    Surprised that Canada Post delivered on a Sunday, they left a slip that I grabbed at the post office so thankfully my porch is still in tact! Killer box and wow am so stoked to try these, all are new to me except 2 which I cannot at all complain as I'd love to have again. Big thanks to my sender @bylerteck I've got a bunch of these on the fridge already to drink this week!

    Another surprise delivery on Sunday. This one did hurt the porch. I still can't believe how people are able to fit 18 beers in a 12 slots styro shipper!

    My box is out today and heading East. I'm late so I'm making up for it by making the box heavier and a little better. Dug deep in the cellar for a couple.

    Cheers

    A very big and sincere THANK YOU to Hal. My god, you picked some absolutely fantastic beers... christ almighty, a Freemont, too?!?! My favourite styles - particularly the BA saisons. They're virtually unknown to us in Ontario. Now that I can smell & taste again (a bit of a prerequisite; have been sick for 2 weeks) it's high time to chime in. Thank you, thank you, Hal, I look forward to returning the favour, and hope we share drinks in person some time soon.
