CANBIF Fall 2015: Hints & Hauls

Box received and all intact! Always a plus



Left to right:
Steel & Oak Brewing Sapperton Sour Red Lager
Bridge Brewing Uganda Sipi Coffee Brown Ale
Deschutes Class of 88 Belgian Style Ale
Driftwood Obscurita Dark Sour
Moon Under Water Hip as Funk Farmhouse IPA
Bridge Berliner Weisse Behold the Canpedo
Lower De Boom Barely Wine
Four Winds Apparition
Four Winds Juxtapose IPA
Half Pints Le Temps Noir
Prairie Artisan Ales Prairie Ale
Isastegi Sagardo Naturala Cider
Prairie Artisan Ales Christmas Bomb

I'm guessing this came from Ferris?

Great box and with the exception of the Lower De Boom all are brand new to me! Always great to receive anything from Four Winds, but that's a great sampler of all kinds of styles that should be right up my alley. Thanks again!

 

Glad it all arrived intact, that box has seen better days and I was a bit worried. Just a couple of notes, the cider is meant to be agitated and aerated as poured, surprisingly makes a huge difference and the Le Temps Noir is batch 1 (batch 2 is not out till later this year)

 

Here are pictures from the box I got from Captain Murphy yesterday

Box arrived and picked up today!

Huge thanks to @hopsolutely for this kick arse box of stuff I have yet to try and I am super excited to crack them open. Well done, some nice stuff in here. Looking forward to reviewing these as well.

 

I saw some of the boxes prior to sending mine, and was like " man I gotta bring my A-Game", but giving a box of beer to someone with over FIVE THOUSAND reviews was tough. I'm a proponent of paying it forward and you guys are carpet bombing the country with some really wicked stuff. I don't think I have a duplicate...

I'm super stoked that it got there safe. I contemplated sending a full Paddock Wood Monkey horizontal ( 1000 Monkeys (repeat), Cherry (repeat), MotC, Brettish, and Barrel), but decided to better utilize the space with new things. There are things I couldn't get a hold of that I would have LOVED to have sent, but Black Bridge (and not all of their things) is the only canning/bottling brewery right now and sending 8 growlers is a less than ideal scenario. Unless you want to have a non-stop party.

 

My god, dose boxes!

 

Not too bad for a brewery that turns 1 year old today.

 

Just checked the tracking on my box headed eastward and it looks like delivery is scheduled for Oct 13th! Gotta love Canada Post tracking, you get one status "in transit" for many days, until it's out for delivery.

 

Looks like my target got their box last night...

 

Glad you like the box. I think there's another Evil Twin can in there too which I think you found, since you did say there were 12 + growler before.

I should note the Spindrift lager is their first commercial batch. I heard a rumour that they might tone down the hops going forward.

 

Just found the Evil Twin Hipster Ale in the box. Thanks again.

 

Box scheduled for delivery on election day. There's enough oz in there to either celebrate/drown your sorrows away. Go vote!

 

Typical hipster ale, trying be melodramatic and ironic and all by hiding only to be unveiled at last.

 

parcel went out this weekend! slight delay should be worth the wait, as a couple of really nice beers from a Saturday trade were added. 305oz, 17kg. have a safe journey, beer!

 

Glad it arrived alive! That other Rainhard is True Grit, there was a tag on it but it might be deep in the box of bubble wrap.

 

Canada Post says it should be delivered tomorrow...was processed relatively close to my target on Saturday but work can't happen on Sundays or holidays so tomorrow it is
