    Hint 1: it’s a lot saltier where you are than where I am.

    Box is away!

    Notes to my target:
    • This box is headed west. Much west compared to my east.
    • I'm told your city is a member of a tri-city situation
    • We have similar names
    • I didn't get a lot of hints about what you might like, BUT I'm hopeful you will enjoy the selection of (mostly) local gems, with a few more goodies from the surrounding area

    Today marks a week away to the shipping deadline. I would ask everyone that hasn't sent a box out by this Friday please message me.

    There looks like few more boxes have dropped and some are close to in transit. This is the calm before the beer **** storm! Say that three times fast. :grin:

    Cheers everyone!

    Not going to lie. I had a smile from ear to ear when I walked into the house yesterday to see a box with my name on it :slight_smile: Thanks again sender! I'll post a pic today after work.

    Just to keep you informed, I have obtained a good chunk of bottles and cans to fill my part of the deal. As of today, the plan is to ship this out by Saturday.

    I am awaiting new releases at the bottle shop near by so that I can put in some fresh hazy beers as my target seems to enjoy fresh hazy IPAs.

    I received a notice today from Canada Post so I presume that it is a box full of juicy beers. My assumption is based on the fact that I do not shop much over the Internet and that my "friends" usually do not send me packages!

    I am planning to pick it up tomorrow. Looking forward to see what is Inside.

    To my target, I am planning to finish my round of beer acquisition this Thursday so that I can ship it out to you this Saturday. The box is going "West, young man!". I will try to get my hands on hazy beers, just for you.

    Picked a beautiful box from the Post Office today. Thank you @remsad for a generous box of things that are very hard to find in my part of the world. List of beer and photos to follow!

    Final Hint:
    Box was delivered today to Canada’s largest city. I hope my target enjoys - it was daunting but also fun to pull together a box to pull together a box for someone who clearly knows and loves beer.

    Hint 3:
    My box will land in the city that is a 3 hour and 26 minute flight east of me. The first rock concert I attended included Streetheart, The Headpins, and a band formed in this city. Good news - thanks to a fantastic new release, my box is up to the 8L mark. Bad news - I had to wait for the new release, so my box won't head out until tomorrow. I will packing it with love tonight.

    Hint 2:

    My target has sampled an impressive array of beer. I have done my reconnaissance and hope I’ve gathered a few of the best things available in my part of the Woods. Prairie. Technically it’s Parkland, which is a mix of deciduous forest and plains. But I digress. 7.5 L should be heading east by Sunday. It will be heading to the city that has been renamed at least once.

    Hint 1:
    My target is east of me, in a city I have not visited. I have sent a few boxes to this province, however. Your box will contain mostly Alberta beer, with a couple of west coast selections thrown in.

    My box is currently en route to the flat lands. The mysterious 'In Transit' status means it's either sitting in a bin at the post office or on its way to its destination. The suspense!!!
