Box delivered to my target!

 

Good thing there is no porch at work. But this box did just demolish the secretary's desk. Big thanks VanJamer for an amazing box. I'll get pics up as soon as lunch is done. I don't want to interrupt my hour off....

 

Is that you VanJamer?

 

Yup! Hope you enjoy, tried my best to send all new!

 

Woohoo!! I just had a box arrive, but no idea who it's from, other than someone in Ontario!

 

So my target has a box of great craft beer heading to a very solid (rhymes with w#$/l) location. Cant make the hint to easy

 

I think I heard it was Yasky who sent to me?

I'll send a more detailed list when I don't have children in my classroom and can take a closer look at all the bottles. Just snapped some quick pics at lunch.

Great box, have had 4 of them before, but I recall them all being good! Excited to enjoy them all soon!

 

dang all these great boxes... hoping to get mine to the post office tonight! Possibly with a brand new special brew...

 

Was just going to post that VanJanmer has a delivery but it looks like she already knew that!

 

A lovely box from KeKeKumba just arrived! Had a feeling it was coming from you.

Thank you so much!

 

The Bellwoods is great, I had the Coffee Framinghammer and loved it, I have had Nein, but for some reason my checkin was deleted from Untappd, and I still have a bottle of L'Exorciste as we get quite a bit of DDC here. But I'm curious to compare Nein to the smoked Hef and dunkel we do at my brewery.

 

Here's the list of beers I received.
Indie Alehouse Breakfast Porter
Indie Alehouse Barnyard Belgian IPA
Bellwood Barn Owl Batch #3
Surely Nein Ale
Jolly Pumpkin/Upland Persimmon Ship
Jacks Abby Coffee BA Framinghammer
DDC L'Exorciste
Fulton Brewing War & Peace coffee stout
Great Lakes Octopus Wants To Fight IPA
Great Lakes Bourbon BA Imperial Solstice Stout
Nickel Brook & Sawdust City Imperial Saison
Riverton Ojos Negros

 

Oh man. Went to the post office to pick up a crazy amazing box from Hal Hickey. 16 huge beers, all but one new to me (Singularity, and I'd never turn down another bottle) and even some completely new breweries that I've never sampled. My itch for sours was definitely scratched and even a couple of oatmeal stouts, which I can't get enough of.

Top row:
Off the Rail, Into the Black Stout
Highwater, Campfire Stout
Townsite, Barrel Aged Perfect Storm
Fuggles & Warlock x Powell Street, Hikari (big want!)
Four Winds, Nectarous (my biggest want!!!)
Driftwood, De Auras (another big want!)
Driftwood, Singularity
Parallel 49 Sour White

Bottom Row:
Powell Street, Whiskey Barrel Aged Porter
Four Winds x Trou du Diable Exil D'Eden (whoa!)
Red Racer, IPA for Autism
Melvin, 2X4 DIPA (yes!)
Melvin, IPA
Aslan, Batch 15 IPA
Old Abbey Ales, Sour Raspberry (haven't even heard of this brewery. Neat!)
Parallel 49, Apricoptopus

Thank you so much, Hal, you sent one bad-ass box! Great job!

 

You weren't kidding! I did like the Heady Topper STICKER though.

Awesome package:

 

Couldn't wait until Saturday to ship as it turns out. So instead packed up 1.27 stone of beer... Should arrive early next week!

 

(Total noob on this forum.)

How do I sign up for the next CANBIF? Looks like a blast!

Cheers!

 

Keep an eye out on the Canada forum. Theres usually quite a bit of time between when its posted and the deadline to get your name in.. as we're in the process of one, might be a bit of time till the next though

 

Glad I put the Phaedra in there, it was on the chopping block initially, but it's really tasty! Figured you might have already had. Maison is a new recipe as well.

 

Targets package is still stuck at processing facility and delivery date has not been updated. Gahhhh!
