Got home from work to find a good sized box waiting for me. It was what i thought it was! BIF day was here!! Great box with all new beers and a bunch of new breweries as well. Looking forward to trying a bunch of these and have put a good chunk in the fridge already. Thanks to my sender!!

Salut Michael,
it was a fairly easy box to make as I simply went through your wants list and then threw in a couple of extra local beers.
Ii is always a bit of a relief that the box reaches destination without any breakage.
I am happy that you are pleased with the content, hope that your fiancé will enjoy some of the darker beers and that you get the always useful brownie points.
One bad thing about this box is that it contains a lot of hops and you will have to drink it quickly.
I will await your message for future trades.
Have a nice day,
Sylvain (GRM)

 

Based on the point of origin on the shipping label, it looks like this was me after all!

Glad it made it to you safely, I was a bit worried when I noticed it was left at your door as I'd forgotten to request a signature. Please drink the Trailway sooner than later, it's super fresh. Cheers!

 

I'd agree with that...and it's great stuff...Hu Jon hops in particular.

 

Canada Post outdid themselves. Box arrived safe and sound today. Pics to follow when I have the chance to unpack. Thank you @GJKerr for your kindness and @Phyl21ca for organizing this!

 

Box is on it's way to the Royal City. Quebec and Ottawa goodies.

 

To my sender -- your box has entered beautiful British Columbia. Delivery is imminent.

My haul, part 1. Bellwoods Helly King, Hellwoods, Runes, Grandma's Boy, Double Jutsu, 3 Minutes to Midnight, Jelly King Blackberry

Haul, Part 2 - Half Hours on Earth Yalla Yalla, Founder's KBS, Nickel Brook Immodest, Cafe Del Bastardo, Old Kentucky Bastard, Flying Monkeys The Chocolate Manifesto, Great Lakes Robohop and Rodenbach 2013, No. 149 (wow - holy shit)

Thanks again to @GJKerr for this amazing box. I was home when the doorbell rang today, as I unexpectedly lost my mother last Friday. This box full of goodness will definitely help - it is sincerely appreciated.

 

Sorry to hear about your mother, @Bunman3

My condolences and best wishes to you and your family.

 

Likewise, sorry to hear that news, but glad you are liking the box. You're quite a ticker on BA, so I tried to hit some Canadian Top 100 for you. I think I managed four (five if you include Double Jutsu, which is better than regular Jutsu anyhow), with all except Immodest being new to you (I believe my good friend @msjpearson sent you that last year). Hellwoods just keeps getting better - this new batch is great - and that Rodenbach is ageing quite nicely. Cheers!

 

Glad you dig the box, man. This is my first CANBIF so after seeing all of the other bombs posted, I kinda wish I had squeezed more cans into that box for you.

Live/Learn

Hope you enjoy!!!

 

No worries @L_Ront I will enjoy these beers for sure.

Cheers!

 

Looks like box 2 got picked up at the post office by my target this afternoon!

 

Dear target. Canada post has changed expected delivery to the 5th. I'm hoping you get it by the weekend. Lots of fresh hops in my box this time round.

 

Wow, picked up an amazing box from my BC sender today. Lots of longtime wants and some breweries I haven't had anything from before. Thanks to my sender for a very generous box! Cheers

 

Hope you enjoy @CurtisD! Pretty obvious I'm sure but suggest making Happyness, Vexillum and Flagship priorities. Cheers!

 

Cheers and enjoy! It's always fun to put together a BIF box!

 

And your box hit home in more ways than one. All arrived perfect. I will post pictures later, but we have a group of 6 who was hunting down a 2016 alaskan smoked porter for a LONG TIME. I dont know if you knew, but it made a lot of people happy... that and the rest of the beers, I am overwhelmed.

My target's box is ready for Pickup in TO. Hope it makes them as happy, I doubt, but I am heading down to TO in May, so I'll fill-up that happy meter when I do
