CANBIF - From the Cellar, 2023!

Upon returning from lunch I found a surprise waiting for me!

01. Little Beasts Fenrir
02. Parsons Rum Brûlée
03. Lake of Bays Barrel-Aged Series: Oak Aged Foeder Ambler Ale
04. 5 Paddles The Longest Night
05. Tilted Glass Wistful (Bourbon Barrel Aged)
06. Third Moon The Chocolate Monacle
Bonus: Island Bar (Chocolate Covered Coconut)

Nice mix of brews, all new to me and many others. First time I get to sample a renamed Manantler brew as well. A Triplebock and a Foeder Aged Amber Ale.. cool! The bonus chocolate bar is right up my alley... think I'm down to my last Prestigio bar from Chile, I'll have to see how it compares.

With only a little investigation required, I can deduce that my sender is none other than Electros himself.
So thank you for this awesome assortment!

 

I got my package today. Early-stage arrival was a pleasant surprise. Lots of old good dark classics. And I believe shouts should go to @tbadiuk

I had a nice surprise returning home today. I found a big box at my front door with the unmistakable return address label of @tbadiuk. I’ve traded with Ted several times and was very happy to see his name of the box. Here are the contents:



A great assortment of classics and new-to-me beers:

North Belgian Dark Rye Ale ‘18
De Struise Cuvée Delphine from 2012 (!!!)
Surly BA Darkness ( I can never find the year on these)
Goose Island BCBS 2017
Devil May Care Bad Botch Baltic Porter.
Tempest BBA Mexicake

Thanks Ted. Can’t wait to dig in!



To my target: I’m perusing your UT account, going through your many ticks, trying to find an all new box for your enjoyment. I plan to send next week. Cheers!

 

My receivers box , who I have both sent to and gotten beer from, is off and away on its long trek across the country.

 

To my target, I have lived in your province & city for many years and had a great semi-private beer shop that got me introduced to craft beers.

Your wants will be met, no doubt about that.

 

My target's box will be heading west (no surprises there) this week... your city has a geographical land feature whose name is shared with a variety of a certain type of fruit. Not a ton of big beers around my area right now, but hopefully what I've procured will hit the spot! I'll toss in a homebrew or 2 as well-- recently bottled an imperial stout/barleywine blend, as well as a bochet-style mead.

 

(to clarify, the homebrews will be "extras", not included in my volume tally)

 

A package is sent, 1400km outwards, to a polar opposite street that I used to live on in the same city.

 

My target's box went out over the weekend to start its ~1000km journey west. The delivery time was quoted as 4 business days, so I suspect it ought to land Friday. That being said, there have been many roads and bridges damaged and/or washed away in the past few days with all of the flooding, so it wouldn't surprise me if it takes slightly longer than 4 days.

Cheers!

 

Can you see the pic, everyone? A nice package from electors!

Great delivery but there is no picture

 

Another hint for my target: I've camped at a national park in your province, which is at the tip of a peninsula, and has at least one lighthouse. I found wild hops growing in this park!

 

My targets box arrived yesterday, according to Can Post. Check your “community mailbox, parcel locker or apt./condo mailbox” as they put it!
