CANBIF Spring 2016 - Hints & Hauls

No comment

 

I would be interested in a regular on the west coast as well.
I have a little Belgium and access to Bellwoods and GLB plus.
Let me know if you are game.
Cheers.

 

I think I got messages from about 8 people, but I know several of my BC beer friends would be interested in getting an Ontario trading partner.

 

Great. Looking for a regular partner. I know the high rankers are probably taken. I'm new and looking to make an impression. I don't want to win. Just trade with a fellow junkie.
Cheers!

 

Sweet box from @pushkinwow I can only assume based on our interaction here

Just opened it a few minutes ago, love the inclusion of the boston round growlers (will be drinking those tonight and tomorrow). Exactly what I was hoping from from the BIF, a good selection of stuff that can't really get here, all new to me bottles and a good mix of styles. Interesting enough, I passed on the Mill Street BW a few years back and never saw it return to BC so that's amazing that it was in the box! Also, nice work in the 2008 Aardmonnik, that's a cool looking bottle I look forward to discovering.

Allô,
your box was shipped from Aylmer (Québec).
I was your secret partner.
I did a it of research on untappd and I believed that all the beers sent your way will be new to you.
I am 20889.
Have a nice day,
Sylvain Cloutier

 

Correct - enjoy!

 

Well got Canada Post straightened out I think so hopefully my targets box will arrive by Friday!

 

Sorry I haven't been able to post before but, box was finally sent yesterday (was sick all week last week so wasn't able to ship). Should be hitting target tomorrow i everything goes as planned.

 

The dirty look the person at the post office gave me when they saw which box was mine was priceless.....lift with your legs!!


I will post the contents of the box tonight. There are some real treats in there.

Thanks so much to my sender!!

 

I still don't know who sent my box but they sure outdid themselves. What a great selection of styles, countries and breweries. Most are all new to me which is great. Perfect timing for the upcoming long weekend.

Here's a list as I am not tech savvy enough to post the pic I took.

Thanks again!!

Thanks!

 

Reeeeeeeeeeediculous

Stupid Canada Post not buzzing me for this condo smasher (new term)

!!!

I think this is the best variety I've ever gotten in a box. Stoked on all of it! Blubus Maximus is possibly the best name for a beer ever, + I love blueberries so really interested in that, and ummm, everything else Didn't get a chance to try DblJutsu so that will be cracked tonight!

Thanks so much Phillipe!

What an amazing box of great beer! My townhouse stoop was blown up today by this box of awesomeness!!! I have never had any of these beers so I am so excited! I was hoping to get a little growler of something fresh as well. So many great styles and breweries. To be honest I only knew of 2 of the breweries Rodenbach and GLB. This CANBIF has totally cemented my desire to participate again the next round. Would love to trade again for other Ontario beer as well and maybe some Dark Horse from Michigan and maybe any other breweries that are there as well.
