CANBIF, fall 2017.

The package has landed. Apparently in my targets garage... hopefully the flooring is stable as that was one hefty box!

Does my target know who they are yet?

Or are they out running errands in Canada’s eighth largest city..

 

If all goes as planned, the box I sent out should be delivered tomorrow!!

 

Here it is, in all its glory!
Grimross - Pugnacious Porter, Cheval D'Or
Maybee's - Espresso Stout, Forage Rye IPA
Gahan - Vic Park Pale Ale
Trailway - Luster, Hujon Hops, Beyond Reality, Patio, Rype
Picaroon's - Imperial IPA
Garrison - 20th Anniversary
Upstreet - Go Devil
Pump house - 4 Alarm, Celtic Knot
Hammond River - Blood Orange, Hop Flash

All brand new to me. Thanks again to @CurtisD for an awesome box. Thanks also to @Electros for organizing this round!

 

Hola!

Sorry to everyone, particularly my target and sender for my stereo silence so far.
It has been a bit longer and busier harvest season than anticipated.

However, i'm here now and excited to contribute!!!!

I have planned some local shopping over this week and weekend to add to some cellar treats, so if my target can hold tight just a little longer the box will leave next week.

TO my target... you are east of me, between the ocean and Ontario.
TO my sender ... I like most things, barrel aged and funky are favorites, and big stouts during the winter months are lovely warmers as well.

Cheers
Pinot

 

@Bunman3 , the crowler labeled Celtic Knot was a guest tap at Pump House last week....Celtic Knot Dubh Loki Black IPA. Local one-man operation that is putting out good stuff. They just opened their physical brewery and started bottling this week (they’ve been tap-only the past four years).

I meant to better label that one, sorry. Cheers!

 

Just got home from visiting family for the long weekend, and I found a beer box at my garage! Will have to wait to see what’s inside as I have a massage appointment in a few minutes.

 

I think I’m your target!

 

OhOh...According to Post Canada, my box is finaly arrive to destination.

 

Was delighted to get this box home and find the bounty inside. It got caught up in the Post Office closures this weekend so I had a couple anxious days waiting for an opportunity to pick it up. Many thanks to my generous sender from Quebec. Really excited to start trying these beauties.

 

Canada post has bumped up the delivery date of my box to tomorrow or Wednesday. Its probably being chauffeured through the Rockies at this moment

 

The jig is up! Hope you enjoy everything in the box! Can’t wait to see those pictures.

If you enjoy what’s inside and want more, I’d love to trade with you in the future! Don’t see much in the way of West coast brews this far East!

Cheers,
Mike

 

Thank you for the explanation - I'm looking forward to digging into those crowlers this weekend - they might be a bit much for a weeknight! I just finished the Trailway Hu Jon Hops - it's super delicious. I'll be reviewing all of my treasures, one a day, over the next couple of weeks!

 

Nothing like coming home from vacation with a nice box waiting to be opened! Took a break from unpacking to unpack this loot. Counterproductive yes, but the excitement got the best of me!

All I could say is wow! Lots of west coast gems and even one from Belgium! All new to me and the style selection is bang on! Feeling very, very spoiled. Huge thank you to my sender @Corson for sending these beauties East!
