    Just a reminder there is 5 days left. Sign up ends at midnight the 29th.

    After the sign up window closes I encourage everyone to start posting hints on likes/dislikes right away so when target messages are sent out it will be easy for senders to read there targets posting.

    I will repost this reminder on the 29th.

    On the 30th I will post as soon as possible a total tally of members signed up and the number broken down province to province.

    Target notices will be sent out by midnight on the 31st. If I get it done early I will send them out right away.

    I will do my best in considerations sent in regards to senders/targets/trading partners.

    Currently sitting at 42 memebers.

    To everyone on the fence; come join in fun!

    Cheers all!

    There is now only 24 hours left to sign up. All sign up information should be sent via BA email to me before midnight today.

    After the sign up window closes I enourage everyone to start posting hints on likes/dislikes right away so when target messages are sent out it will be easy for senders to read there targets posting.

    On the 30th I will post as soon as possible a total tally of members signed up and the number broken down province to province.

    Target notices will be sent out by midnight on the 31st at the latest but could be sent out as early as the 30th depending on the final number.

    I will do my best at pairing targets taking into consideration trading partners, geographical regions, and who partipants received from in the spring Canbif.

    Currently we have 46 boxes that will be sent out. I am not sure where this sits with previous rounds but this is exciting!

    Any last minute questions or concerns please don't hesitate to ask me.

    Again I encourage everyone to have a look at previous forums at hints and hauls to get a better unstanding of the craziness that is going to ensue soon enough.

    A big thank you to all who have/will have signed up for this round!

    Cheers everyone!

    46 boxes total.

    Break down:

    Nova Scotia: 8
    New Brunswick: 2
    Quebec: 8
    Ontario: 14
    Manitoba: 1
    Alberta: 4
    British Columbia: 10

    Information will be sent to everyone beer mail about your target within the two days.

    Let hints and hauls begin!

    For myself I am a hop head. Imperial anything or a good form of a classic. I do enjoy most everything interesting. If you like it I will most likely as well. Anything that is new to me or something I can't get here in Ontario is appreciated. The only style I don't like is sours and or anything related to sours. Cheers everyone!!!

    I count 47 in the breakdown. If you need to make it 48, I can throw in a box.

    Cheers,

    I'm also a hophead - my favourite beers tend to be citrusy IPAs, though I enjoy all IPAs and most pale ales. I also like sours. I dislike many wheat beers and bocks - but not all - I'll drink (and enjoy) a quality beer of any style. Everything else is fair game. I'd be looking for interesting beers not available east of Quebec, and ideally ones that are new to me. I'm on untappd and would be happy to add whomever I'm assigned!

    I too love those hops!! IPA's, pale ales and double IPA's. Also saisons, and sours are very highly appreciated. Stouts, Impy Stouts, BA Stouts....actually I'm pretty much open to anything with the only style I'm not overly fond of being a barleywine. I'm not on untappd nor do I review beers too much, but as long as it's a good beer....I don't mind having it again. :slight_smile:

    I like a bit of everything. Generally find pilsners and lagers boring not saying all are bad. Kolsch and bocks meh.
    IPAs PAs sours imperials are all good. But as long as it's new I'm sure it'll be good.
    I will only send beers I personally approve of.

    I appreciate just about anything made well. That said, I'm currently very into well made sours that aren't 'quick' or kettle sours (though I like some of Four Winds and Bellwoods takes) and also very big on bretty. After that, I'd typically seek out great IPAs, big ass barrel aged things, or just unique/interesting stuff. I love trying new stuff as often as I can, but also appreciate old favourites as well. I'm on Untappd - jaymek.

    Good to see you involved again Faris!
    I think the general idea these days is to keep it all in one thread including hauls.
    Cheers

    Its cold out so I am all about that pastry water rn, love english barleywine, mixed ferm saisons, ipa of all backgrounds, I enjoy well made lagers, things from a barrel. Not a big crystal malt fan, so red ales and IPA's from the 90's are not really my jam.

    Love new things, check out my untappd (https://untappd.com/user/TheBeerHobo) or don't your choice.

    My target is to the west, I was last in their city in 2015. It was really rainy, and there was lightening. I will be sending at least 11 great beer and one horrible thing that you will not like, it will be a fun game to see which one is terrible.

    This is getting exciting - I'm like a kid the night before Halloween. Wait... whatever.

    To my sender - anything new to me is great, but there are many great beers I can't get in Alberta that I would try again. Most of the beers I've tried in the last few years are rated or reviewed on BA. My current passion is NE style pales - hazy and hoppy. That said, I appreciate and enjoy all styles of beer.

    Thanks @Electros for organizing this round - I had fun sending you beer last time and I'm eagerly waiting to know who my target is.
