    I'll be in Portland and Calgary over the next ten days, so while I'm jealous... I'll be having fun too.

    In going back and reading some of the hints from who I believe is my sender, okay so maybe I know, it appears I have been lacking in focus on this BIF with hints and guesses. Here's a new hint. My target has liked one of my senders hint posts. I'm intentionally slacking because there's a new brewery opening in my area with a canning line and I'd like to include beers from them. I'm just not sure if Pizza Port is going to start canning in the time frame of this BIF.

    According to UPS, my target should have received his box at this point!

    Love this haul! Of course I'm an Illinois homer. I see a few similar cans that I'll be sending but I have a few variations as well. Way to represent Illinois!

    Well it was a 12 bottle limit so only a half case. They all went east to a friend who wanted them for part of his gift to his groomsmen. I hope bottled 5/9 is fresh enough for a 6/1 wedding.

    I won't be shipping until next week as I'm still on vacation. I'm stopping at another brewery on the way home so the wait should be worth it.

    Pipeworks is all good. Can't say I have had a single one of their beers that I didn't like. If I had a Raspberry Truffle Abduction, I would have tossed it in. I got my hands on one this weekend after I shipped and it was awesome. FFF - yes, these tend to speak for themselves. Didn't get an Arctic Panzer Wolf til after I shipped, so you lost out on that one too (it's fantastic). :wink: Dragons Milk is one of my personal favs. It's two states over, but maybe it's within 200 miles as the crow flies, so we'll go with that explanation. The guy at Half Acre was making fun of me for buying a half dozen milk stout bombers at the beginning of summer, and suggested beer floats. I think the Camaro would work well for that, if you're so inclined.


    I'd say those are the prominent cans around here. I prefer Anti Hero to Daisy Cutter as an everyday "go to", but many others feel the opposite way. Fortunately you have both so you can make up your own mind. :slight_smile: I was down at the Revolution brewery a few weeks ago and they were hauling in two new large tanks to add to their already sizable operation. They must be doing something right.

    HA! Enjoy.
