    I don't know. We're off to a great start. I'm always worried my box doesn't meet the standard.

    Alright, I'm home and planning the box right now, soooo…

    Hint #5: One of my target's likes/dislikes is a tad ironic

    Final hint: My target recently reached an interesting milestone on one of the main beer rating website.

    240 oz leaving tomorrow, 75% of it is local (if Vermont is considered "local", otherwise I might be banned from future canbif for not respecting the "50 % local" rule). Only 2 beers that my target has already ticked are included in the box, both of which he has given a perfect score. :slight_smile:

    220 oz packed up and ready to head due west tomorrow morning. The 12 slots in my box are: 5 Ontario, 5 Vermont, 2 California. God speed...

    I interpret the "local" rule to be 50% of the minimum requirement of 110-150 oz, so as long as 55 oz is local, you are good!

    Also, I highly doubt that a single person in this BIF would complain about Vermont being considered local :sunglasses:

    275 oz packed up and heading shipping out ON Wednesday.

    Hint 6 (and probably final): My target has liked at least one of my hints and participated in at least one other CANBIF

    247 oz on their way to my target. Should arrive on Friday. 12 bottles and 2 cans, 9 local, 5 from the US, half have felt the warm embrace of a barrel. I hope my target likes them as much as a certain old school Labatt product (hint).

    245oz of goodness packed up in the shipper and will be dropped off at the post office tomorrow evening. Total of 11 bottles and 2 cans. 6 local (AB and BC) and remaining 7 from the US.

    Hint #4: the receiver of this box could have been either cheering for one of two Canadian teams in the first round of the playoffs.

    I consider anything between cleveland to toronto to be my local. Except flying bison, shipping their beer put is probably an act of treason.

    Box is waiting on one more bottle!

    If only my favourite Ottawa brewery would stop selling out of beer Saturday mornings so I could fill these last few slots with some fresh IPA's...

    I also see my favourite Ontario beer from my favourite Ontario brewery has yet to be ticked by my target. I'll have to change that...

    Seeing my target post around this forum is a constant reminder of a video game I've been enjoying as of late. A simulator of some sorts...

    A last minute change before surrendering the box to Canada Post this week-end to add another fresh IPA.

    Hint #5: The photos should be great !

    Looks like we'll see a bunch of hauls landing this week... can't wait to see the pics!

    This should include mine, which is set to arrive at its destination on Friday (major hint there).
