    "Item successfully delivered to recipient's front door"

    Someone in Ontario has a package waiting for him at home. :slight_smile:

    I must admit that when I saw that the box is staying on my target's porch, I took a look with google street view to see if the area seems safe for a poor lonesome box of beers... :stuck_out_tongue:

    Huge thanks to @tom10101 for an amazing box of beer goodies and edible extras. None of your hints really registered with me until the last one which I figured could be my 1000 unique on Untappd. Anyway, the haul...

    Lawson's Maple Barrel Aged Fayston Maple Stout

    Lawson's Sip of Sunshine

    Not pictured because I started eating it while going through the box: beef jerky from La Bete.

    Besides the two cans (that I'll gladly take any time), all of these are new to me. The Schramm's sample and Zombie Dust are particularly exciting as they're both long time ticks I should have had by now but for some reason don't. The HF bottles will be great in this nice weather and I'm real glad someone finally sent me their homebrew in a CANBIF.

    Thanks again, I'll get through a bunch of these this weekend!

    That's an atomic porch drop!

    If you've never had any Trillium, you are in for a treat. Dare I say the DDH Sleeper Street might even be the best of the best of that box.

    Well done Tom! I keep thinking that no one will be able to match the last amazing box that landed and the next one always does!

    Last seasonal acquired today. Will be going out tomorrow to a city that is sad because their team is out of the playoffs.

    What a great box from St. Jean sur Richelieu! I'm especially thrilled about the beers from my wants list that help me try more from the Canada Top 100! I'm not sure who the sender is, but thank you very much.

    BA Solstice D'Hiver is maybe my favourite Canadian beer. Another incredible box. Way to go everyone, some incredible generosity here.

    Mine's still siting in the post office apparantly - Whomever handled Ian's box must be taking a working holiday in the Falls.

    That was a bottle on the Canada top 100 I never thought I'd get to try.

    I've never de-ticked so many beers from my wants list in one sitting. The generosity is indeed incredible.

    Cheers!
