    After a few false starts, my box is headed out East. My target literally lives at the end of the road, and is going to have a fun day when the box arrives.

    Will post my haul soon. Sorry for the delay.

    Haha, when you posted your name hint, I was going to say how funny it would be if you got me the year after I got you. But then Oleksandr_Bogachov posted just under you.

    Very generous. It was pretty awesome to be excited about every beer I pulled out - sooo much coffee! B-Bomb has been something I've wanted to try for a while and I love Vox Pop.

    Thanks man.

    I have assembled the liquid goods for my target and plan on having then shipped out on Monday at the latest. It's got quite a ways to travel, as Google maps says it would take me 58 hours to drive there via TransCanada highway. Looks like it's shaping up to be a beautiful day over there with an expected high of 18 degrees!

    Definitely looking forward to receiving a package from @MasterSki in the coming days. I just so happen to live at the end of my street and can see the Bay if Fundy from my doorstep.

    Cheers fellas!

    To my dear recipient

    I dropped the box. And here are some hints.
    1) One of the beers is from a far away. Not sure that you've ever tried any beers from this country.
    2) You said that you don't mind having some beers for fun. Hope you won't laugh too much :slight_smile:

    P.S. CP forecast is about a week for delivery. I wish they do it faster.

    well seeing all this beer talk and boxes arriving and such... I figured today was the day. I had to bite the bullet and emerge from the sanctuary of my covid hovel. The sun however really helped motivate! Nonetheless my target should be hopefully pleased, as I have managed to abide by their tastes... even such with some humour! I look forward to hearing their reaction. Packaging was interesting as I normally assemble such things from the office, though I'm sure everything will arrive intact and I can assure there is no Corona in said box :stuck_out_tongue:

    To my target, your box should start it's journey east tomorrow. Some hints for you to ponder... You live near a falls of a cherry I very much enjoy and coincidentally enough you share a name of a borough nearby. :thinking_face:

    I've only had one of these beers before, so super stoked. Also really excited for the Other Half, as it seems to be a train wreck with extremely polarized reviews. I've already gone through some of the hoppy stuff, with the Petit Chicago being my favorite so far.

    Since I was a bit concerned about delivery, amongst the issues now and my previous experiences, I have ruined a bit of the mystery as they are getting delivery updates. Package left yesterday to the cold east.

    Sadly here on my coast we have full sunshine and some actual short weather, so your requests for high gravity beers were hard to come by. I did my best though and I hope you enjoy.

    LOL. It arrived - I will post a pic tomorrow. Frustratingly, work has got in the way. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Thank you so much for excellent choices. The quality is high and totally what I like to drink, as you well said. I still have a Brother Soigne from the last box that you sent and it's on deck for this weekend. Big thank you for your generosity, and pics will follow this weekend. Cheers!

    I did indeed receive it yesterday. I absolutely love the anticipation of opening a beer box, and this one definitely did not dissapoint!

    Thank you sir @MasterSki!

    My box was just released into the wild, its coming for you target. If it drove directly and didn't stop for too many breaks it would get to you in 14 or 15 hours, blaring the creeps on the tape deck the whole way. The box is full lots of high quality local stuff, and one or two cool things from away. You should probably see it Friday afternoon, I hope you enjoy it.
