CANBIF Fall 2013

They do bombers as well.

 

Beyond the pale growlers are CO2 purged, so unless you drink a sip before shipping, it should last for weeks unless opened.

 

Yep. I've kept a growler of Pink Fuzz for two weeks and there was very minimal drop off. They've had ISG bombers stocked regularly as of late, too.

 

Too bad I didn't know this earlier

 

OK, and we're shipped! 37 lbs of beer heading eastwards. Exhilarating stuff, at least for me (and hopefully also for my target).

 

Alright, 254 oz of beer packed up and ready to ship tomorrow. All BC brews heading east and south to a city I visited in 2000.

 

Some huge boxes going east today!

 

I'm excited to try that one, comes with it's own bag of sea salt!

 

I've been digging Gose's of late. Quite liked 3M's version (can't recall name) and Upright's.

 

I always have a hard time remembering the names of the French beers; 3M's version was called..."Gose"..... ! But you are right, it was awesome as was their DIPA that Sabastien set to me (thanks again man!).

 

Shane and Rob tell people that the shelf life (i.e., the carbonation and lack of oxidation) is about 1 month.

 

Just received a really nice box from Emma (didn't have time to look at it all yet), will post a picture after work tonight! Thanks a lot Emma!

My box will be going out as planned this weekend and will reach someone in "YOW" on Tuesday I believe.

 

Ya don't say!

 

Just returned from a day trip to Buffalo where I got lucky and stumbled upon one of my target's wants (not a regular shelf item in Buffalo).

My box will be packed up over the weekend and shipped west on Monday morning! I have more than 12 bottles that I want to include and a 12 bottle shipper that they are going in. Decisions, decisions....

 

May I suggest two 12 bottle shippers

 

My box is basically ready, everything should is bought and ready I just havent had the time to pack it. It will go out on Monday to one of the 3 Canadian cities to have hosted the Olympics.

 

Awesome box from Emma (what is your BA name?)

Ok...checking my tracking number it would appear that my box should be ready for delivery on Monday.
One not so obvious hint is that the box is destined for the province of BC. Secondly, if when whoever gets it can find no clue as to who sent it....that would be me. I totally left out any clue to name, BA name, address, city.... you get my drift.
So hopefully someone will be happy in BC on Monday.
