Item out for delivery! If only there was a way to map its location (that was a hint!).

 

Just unpacking a fantastically curated box of awesome from mtomlins, thanks Matt!

DdC Solstice d'ete aux framboise - Nice!
BTP Party Animal and Darkness Growlitos! - This is doubly awesome as it serves as a workaround for the moratorium on new growlers that my girlfriend set in place. I love growlers! And i finally get to try BTP, which has been a serious want for a while now!
BTP Nu Saison! - More BTP, this time in bottle. A Chardonay BA Saison sound great!
Le Castor Yakima IPA!!! - Super want, every year I see this in the boxes coming from back east and every year this one eludes me. Already in the fridge.
LTM Hors Series Gose - Another big want
Founders KBS - Love this beer!
LTM Dixieme Black Kriek - Sounds delicious
A La Fut Tripe a Trois Brett - Brett Tripel!!! Is it a tripel with brett trois? Is it a tripel with three strains of brett? Is it something else entirely? However this beer turns out I am really excited!!!
Le Caster Wee Heavy Bourbon BA - I love a BBA wee heavy!
Beau's Bottle Imp RIS - Looking forward to the beer, also in love with the label.
Le Bilboquet BA Mackroken Flower!! - Another BBA wee heavy!!

Just a phenominal box!

 

Wow, awesome box there Taylor. Those are all delicious beers!!

 

My target's box is sitting on their front door step!

 

Box received!





Huge thanks to @VanJamer for nailing a large chunk of my wants as well as two of my favourite Canadian beers (Sartori and Persephone DIPA)! I've not put much effort into getting most of those wants on the Canada Top 50, so I really appreciate that. I'll be very close to having ticked everything when I'm done with these bottles. In fact, I may even have to open one or two of these tonight. Oh, and I did find the Smarties.

As for the hints, one of the first you posted was a repeat from a past CANBIF, so I had a pretty good idea early on. I tried not to say anything and enjoy the rest of them. I even had to look up my username when you mentioned my age, but while I'm most likely the youngest person in this BIF, I'm certainly not 19.....or 13 (!) like a few of those websites said. Hah!

Thanks again!

 

Glad you liked it Taylor! I had a blast pulling it together for you. Cheers!

 

You're in for a treat with Naughty Hildegaard. My favourite BC beer so far this year I think.

 

Damn, I should have looked at previous threads! I hope those all work out for you, although I apologize for the Four Winds Tripilicity. Apparently it's a little past its prime and not tasting nearly as great as it used to.

I tried to find beers you haven't had and I didn't see Persephone in your Untappd or BA beers. But glad you enjoyed it! Lol on the NIN website it said you were 17, I figured it couldn't be right.

 

Never apologize for Persephone DIPA.

Wow, what a killer box there Jonny!! So many great beers there, and so many locals; Vancouver has just exploded ...since I left .

 

I actually had in a bunch of Driftwood Sours, but took them out after I saw you'd already had them.

 

Nice Mathieu! I think we opened ours at the same time

Looks like I'll finally be popping my Bellwoods cherry tonight! Crazy box but I don't know who it's from Narrowed it down to 2-3 people but none make sense with the clues. Anyways... the beers!

Dunham Zonder Goblins
LTM Dixieme
BELLWOODS!
No Sleep Till Brooklyn ET Collab
Phantom Limb

Great stuff! Now who do I thank?!

p.s. I haven't ever had any of these, well done!

 

I just received a box, I'm assuming from @mathieuc! But as I am a grade 3 teacher, I cannot open the box for another hour or so.

 

That would be @PINOT8 who sent the amazing box

 

It was me indeed, hope you enjoy!

 

It's killing me not to open the box yet. It's taunting me!
