    Picking up my 12 bottle shipper from my friends tonight finally! Feeling bad that I've been ready to ship since Friday but didn't have the time to get the box. Hoping to blow my target away!

    Just opened a box that crushed every single bit of expectation I had. Dammit, what a box.

    And since I am the worst at Internet, I have no pictures, but here is the content:

    Deschutes Black ButteXXVI
    Giggle and Warlock Hikari
    Brewster Inperial Stout
    Wild Rose Czech Pilsner
    Tilquin Gueuze
    Driftwood Entangled
    Driftwood Twenty Pounder
    Blindman Kettel Sour #1
    Troubled moon Homesteader Saison
    Dageraad Single Batch 10
    Breakside Wanderlust
    Four winds Juxtapose
    Freemont Dark Star

    Dammit, that's one hell of a box for Canbif. Thanks again Cameron!

    No worries David! Just a heads up, the Tilquin has a few years of age under its belt and the Dark Star & Brewster's Stout are BBA. Cheers!

    By style, I sent at least one of each of these:
    Imperial Stout
    IPA
    Sour DIPA
    DIPA
    APA
    Pils
    Session IPA
    American Pale Wheat
    American Blonde


    My target seems to have tried some of the more hyped up recently released IPAs from Ontario, but I hope said target is happy with they're box. I'm too poor for whalez (bro) but I still think I threw in some of the better beers that represent the Ottawa area beer scene.

    Box is packed up and it will be mailed out tomorrow morning. Freshened up the IPAs over the past couple days as well. It contains primarily, a mix of styles my target has indicated they prefer (sour, brett, IPA) and a couple other beers for variety.

    Hint the Final: I am sending to a province that I have never sent to in a CANBIF, and in a direction I haven't sent before either...

    I've narrowed down 3 possible people sending me beers. I was dead cert that CaptainMurphy was sending my way based on how many houses in my area have pools!

    Speaking of the East Coast gotta start booking some sites for the annual summer road trip. Grimross will make a nice pit stop before I head into Halifax I think.

    I have absolutely no clue at all this round who is sending to me. But beer surprises in life are better then audits or bill surprises!

    Box has reached Montreal today but still has a bit of a way to go on its journey. Expected delivery is Friday!

    I was also wrong on my count. It's 279 oz in 16 vessels. Quantity over quality? Target west of Saskatchewan shall be the judge.

    After two straight days of rennos, I can barely lift the box that landed on my porch yesterday. Still trying to figure out who it came from, but it is packed with some scrumptious looking Bellwoods! Pictures and details shortly.

    Last Hint: My target's box went out today via expedited Canada Post. It will land on a porch just southeast of a cemetery which is co-located with a castle.
