    Glad you liked, Kyle, and apologies to your wife! Hopefully she'll get to enjoy some beer while waiting for Amazon!

    I tried to get some good cross coverage of the styles you like. I didn't do the math to realize I put 4 Brett's in there (Crooked Stave, too), so hopefully you don't get Bretted out!

    Aside from the Roman Candle, I was having a hard time finding bottles of fresh hoppy Ontario beer, so I thought I'd level up and grab you a growler. Indie has a counter-pressure fill system, so it should still be super fresh.

    Cheers!

    That's what I did, but I didn't choose expedited.

    I *finally* got my box the the post office. Added in a very obscure want that is rated somewhat lower than the rest of the box, but who am I to judge? It's also an American beer, but it'd be a 72 hour drive to visit the brewery again (only 46 hours for my target!).

    Not the biggest box at 161oz, but well-curated. My target has reviewed a lot of beers, and lives in a province that has one of the best import selections, but I'm pretty sure he'll be happy. Tracking says 10/3 for delivery.

    Ditto! This is the point in the BIF where I start feeling inadequate.

    287 oz are packed and ready to ship Friday. Can't go tomorrow as I have a busy day.

    Two of my beers may not be as appreciated add I hoped by my target as I shopped prior to his posting his beers that he's not a fan of. Whoever gets my box be forewarned there are 3 homebrews in there. A Flanders Red, a saison with spelt and Brett and a 15% Russian Imperial Stout. Don't chug that one back without considering it sheaf of time like my target last BIF.

    Having been a lucky recipient of Ken's homebrews, I can confirm that you are in for a treat

    Box is packed up and ready to ship out tomorrow. Approx 240 oz or around 7100 ml of new and old awesomeness. The Box is heading east to a city that produced one member of Arcade fire, one of the founders of Vice, many curlers and at least one NFL player.

    My target is also receiving some homebrew, namely my honey saison. No awards or anything (I even forgot to slap a label onto the bottle), hopefully my target will like it!

    HaHaHa!! Yah, that was me! I won't say I chugged it, but it went down pretty easily and on an empty stomach while cooking dinner. My only regret was not savorying as it was awesome!

    My box landed on someone's doorstep today. Recipient lives in a town whose name is not pronounced quite the way it looks...
