    Ok, so I owe C.M. A big thanks and bow of respect for the killer freaking box I just recovered off a pile of debris I used to call my porch.

    Details coming but man... Ticks, solid-ass brews and new breweries I hadn't even heard of. Cheers buddy! Made my day.

    Hope you enjoy it, I had a hard time picking stuff out for you as it looked like you don't track your beers on this site and I didn't want to get you stuff you've already had. Alberta doesn't have the best craft beer selections, but we are slowly starting to get there. Tried to give you a few local ones to see what you'd think.

    Box is finally in transit after sitting in a post office for a few days. Boy, I hope that (insert highly regarded IPA that was bottled late last week) lasts the journey. 8 different styles among 12 beer, at least 3 have seen some time in a barrel. Average BA rating for beers in this box: 90. Hopefully this box makes it to Flin Flon (and beyond?) soon.

    My porch got totally destroyed! I'm still unsure who my sender is but thank you so very much! I absolutely love this box! Many new breweries to me. I'm definitely gonna get into some of this stuff over the weekend. [​IMG]

    From left to right:

    Nickel Brook - Immodest DIPA
    Nickel Brook - Malevolent Black IPA
    Innocent - Conscience IPA
    Block Three - King Street Saison
    Bellwoods - Motley Cru
    New Belgium/Perennial - Salted Belgian Chocolate Stout
    Black Oak - Epiphany #2 Imperial Pilsner
    Refined Fool - Ripsnorter Bourbon Porter
    Dogfish Head - American Beauty Imperial APA
    Flying Monkeys - Belle Epoque Belgian IPA
    Black Swan - Wild Child Berliner Weisse
    Black Swan - India Pale Ale
    Royal City - Exhibition IPA

    Also included are Nickel Brook & Three Block bottle openers and some chocolate from Stratford.
    Thank you so much once again.

    As for my box, I'm holding off for the moment since there's a brewery that is suppose to open up early May just down the street from me. I'm really hoping I can include a few brews from them... If not I will have the box out by next Friday the latest.

    Hint #2: If I were to bike 12 hours a day at the average biking speed it would take just over 25 days for my target to receive his box...

    230oz and a few little extras on the move now. This video game I've been enjoying recently requires a lot of Thrust! to get there...

    I have yet to receive by box and, if my target sees this, I will be out of town next week from Wednesday through Saturday and unable to get my box if it arrives during that time period. but my box is being sent to my work, so if it does happen to arrive then, it will be safely set aside for me until I return.

    I'm holding off shipping in the hopes that a certain local brewery will release the latest in a series of special releases during the shipping window (it's bottled & in warehouse, but not out just yet).

    The theme of said series could be described as... religiously avian. :slight_smile:

    Hope you enjoy it. I think it's safe to say that the gourmet oil business is booming in Canada.

    @cfrancis, you'll find that your pictures will be in focus if you stop drinking at work! I know your cellar is temporarily stored there for your move. I know about your poor Oilers. I'm just sayin'...:wink:!
