CANBIF Fall 2016

I'm glad you approve.....
Had to do a little detective work on RB. Almost 13000 ratings was a lot to wade through but I believe all but one in that box are new to you. Tried to find more Gose/Litchenhainer brews but a lot of them have come and gone already. Tisn't the season anymore. Anyway enjoy!

 

There should be a box from out east sitting at someone's back door, as of yesterday afternoon....

 

went and checked the back door just in case.. no dice.. haha

my box got updated from thursday to today! currently out for delivery!

 

They're always watching

 

Just got a notice of delivery but can't pick up until after 1pm tomorrow. Argh, the delayed gratification that comes with semi-rural mail delivery...

 

Update to my target... the box has all but skipped Ontario and has shown up in Montreal... where it goes from there we shall see... not west

CP claims delivery on the 25th but I suspect much much sooner.

And in other news... my CANBIF box just arrived.

Thank you to my sender whom I only know by real name. Upon initial scan of posts here I'm unable to convert name -> username.

Exchange, Burdock, and Half Hours are new breweries to me, so thank you =)
Bellwoods always great! Thank you so much for Barn Owl No.1, I can now complete the experience having recently enjoyed 3&4 and last year 2. Odd as I know I've had Hellwoods... apparently I was too drunk/lazy to check it in. My bad and my gain as I get to enjoy it again!

Also, cool shipper, I have yet to see a clean and compact lay down shipper.

Again, thank you! I'll be enjoying these beers soon enough... I may even share some with friends.

 

Well, Philippe will be happy as I have switched my username to something “meaningful”, i.e. it is the same as on RateBeer.

To my target, the box shipped on the 13th with a promise two-day delivery will arrive on the 20th. I guess they have really long work days at Post Canada. If you check who was my Santa Claus, you live in the same province.

To my Santa Claus,

thank you very much for the nice present!

It is always appreciated to arrive home and have beer waiting on my porch. Very thoughtful that they are from your neck of the wood as we do not get them in Québec.

It arrived in one piece. I have to mention that it was quite brilliant to put each bottle in a Ziploc (I normally put my styrofoam container in a garbage bag but I will move to the Ziploc).

Here is the list of beers I got:
Fremont Field of ferment
Driftwood Fat tug
Four Winds Nectarous
Howe Sound Sea to sky Dry hopped red
Hoyne Voltage espresso stout
Charleston Townsite
Fremont Cowiche canyon
Driftwood Black stone
Driftwood Sartori harvest ipa
Howe Pothole filler stout

Three magnets La pastoria imperial brown Phillips Longboat chocolate porter

Thanks again, Santa Claus!

 

Still waiting on mine ... Surely any day now?!

 

Me too....Canada Post van stopped by my work today, then turned around and left without delivering anything. Such a tease

My target's box has arrived, but they haven't posted anything yet.

 

Hello - I see my box arrived - I'm worried that not everything arrived intact. I sent a number of cans, too, did they all make the trip eastward? I do hope you enjoy the selection - our brewery scene in Alberta is just getting started and I tried to send a good variety of treats.

Do let me know!

Ted

 

Mine may be sitting at post office as I got a notice today although I just noticed it says "letter" not parcel so maybe false alarm.

 

A small, but quite heavy package was waiting for me when I got home from work. Very well packed and was a bit of a workout getting it open! All new beers to me and a bunch of new breweries too!

Bell City Lenoir
Brock St Double Vision
Collingwood Saison
Wellington RIS
Big Rig Midnight Kissed My Cow
Stack La Cloche
Shillow Bitter Waitress
Lancaster Hop Hog/Southern Cross Hog/Imperial Jo/Double Chocolate Milk Stout
Five Paddles Million Dollar Shag/Dominatrix/Jump the Pumpkin Shark/Five Bines/Minotaur in a Canoe on Fire
Manantler Dark Prince

phew think i got them all... thanks to my sender! already have one chilling to enjoy shortly

 

The Field to Ferment is the Mosaic version. I'd recommend knocking off that and the Cowiche Canyons first. Oh and the Sartori! Enjoy!

 

I am awaiting my box, but I requested through Phil that it arrive after the 19th so that it didn't interfere with my move, which is progressing slowly (so much left to pack) . I'll be checking to see if there is a notice at the new place some time today.

The box I sent was processed in a Maritime locale a little after midnight and should be out for delivery today.

Cheers!

 

Item out for delivery. I assume only one person and one truck will be making the trip to the destination to liberate my target of his 'beerlessness.'

This would be different from the presumably many persons and vehicles that liberated the destination's namesake in 1944.

Cheers!
