    I cut short the previous e-mail as the door bell rang and not the postman was there with a big box full of beers!

    I believe it is from Pickering and based on the thread I have no clue who it is coming from. I am going back to open the box and will post soon a picture.

    @darcyk - Box arrived intact and unbroken... though next time, keep your target guessing who the sender is( I just ignored your message until it arrived :stuck_out_tongue: )

    Wow, almost entirely new tics for me... my fault from not keeping my ratings up to date =) May Long Weekend is going to be a dangerous one! I think the Other Half collab beers sums it up... Bad Decisions! haha. I've been able to sample CBS but never been able to obtain a bottle of my own! Those Skeleton Keys looks delicious! Thank you very much for an awesome box!

    I also received a great box of mostly new to me (or at least haven't had recently but liked them) beers today from @darcyk! I will post pics soon.

    Looking forward to box 2's arrival as well!

    Big thank you, Philippe! What an amazing mix of beers. Everything arrived intact and unbroken, too. Good thing you didn't make it too obvious what was inside the boxes! lol Canada Post clerk didn't even bat an eye. Looking forward to these in the coming weeks! Thanks!!

    A big thank you to ... I wish I could put a name to it. Amazing beers come from JDK Studios in Lunenburg, NS. It's been ages - like 5 years - since I was last in Halifax (a city I love) and I'm sure so much there and in the province of Nova Scotia has changed (for the better, naturally). What a generous mix of NS beers, I think all of which I haven't tried. All the cans are cold in the fridge. So far, have really enjoyed the 2 Crows Gose and the Field Hand wild ale. Thank you so much!!

    I recognized the white tape. I thus know who it is from. I will keep you guessing until I put the pictures up.

    All I have to write this morning is that I am a very happy camper!

    Alright! here is the scoop! My generous sender packed full a wonderous box of brews.

    1. Surly Hell Lager
    2. Surly First Avenue +1
    3. Surly Xtra-Citra Pale Ale (first one i cracked and it was really smooth!)

    4. Half Pints Burlywine 2017
    5. Half Pints Grand Slam Oatmeal Stout

    6. Torque Brewing Diesel Fitter Stout
    7. Torque Brewing Witty Belgian Wheat
    8. Torque Brewing Red Line Red IPA

    9. Fort Garry Black Pearl Stout

    10. Black Bridge Milk Stout

    11. Oxus Brewing Transoxania IPA

    12. Barn Hammer Grandpas Sweater Oatmeal Stout
    13. Barn Hammer Grandpas Sweater Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout
    14. Barn Hammer Theodore Augustus Russian Imperial Stout
    15. Barn Hammer Theodore Augustus Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout

    16. Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (woo!)

    Again, I want to say thank you for the great line up. All of which are new to me. The Toronto scene is great, but nothing brings me more joy than getting a feel for what else is out there and discovering new favorites from abroad.

    And thank you Electros for running this thing. I'm already starting to stockpile releases to build a potential box for the next one.

    Many thanks to my sender for this pile of Ontario beers - There are some really nice looking heavy hitters in here, as well as some funky looking sours. I already put down the Brewer's Cheese - Bellwoods knows what's up.
    Looking forward to the next CANBIF! To heck with the Supreme Court and their anti-cross border beer ways!

    PS - not sure if my pictures got uploaded. This beer advocate system is new to me and not that user friendly!

    Photos are not working. If you are linking from Imgur, you need to paste in the direct link. Domain should be https://i.imgur.com/ and the photo needs .jpg (or whatever) at the end.

    Glad everything arrived safely! Would drink the Half Hours can and the Pineapple pale sooner than later. The rest of the stuff should a age pretty gracefully.
