    Last box still on route, hopefully arrives Tuesday. Unfortunately the recipient @tom10101 is in Belgium now so we won't be getting any pictures

    Hm, mine appears to have been picked up from the post office yesterday without a signature like I requested (pretty sure, anyway).

    Maybe they let my room mate pick it up? Because I just got home from my trip, and it's here! Thanks KeKeKumba!

    Hopefully that growler is okay. Been a few weeks now. Tough trying to sort through your Untappd and cellar list trying to find new beers. Impressive list of ticks...

    I'm sure it'll be fine. Certain wet hops are even better after a couple weeks. Gonna crack it tomorrow (so tired now)

    Box received from schnarr84, thanks Patrick! I'm not home until the end of October so I will post a picture (and a list of what was in the box) as soon as I'm back.

    So another edition of CANBIF is wrapping up. Thanks to everybody that participated. Great packages and great generosity from everybody involved. I like the ratio of local beers that got exchange which is probably a good sign of the improvement of the CDN brewing scene in the last few years.

    Thanks to Damon as well for helping organizing this and we will see you in the spring.

    Not sure if anybody still reads this thread but I would be up for a trade if there is a kind soul in Toronto with access to GL Karma Citra and Thrust and maybe some Bellwoods.

    I still read and would be interested in trades, but currently there's no Karma Citra or Thrust available.

    But in all seriousness thanks to Phil and Damon for setting this all up - its awesome and I look forward to it every year/season. When do we start the winter version with only beers or ice ciders above 12%?

    Thanks to Damon and Phil! Spring and Fall canbif are so much fun and without you two they wouldn't go off nearly as smooth.

    It was a lot of fun to participate in my first one now I'm left anxiously awaiting the spring. Perhaps I should hibernate and stock the cellar in the meantime. However should anyone be up for a (smaller) trade before winter :grinning:
