CANBIF Spring 2016 - Hints & Hauls

Hint#5- Looks like the box has passed through Winnipeg already, it might make a brief stopover in Ontario but that’s not where it’s going to end up, sorry Ontario.

 

Hint #3: My box was packed up and shipped yesterday to a town with a very long name.

 

I am definitely in the game for this one

 

Came home today to quite a surprise on my porch and based on his hint at post #129 of this thread, I believe I have LarryAppleton to thank! Burlington, Ontario not Vermont . Perhaps "only" 235 oz, but I'll take quality over quantity! And certainly some solid styro-engineering of the bottle shipper.



From left to right we have:

DDC Dernière Volonté Réserve Spéciale En Fût De Pinot Noir
DDC Solstice D'été Aux Cerises
Bourbon County Brand Stout (2014) (!!!!)
Dunham Deze Monnik Is Dronken
New Holland Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel Stout
Dunham Assemblage No. 1
Benelux Chronique de Mars
Les Trois Mousquetaires Saison Brett
Les Trois Mousquetaires Grande Cuvée Porter Baltique - Fûts de Bourbon et Brandy
AUVAL Grisette #2
AUVAL Arcane 17
AUVAL Guerilla SSS Triple Stout
AUVAL Super A

It is going to be tough letting this haul last through the weekend! Can barely decide which to try first. Thanks again to my sender!

 

I don't think my target has posted in this thread yet!
Maybe I should check some other site...

 

Or today! Now, to open it...

 

/me WAITS IMPATIENTLY

 

Hah. I saw the box on my way out the door for a late lunch. But I'm home now, so...



Since I cut some of the dates off, here's the list from top left to bottom right:

Four Winds Nectarous
Four Winds / Trou Du Diable Exil d'Eden
Powel Street Brett Saison
Parallel 49 RIS (2013)
Bridge Side Cut IPA
Driftwood Twenty Pounder
Moon Under Water Oud King Crow
Vancouver Island Hermannator Ice Bock (2014)
Yellow Dog Play Dead IPA
Modern Times Booming Rollers
De Molen Bommen & Granaten
De Garde Grand Rouge
Logsdon Far West Vlaming
Upright Anniversary Saison
Breakside Wanderlust IPA
Humboldt Black Xantus

Thanks for the excellent box! I've only had one of these before, and now it has a killer new label. A few big wants in Nectarous, Play Dead, and De Garde. And then a whole spew of PNW goodness that I can't wait to get into. You did very, very well considering I basically just said 'send whatever'.

As for my target, I have the box all outlined, just need to pick a few things up this weekend before it goes out hopefully on Monday. Hints to come then.

 

Wow! What a box!!

 

Thanks for destoying my porch @Phyl21ca, you're welcome to destroy it any time you want .

From right to left:



Timmermans - Oude Kriek (Limitied Edition)
Ma Brasserie - Tribale Pale Ale
Evil Twin - I Love You With My Stout
Mikkeller - Beer Geek Vanilla Shake
Dieu du ciel! - Equinoxe Du Printemps (BBA)
HopEra - Trizo
Nøgne Ø / Kissmeyer - Naked Kiss
Trou du Diable - Dulcis Succubus
Trou du Diable - L'Ours
Dunham - Gouden Meyer
Les Trois Mousquetaires - Grande Cuvée Porter Baltique (Bourbon & Brandy)
Brasserie Dupont - Triomf

I can't thank you enough for this fantastic box! You've nailed some of my long time wants and all of these are new to me with the exception of LTM Porter Baltique but come on, who would say no to that ! Thanks again for organizing all of this Phil! I can't wait to dig in.

For my target, I am awaiting a release at a new brewery... Once I add that to the box it'll be on it's way.

 

I think I received my box today at work but I was "unfortunately" away on a beer run. I will try to go pick it up tomorrow, can't wait to see what's inside! I figure it is for dabeerbuddah but will be able to confirm tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

 

Finished my shopping today, got everything ready to go. I'll pack it all up on Sunday and ship it out on Monday

Hint #4: Looks like I was able to send all new to you brews except for two (which I'm sending anyway). One you haven't had since 2013 and the other one you've had the 2013 & 14 versions, but not the 2015 version (at least this is what my detective work tells me).

 

The IPA that I wanted didn't come in, so I subbed a Wild IPA and dropped it at the post office. They said 7 business days, but I think it could be there for next weekend.

Hint #5: It's headed to the province that I was born in.

 

Great boxes so far!

Will be sending off my box this weekend. I hopefully managed to get my target all new bottles and couple of his wants.

Hint #3. You you live 6 blocks away from where I used to live. You could say my old local beer bar, and maybe your current, follows a rotating path.

 

After sending my last hint, I realized that practically everyone outside of Ontario will be sending to Ontario and also be receiving from Ontario. (Sometimes I overlook the obvious). So yeah... I just dropped off a package that's headed to Ontario!

 

Hint #4: My target's box will go out Sunday or Monday and will be delivered to a porch that is nearby an area influenced by a southwest Irish County.

 

Awesome box by first-timer dabeerbuddah! Full list later! Lots of new breweries in all kinds of styles with a lean toward my favorite ones! Thanks man!

 

I'm very happy and relieved you approve! Went through your lists and I think all of these are ones you haven't had. Not that easy. LOL. Hope you enjoy drinking them as much as I enjoyed putting the box together. Cheers!

 

Bomb's away! One box heading east! Couldn't get too many of your requests but got nearly a half dozen of the want's taken care of!

Enjoy the swag/add on.
