CANBIF Spring 2015 - Hints and Hauls

WOW huge thanks to @yasky for this box! I got the Canada Post slip yesterday in the mail as I missed it and it was killing me all yesterday and today to pick it up. Rushed home to open it up and honestly I'm shocked how generous you were with all the amazing beers you packed in here! Every single one of these is brand new to me and I can't wait to start cracking these open!!

Glad the box got there safely Corson!

He nailed 2 specific wants in Focal Banger and Everett, a bunch of unspecific brewery wants, and killed it with everything else. All are new to me except Sip of Sunshine.

I feel incredibly lucky, thank you so much. Going to pay this forward to my target for sure...

 

After an unsuccessful extended negotiation with Fedex over the phone, I was forced to drive out to the Hinterland for the box, but holy crap I sure didn't mind. I couldn't even wait, I put it in the trunk and opened everything right then and there and spent the drive home squealing like a kid on Christmas morning.

 

My god, that is an absolutely amazing box. Hats off to The Seven Duffs!

I unfortunately missed my box this morning, I've been harassing my post office all day but alas, it won't be available for pickup until tomorrow after 1PM. I'm feeling a lot like a kid on Christmas eve right now, don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight, can't freakin' wait!

 

Wow !!! It's an East Coast, West Coast battle; @Kump and @TheSevenDuffs, those are amazing boxes!!

 

Sorry for all the FedEx issues. They've been attempting to deliver since Friday. Just happy it made it to you and even more happy to see that you love the contents!

Also, I think the 5 Golden Rings I sent you is the bourbon barrel aged version. Enjoy!

 

Don't worry about it man, it was just unlucky timing with my trip. If the box arrived one day earlier or one day later, there would have been no issues at all. Just happened I wasn't home for 3 delivery days in a row, but was home on the days on either side of it.

Really appreciate you hitting so many of my wants! Did not realize that about the Five Golden Rings, thank you so much for everything!

 

That's truly an incredible box. Patrick, you are indeed insane.

 

Welp, I received an absolutely mind blowing box today... I truly can't put it into words how excited I was opening this thing up just seeing gem after gem after gem, absolutely insane! Craig (@KeKeKumba) you are a gentleman, a scholar, ...and a mindreader apparently, hit so many big-time wants of mine! Can't thank you enough for all the awesome stuff you sent my way, a huge cheers to you man!

FedEX tried again today and we had some success! I still don't know who this is from, but thank you thank you thank you!

I assume you're a student at Niagara? That would explain the Hop Prospects.

All of these are new to me and I'm excited for every single one. Cheers!!!
