    Cool, I was getting suspicious of that signature time and hoping that it was actually you that signed for it!

    I didn't do very well with the low alcohol request, or your suggestion of sending a bad beer last year... but I think I hit most of your other suggestions (and threw in a couple of brews just because they're good). I haven't actually tried the two saisons, so hopefully they measure up!

    Hint #2 - My box has not left yet but will be going out very soon. My target has pretty good access to pumpkin beers.

    Very jealous of all these BC boxes.

    Still no sign of my box and none of the hints have led me to any suspicions yet!

    In reading over the hints I have two possibilities, but I wouldn't bet a beer on them!

    My box finally arrived in Montreal, so I'm betting on delivery today or tomorrow.

    Somewhere east of Vancouver, 25 minutes from Richmond and in the 3rd largest city in BC a box awaits. Hopefully fully in tact!

    God do I love the CANBIF!

    Just received a stellar box from Jay (boney77 I believe). Can't thank you enough man, you knocked it out of the park!

    From L to R:

    Bellwoods Double Jutsu
    Bellwoods Lambda
    Nickel Brook Malevolent
    Jolly Pumpkin Innovator Man
    Nickel Brook Uncommon Element
    Sawdust City Spooky Action
    Prairie Artisan 3rd Anniversary Ale
    Burdock Brett Lime
    Avery Tweak
    Anchorage The Tide and Its Takers
    Nickelbrook Immodest
    Bellwoods Barn Owl Blend No. 3
    Bellwoods Barn Owl Blend No. 1

    All but one beer is new to me (Tweak... which just so happens to be a personal favourite), crossed a few off my 'wants' list, and nailed my style preferences right on! Cheers Jay!

    I got no clue still. I have read all the posts and when I thought I was getting closer, BOOM, someone got a box then back to the drawing board! :grinning:

    Finally had a chance to open up my box, and whoa, whoa, whoa...stop the clock.

    From L: Bomber Russian Imperial Stout, Red Racer Super Stellar Ipa, Melvin IPA, Moody Ales Affable IPA, Ground Control Imperial Stout, Gigantic Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout, Fuggles & Warlock Cannon IPA, Four Winds Operis Brett Saison

    Thor's Hammer Bourbon Barrel Aged, Driftwood Twenty Pounder Double IPA, Black Butte 27th Ann'y, The Abyss 2015 Reserve Barrel Aged, Four Winds Nectarous, and Steel & Oak Titian.

    Plus some fine chocolate as well. Couldn't be happier with this haul. A great selection of beers that I have yet to try. I cannot wait. Thank you so much to my sender. I think it may be halhickey but I'm not 100% certain. A definite home run with this box. Thanks again!

    Glad you liked, Cameron. Spooky Action has, maybe, the best beer label ever. I knew that was going to be saved for CANBIF. Enjoy!

    Also, came home to find a Canada Post slip.....from BC, me thinks. I will have to duck out of work early tomorrow to pick it up. Excited!

    Based on the hints I thought it was from westcoastbeergeek. Initially hoped he was sending to me but the children choir crushed my dream (At least I learn there was a famous children choir in Oakville...)

    Yup, that's the Twenty Pounder. Awesome label. It can't get cold fast enough!

    More awesome boxes going around! I was on vacation and out of cell service, I'm wondering if there might be something waiting at the post office for me tonight... I should be home before it closes at 9 PM!

    Meh, all my hints suck. Target has gone silent on some beer checkin website. Perhaps tomorrow he will have some new beers to check in...you know, if Canada Post doesn't blow it yet again.
