CANBIF Spring 2017

My target's box is already filling up with an array of local goods and a couple of not so local. I will be sending it west, but not all the way west ....

 

That's quite true sir. Ottawa.

 

Good Afternoon,

To my sender:
I am easy , and i think that is important as I know I'm not super active on this or many beer sites .
I like hazy IPA's, DIPA's, sours, saisons, wilds, stouts, and almost anything barrel aged.
Really anything interesting to you will likely interest me.
As the spring approaches i prefer fresher, hoppier, and lighter beer styles.
I also wear t-shirts- medium
I like pretty glasses, though prefer pretty beer.

To my target:
You have posted...
You are west...
I have ideas...
That is all for now.

 

To my Target, Hint #1: If I wanted to get out of your city, I might take a drive on a street that is close to you that will take me a long way out of town!

 

Hint #2

My target is east of me, in a province, and lives near a big lake. I'm not sure what f you love hockey, but if so, having our nearly home teams in the playoffs must be exciting. I'm heading north for one more shopping trip before making the final selections for your box. It should be packed and ready tomorrow (or Monday if I decide to fit in some spring skiing on Sunday.)

 

with the amount of aluminum I'm sending, you can probably buy yourself another beer with the recycling refund

 

Very valid point... I think I have corrected that.

 

To my target, you live by a road that's just meant for beer and it'd be about a 47 hour drive according to google maps for the beer to leave my place and get to yours. This box will be glass free and real variety tour.

 

Haul hint: in addition to beer from the prairies, I hope my target likes beer from Prairie. Is that considered local technically?

 

To my sender :
Bro, i'm sorry for this late post. It's my first trade here. My favourite styles are anything barrel aged. But seriously, I prefer Porters - stout - Sour, second would be wild ales/saisons . I always enjoy an IPA

To my target
My box is complete. I read your post on this page. I'm pretty sure you will like it!

 

Sorry for the late reply!

To my sender:
My "hads" are not quite up to date on here (but I have made sure to record my Canadian top-100s). My Untappd is up to date at https://untappd.com/user/curtismoncton/beers .

I'm easy to please, I just want to try whatever you think are great local beers that I can't get here. Really appreciate anything in the top 100 I haven't tried, but don't worry too much about that.

To my target:
I think I can hit a few of your style preferences, and I plan to send a box chock full of cans of fresh, local stuff that doesn't get much distribution outside of NB.

 

To my target - 37 cans have dawned their armor ready for some serious porch destruction. It won't fit on your front steps, but could potentially destroy that couch across the street. Hope you enjoy, it should be in the mail by mid week and be "in-transit" until it arrives.

To my sender - I made some serious room in my fridge!

 

My box is leaving tomorrow and has a fair amount of metal, just like your city....

 

Hint #3

My box is now in the capable hands of Canada Post - the majority are Alberta beers, with a couple of bonus selections.

It will land in Ontario in approximately 7 business days.

 

Tuesday Morning Hint

Good thing your front steps are concrete. No reinforcement needed. Box 1 will be headed out first thing next Monday and should arrive the same week.

 

Hint #1
My target lives in a province where I sent a box or two before.

Hint #2
Your styles are similar to mine.

 

Box has sent! It's very possible it could be there by the weekend.

 

All the beer is acquired. I just need to do some styro surgery and it should be packed up and ready to ship tomorrow. The shipper will drop in the same province it came from last round and it wont be flying United.

 

And she's gone!
