    I guess they are alright if you like those kinds of beers... :grinning:

    They are all new except one. I have never had a Westy, and that is going to happen this weekend!

    I will rate here on BA everything you sent. Cheers, thanks again!

    Looks like there was a delivery attempt, but Canada Post didn't leave anything but a delivery notice :angry:. The box is available for pick tomorrow pm; unfortunately, I am on a plane tomorrow am, so there it will sit until next Tuesday :slight_frown:.

    The box that refused to go out has finally been dropped off (two days off from work and sick in bed prevented anything beer related)...but its in the mail and should finally arrive next week! Yahoo!

    Glad you like the box. I originally intended to put some local hoppy beers in, but the box got away from me.

    "Got Away" in a more biblical sense than most, especially with the "white whale" analogy...
    I'm still truly flabbergasted!! Thank-you. Looking forward to every single bottle.

    How many boxes actually contained more than 50% Canadian beers? Had an idea with a few other BCers to do a SouthOfOurBorder-BIF (ok we need a better name)...

    Could be a lot of fun! Would likely be a much smaller group though.

    It has been a while since there was a USA/CANBIF, I would be down for it.

    I don't think that will ever work again. Too risky for Americans to ship through our border.
