Awesome package of beers, some favourites and many new brews. Love CANBIF! Thanks for organizing everything.

 

Forgot Dmeters Harvest

 

I think I got you as a target two years in a row? Please post up a pic if you get a chance!

ps: Burlywine is a 2010 I believe, the notes on here for it are missing red as 2010 along with blue.

 

I have a pic but what is the easiest way to post? Do I have to sign up for an account?

Forgot a nice key ring as well.

 

You can upload to a place like this: http://postimage.org/

Then click on the little Insert/Edit Image icon in the toolbar for the textbox (2nd row, 4th one from the right) and copy the URL you get from postimage.org

 

Here is a list of the beers that were in the kick-ass box that I received from tbadiuk

2011 RIS - Founders
2009 Burly Wine - Half Pints
Demeters Harvest - Half Pints
Les Temps Noir - Half Pints
Noche De Los Alebrijes - Half Pints
Isolator - Half Pints
Kona Imperial Stout - Fort Garry
Portage and Main IPA - Fort Garry
2011 The Abyss - Deschutes (Hells Yeah, big want)
2011 BCBS - Goose Island (Say what?)
Barrel Full of Monkeys, Cherry - Paddock Wood
Gnomegang - Ommegang and La'Chouffe

Plus a Half Pints coaster.

Insane box. Knocking off quite a few wants. I have only had 1 beer off this list, but I can't wait to try each and every one of this. Can't thank tbadiuk enough.

I will try and post a pic when I get home tonight.

 

Sorry about that guys. I thought I had arranged the targets such that no one was receiving form the same person as the last CAN BIF. I am not sure how this happened to be honest. We had someone drop out of the BIF at the last minute (literally the last minute) and we had to shuffle around some of the targets, so that is probably what allowed this to happen...

And no worries on Ted sending to me again - great beers as usual!

 

Doesn't seem to like my image upload

Here is the pic

 

I think I can see it? Here let me try:

 

Jim, there should be a little key-ring guy taped to the Gnomegang for you as well...

 

Found it in the bubble wrap, must have come off when I was tearing into it. Thanks again. It's the box that just keeps giving

 

Box is out it'll be there early next week, I've given enough clues that the recipient already knows who they are I'll assume...

 

Thanks to everyone who organized and participated in this. It was a lot of fun! So much so, I think I'll start plotting for next year's box...

 

Well, it's either me or the other guy that's left!
