CANBIF Spring 2016 - Hints & Hauls

Box has been mailed with approximately 8400 ml.

 

that's not a porch bomb, that's a full on house destroyer. well done kcherney!

 

Box will be heading out tomorrow if I can find a couple more proper bottles/cans to cram into it. Sorry for taking so long, target!

 

I will be shipping out next week...purposely (hint #5)...works out well to do some more shopping!

 

Starting ship date isssss technically today, so I think you're good

 

Photos incoming, but I would like to say HOLY CRAPIOLA is now accepted in the Quebec dictionary. Someone just blew my mind and totally had me forget about the Leafs getting 1st.

 

Box is in the mail!

Hope my target enjoys! Based on past experience I would expect a Friday delivery.

 

Target should get their box in a couple of days, maybe three...

My box arrived today, as luck would have it my second CANBIF and both came from the same shipper! Thanks @CaptainMurphy



List of brews to follow and a glass just off the edge of the screen!

 

Just finished sorting through my box - oh boy, did I get spoiled! My box arrived from Oakville full of Ontario goodness... No hints as to the sender on the label or in the box. Will post pics and a list shortly. I am thrilled with the variety.

To my target...the box is almost ready. I may need to make a trip north or south, depending on how my hunting goes tomorrow. Just looking for a particular barrel aged brew not always available in middle Alberta.

Major Thanks to Chris and Jodie for this beautifully thoughtful and well balanced box.

Now I gotta get mine out, but I am also waiting to Wednesday for a key addition. But not a big change, as the Hint #4 is that this box isn't going very far.

Cheers!

 

Glad you enjoyed!

And, based on my extensive research, I believe I owe a great debt of beer happiness to @msjpearson. Thank you very much - I'm absolutely thrilled with my box.

 

I was so busy reading through the previous posts for hints, I didn't see this reply. And my wife thinks I have a problem...

I will keep you posted as I work my way through the box. Thanks @Phyl21ca for organizing this. What fun!

 

Box was shipped today. Canada post estimates delivery date to be May 11.

Final hint: from google maps it looks like my target is well situated if they ever get a craving for seafood.

 

879.2 Cube qasba are headed East to a city that has 20 items listed on it's Wikipedia table of contents, and is part of a region covering 33,500 km2

 

headiest BIF entry yet.

 

Package "in transit" and expected to arrive May 11th, to a town with a famous children's choir apparently. Gotta love Canada Post's "in transit" status. It will stay like that basically until it arrives.
