    Ass-kissing post of the day

    Once more, big thanks to Philippe for organizing this CANBIF.

    Ass-kissing Philippe is ok since he has me over once in a while to savour some great beers!

    36 pounds dropped off this morning. Heading to a place to live, a place to grow!

    :grinning: All these hints, still no clues as to who my sender is. Just a whole bunch as to who it isn't.

    Box 1 of mine left yesterday, en route with the smaller offerings. The big bottles will be following shortly thereafter.

    Haul Hint: One of Manitoba's finest, carries an average rating of 2.18 on Beeradvocate, it is the only beer I've ever seen a reviewer compare to vegetable stew. But hey, you asked for it!

    Ontari-ari-ari-o??

    I think we actually just "stand" out here. Apparently we don't "live".

    32lbs of liquid gold is on its way to someone who has the same house number as myself. Lots of east coast premium beers including 4 gold winners from the 2016 Canadian Beer Awards. Just as an after thought . Due to arrive via FedEx on Friday. Cheers!

    Tomorrow will be a good day for beer .

    I got home and there was a little sticker on the door left by Mr Postman. I hope it is my Beer Santa's box that I have to pick up. (If not, it will be quite a surprise as I am not expecting anything else!)

    To my target, you are unlucky as I do not put out much in terms of hints. You are also unlucky as, unlike TeemuWPG , I am only sending you one box (see post #204).

    However, I can write that your box will be shipped tomorrow and that it contains more bottles and cans than the 12 slots it is supposed to hold.

    I hope your want list was up to date as I tried to hit as many Québec and Ontario ones as I could. I also hope that your favorite beer style is really your favorite beer style!

    Though I could not really get anything from your spouse's wish list, I put in a couple of "close to" for her (hopefully, you will be able to get the "oh so important brownie points" out of this!).

    Wait a second ... I think I was the only one who mentioned a significant other in their wish list! :grimacing::sunglasses:

    @westcoastbeergeek

    Well I sure am glad this wasn't left on my porch.
    It would have not only destroyed the porch but sucked the whole house into the blackhole it likely would have created, along with the rest of the neighbourhood!!!!

    Seriously was there any aluminum left in the pacific north west after this box left?

    Just amazzing! Every beer is new to me, and it ticks (although Ive never posted it) a bunch of beers and breweries I've been hoping to try!

    I will post pictures tomorrow at work.
    My computer at home is dying a slow death, and the never ending series of pictures will almost for sure seals its fate.

    Also to my target:
    Box is out! Hopefully there by the weekend!

    Yes!

    Thanks so much, man. I hope you get as much joy from your box as I got from the one you sent.

    That sounded sexual.

    Hey, my box has arrived safe and sound here in Nova Scotia. Not really sure how to post a picture on this, which is shocking because I'm pretty sure I'm a fully functioning adult human, and yet... Once I figure out how to put a pic up I'll do so, but in the meantime, many thanks to my very kind benefactor, hooking me up with a variety of beers from in and around ontario

    Apologies to my target, I have the shipper filled but won't be able to drop it off with FedEx until Thursday. On a happier note, your patience will be rewarded with 346 ounces.
