    Final hint - my target has a beer listed in their "wants" that only comes in 1L bottles, so unlikely ill be able to send one. Instead I think I'll send a Firestone Walker Barrel Aged Velvet Merkin in its place.

    got a few wants checked, but sadly a few of them just come in small bottles! will have to round out the box with something bigger...

    Hint #3: I am very jealous of my target right now for where they are.

    Trying to send out my box tomorrow, finding a box this big is tough!

    Will be delayed in sending my box for a couple days due to work, but there will likely be some better bottles included as a result.

    Box should be delivered tomorrow!

    Hint #6: My target haven't logged in in a while. So I made all those "clever" hints for nothing. :slight_frown:

    My box with 226oz has left on it journey to the most western province. Not sure if it'll make it by Friday, most likely Monday delivery.

    Somewhere between 317 and 323 oz on it's way to Quebec! (I can't remember 2 of the beers I put in…)

    Apologies to your delivery person.

    A clue - Either my targets username or his last name refers to an activity that Buffalo-area people do during the summer. People in the GTA do it too, but call it something different.

    A BOX HAS SAFELY ARRIVED!!!
    Although I am painfully eager, it has been locked away until my own box gets sent.
    That box is now packed and will ship tomorrow - which will likely make tomorrow evening better than Christmas...
    Can't wait!!!!

    Whew! Just got back from 2 weeks in Oregon. Trying to catch up fast but spinning wheels a bit. I've got a box, now to fill it with bottles! My target lives on the north side of a sizable lake and I've cycled really close by in 2011 on a 10,000+km east to west trip.

    If I'm not too late to post likes, they are: Anything barrel aged, porters, stouts and saisons in that order. Barleywines are great too but I seem to have 80 of those in my cellar!

    A thing happened. My box won't be going out until the 6th or 7th, but I'll toss in something I think is nice as penance. So far I'm at 240 planned oz.

    Attempted delivery.

    Someone in the Toronto area should rush back home and get to the post office already.

    WOW!!! What a stunning box of beer! Thank-you, Phil!!
    All new for us except for an absolute favourite... GEORGE in our own home!! =8-o
    So excited to try some real rarities. A full list of the magnificence and a better attempt at saying thank-you will follow. But a picture is worth 1000 words ;-)
