    Was hoping they were all new for you! Old Abbey is a simple sour but took gold for fruit beer at this year's CBAs. The punchbowl is of course the grapefruit version. Sang du Merle is drinking great at the moment. The Two Beers is numbered btl release and not anyone's radar but DAMN fine. Enjoy!

    Daaaamn son! Got home today to find my porch missing, with only a styro shipper in its smoking crater. Pretty sure I received a fantastic box from JonnyBeers! Definitely going to have some lupulin threshold shift after drinking through these gems. Thanks, brother! Awesome job. Pics shortly.

    My targets box was scheduled for delivery today, but it appears it'll be hanging out for another day.

    Just packing my box now...
    Should leave this afternoon westward.

    To My target: You were tough to "shop" for.
    You have a lot of experience drinking and have tried a lot beers!
    I reached into my cellar to try and hopefully find a few gems you have not tried and will enjoy.

    Jealous of everyone who gets Nectarous in their box, pretty much my most wanted beer at the moment and there's ZERO distribution anywhere near me. These are definitely inspiring me to participate next time around!

    I will officially miss the deadline but it's for a good cause...

    ...road trip through my home province to visit family and hit up a certain brewery where the Hip played their last concert for a couple limited releases plus found a new brewery close to my in-laws that opened up over the winter that just happened to have an RIS that was bought.

    A friend picked up a growler of another somewhat limited local RIS to include and I should be good to pack things up - hoping to get it out by end of the week!

    I will not be able to ship until end of week as I was travelling recently. I hope the contents makes up for the late shipping to my target.

    I just noticed the deadline is today. I know there is quite a few of us (including myself) who won't be able to ship before early next week so we can extend the shipping. Pleas let me know if you don't think you can ship before late next week.

    Beer bomb dropped on my porch yesterday. Reinforced concrete so it survived luckily. :wink:
    Awesome selection of beers that I have Phillipe to thank for! Merci beaucoup! So much cork and cage! My favorite! You hit a couple of my wants which I very much appreciate. L'Exorciste was not on my radar but looks amazing. Can't wait for that one! You have also given me a few beers I need to do some background research on as they aren't familiar to me. So, another thing to be thankful for. Cheers!

    Well, after sitting in Canada Post purgatory since Friday, looks like my target's box has finally reached its final destination in the Okanagan Valley! Approach decimated porch with caution Lord Vader!

    packed up the box last night and will try to get it shipped out after work today before close, but if not then it will be heading out tomorrow. Was tricky finding things my target hadnt had before, but think i've got a good mix of some darker stuff, in betweens and of course the west coast freshies. Seattles pretty much local right?!

    I'll be shipping by the end of the week. Trying to do this while packing for a move might have been a little bit of an over-extension. Apologies to my target that the box will be leaving a little after the end of the shipping window.

    phew I'm not the last to send my box... got in late last night from work trip. Will be working to get the box in shipping order tonight or at the latest (I hope) tomorrow. If my target manages to 'like' this, there could be a surprise something from down South where I was at :wink:

    phew, I'm not the last to send my box. I got in late last night from a week long work trip. I hope to get the box in fine shipping order by tonight or at least tomorrow. If my target manages to 'like' this, they may find a surprise something from my trip :wink:

    YAY!!!!! Came in this morning! It was awesome. And my very first true glass too! (I've been using a rather small old tulip glass I found a Value Village and a plain Spiegelau IPA glass up till now). Thanks so much! Pic is in the "Haul of Fame"
