is puny compared to some of you, barely in the double-digits... I'm a poor teacher on contract I couldn't even imagine having that much beer at once!

 

My cellar (it literally is now that I made a cold room in the basement is around 60 bombers/750s and 60 little bottles. This includes about 24 homebrews for aging... If you add in my newfound love for making sours the cellar will soon explode as I have over 20 gallons of wilds/sours & a RIS to bottle
