    Many thanks to my sender for the 2 hop-bombs that landed on my porch today. I am guessing my sender is MHofinger- you threw me off with your first hint, as the Transcanada doesn’t pass through Edmonton, although many mistake the Yellowhead for it. Cheers!

    All kinds of massive beers have arrived on the west coast! Awesome, awesome stuff. I'll post the list in a bit, but this is just quality. There was a fallen soldier - a can, of all things, that managed to open a bit somewhere. So that's not in the pic. But yeah, this is really cool. [​IMG]
