    Hmm, my target wasn't home to receive the package. If only he had an Elf to answer the door...

    I'll get in touch with my target since he knows who I am and Canada Post is taking its sweet time delivering my package...

    Unbelievably, the box was finally delivered today. On my last call, they told me it would come today, but I was not optimistic when the tracking info didn't change. Aside from the address being on one line instead of two, there should have been no issue with delivery, it was still very clear where the box was going. Lame that it took so long, but glad that's finally here. Hopefully this ends my string of having delivery issues with the CANBIF. Thanks to @mathieuc for this one!

    Wow, what a box! My sender did a fabulous job of representing the Quebec beer scene, and managed to send me a box of entirely new ticks (with attention to my favourite styles). Most of the beers and many of the breweries are completely unheard of for me, so I am very excited to get into this stuff. This totally represents what the CANBIF is all about. Thanks so much @mathieuc!

    You mentioned not being a fan of smoked beers but at the same time you were saying that any unticked DDC is fair game so I figured it wouldn't be too bad. :stuck_out_tongue: Just noticed that I forgot to remove the price tags on some of them, sorry about that! :stuck_out_tongue:

    OH yeah, definitely not disappointed to see that DDC beer. I don't hate smoked beers, but I have had a number of them that I dislike. All new DDC is a good thing :slight_smile:

    Alright target, you have your door tag and the box is waiting for pickup at the post office. Google maps tells me it is only a 3 minute drive from your house. Let's see that haul pic!

    The Eclipse is 2014 High West Rye, FYI. There aren't really any good local stouts and I'm out of Singularity so I had to go outside of BC to fulfill the last part of your wants:
    "Hey, I like lambic. I also like Smoked Porters and rauchbiers from Germany and Alaska. I also like big-ass stouts above 129 calories per 12oz."

    Hope you enjoy everything! Cheers!

    @yasky killed it with a bunch of really amazing looking bottles and cans that I can't wait to try. Joke's on him though, my CFL team is tied for first (Go Eskies!) Gonna toss these in the fridge and enjoy them on Saturday as Edmonton wrecks Calgary

    By my count there are only 3 boxes left to land?

    Only one beer I've tried in this whole box, and not the provided vintage, so I am humbled by this box to no end. Cant wait to dive into the Four Winds stuff as the only one I've had is the triple, which was the bomb. Very generous, #fulfilled.

    Perfect! It's always tricky to CANBIF without an untappd or reviews to reference, but I figured you wouldn't have had most of them, and if you had, you wouldn't be disappointed.

    FYI, Edna is a pretty special one. One off, limit 2 pp at the brewery only, and sold out in 2 hours. One to be shared / savoured :slight_smile:

    Same here. Darcyk, Erik-P and DaveBar have not received their packages. Senders please contact me if you expect delays.

    Darcyk received his box a while ago. He confirmed it to me by PM.
