    The Burly was 2010 bottling, the Bourbon Burly bottled in 2010, produced in 2009. As for those two, the Keith's is a year old homebrewed Barley Wine and the Pale Ale is an 8 month old quad. Any feedback is appreciated :slight_smile:

    um, my dude hasn't posted that he received his package.
    it was shipped Wednesday AM. I assume he got it yesterday or on Monday (FedEx shows nadda in my tracking history)

    That's odd. Does it even show that the package was picked up by Fedex?

    its funny...my wife got a call the next morning (from FedEx). they called to say they're verifying her new account.

    i'm looking online (on their shitty website) and i can't find any information involving my package. no tracking #, no invoice/charge for delivery, nothing. its blank.

    not sure if i'm just a nimrod when it comes to navigating that site. but yeah, i have nothing.

    I brought back some bottles for buddies on a recent trip to Portland and told them it won't be the best beer you've ever tried, but will definitely be the most unique you've had. Glad you found it interesting, some seem to despise it.

    By my count 12 of 19 boxes have arrived at their destination. And there are a few other boxes confirmed to be in transit. This is turning out to be a great BIF. :slight_smile:

    Thanks. Phyl21ca has been a great co-organizer and deserves a lot of the credit. It is great that so many people shipped so quickly. This has been fun :slight_smile:

    Sorry for being AWOL, I have a newborn at home, working full time and was out of town here and there. I received my box safe and sound and shipped mine out last week :slight_smile:

    Thanks Sebastien for the great box, sorry I don't know your alias.

    Thanks to the organizers for all they have done :slight_smile: I'll try and post a pic of the box soon.

    You had me worried for a bit haha I thought something might of happened to the box but i'm glad to know it made it safe! I did my best considering i'm from a small town in northeastern Ontario so the states are far enough and we don't get as many of the Ontario brews up here. I do have some Unibroue and Dieu du ciel but I figured you already have easy access to those breweries. Anyways, hope you like em all!
    Cheers!

    Wasn't able to get something I wanted to include until last Saturday, so my box will be going out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Will include a nice piece of swag to make up for it :slight_smile:

    Totally understand, and yes, the Quebec stuff is all around me. I just filled my apartment with more DDC Chaman then I can drink... well, that's a lie :wink: I'm anxious to try your home brews. I have to say you got me into Beau's, and I actually went to the brewery yesterday on my way back from Ottawa - changed an explosive shitty diaper in 30 degree weather on my front seat! The Scotch ale you got me, is that something you found at the LCBO, I can't say Ive seen it before and it has an amazing ratting.

    If you ever think you have too much of the Chaman send some this way :wink: haha! As for the home brews, i'm still new to it so don't expect outstanding beers but I think they came out pretty good considering they are my third and fourth brew. Make sure you keep a bit in the bottom of the bottle when you pour them to avoid getting all the sediment in your glass. Glad you like the Beau's, they're one of my favorite Ontario breweries! And the Scotch Ale was part of the LCBO winter release, I still had a couple of bottles saved up so I figured I could spare one.
