Wow, just got back from my trip and this was waiting for me. Good timing as I heard it only arrived the day before. Tried to post yesterday, but the jetlag kicked my ass into bed.

Anyhow, thank you 'sender' for a great box... All new brews for me, a few new breweries/cidery and a great mix of dark/strong and light/easy. I look forward to working through these guys!

 

First off, thanks for an excellent box. I’m slowly working my way through the booty.

I started using FlagshipGo a couple years back for BIFs/trading. Not always, but usually, it ends up being a little cheaper than Canada Post, particularly for shorter hauls. Purolator through FlagshipGo is what I use 90% of the time. This time it was about the same price for each carrier, but UPS drop off is a five minute walk from house.

 

Tracking is telling me that a box touched down in Wealthmond. No wait, that isn’t right. Affluentmond. No, not right either.

Anyway, something like that. Hope you enjoy target! Cheers.

 

Big box o'goodies has landed! Now, how do I post the pic?

 

Sorry it was so late in getting to you. Hope you enjoy.

If you are trying to add a photo from your phone, postimages.org works best for me.

Add photo from your library. Once it loads there, copy the direct link and paste it here using the photo icon. Works like a charm.

 

The haul! It's awesome. Check this out:

Badlands No Country Australian Pilsner
Rouge River Manuscript Replica
Fine Balance Letna
Rouge River Paco
Rouge River Delphia
Rouge River Favourite Mystery
Fine Balance Oats & Cream IPA
Rouge River Outer Moat Behaviour
Robin Saison du Coteau Baco Noir
Bellwoods Foeder Grisette Raspberry
Bellwood BA Bounty Hunter
Muddy York BA Plank Road
Third Moon Apple Brandy Barrel Bestowed
Bellwoods Motley Cru 2023
Side Project Satsuma
American Solera Delta Blend

Pretty hard not to crack into these right away.

 

Glad the box made it to you, I assumed it was caught up somewhere, but glad the goodies didn't go missing. Sorry the Airheads were just popcorn kernels...tried to throw off any nosy CP employees.

Hope you enjoy the collection, you were a tough guy to choose for based on Untappd (and BC's lack of good fresh IPAs atm) lol.

 

Look at this craft beer! Thanks @Aleianated for the lovely box of freshies, and extra thanks for all the stickers which will soon be decorating my laptop and ferm fridge. Overall very happy with this first experience with CanBIF, I'll be back for sure!

 

Glad it arrived safe and sound! Enjoy...theres some good brews in there

Amazing selection

Gordon Bennett that's one helluva great box of beer! I've been through 80% of it already, and you have just NAILED the beers that I like - but struggle to find in Ontario because the brewers are less creative and often default to haze.

If you're interested in a direct trade, I'll be happy to hunt down whatever you'd like from Ontario, Vermont or New York.

Cheers and thank you so much!

 

Much nicer, then what my kids did with diapers.

 

Oats and Cream is one of my favourites. Sooo good. Light cotton candy sweet, not heavy malt sweet. Enjoy!

 

That should have been . "Some Pliny...sweet!"

 

Thanks for the Instagram post to @hopbombapparel. Happy you enjoyed the experience and the beers. I'm sure you're the only owner of Wood Brothers beer in Alberta.

 

My box arrived from Ontario yesterday evening and I did have a peek....very excited to try out all these wonderful brews...I have had none of them in the past whichh is always wonderful to see! Will post pics and a list later this evening...thanks to my sender!!!

Thanks @Teethoflions for the excellent box! Love getting brews from down East, and am looking forward to a couple in particular....Beluette and the Broadhead Nuts & Bolts, and the rest all look yummy as well!
Cheers!
