    I'm sorry but it'll be tough to find Gandhi Bot in Quebec. I got it from a trade with a BA from Connecticut :wink: It was so good I had to share it!!
    I'm glad you appreciate :slight_smile:

    Some info about the box I sent:

    Weight: 26.6 pounds
    Volume: 5,182ml = 175.2 oz
    Direction: West of me (shocking!)
    Expected delivery date: Wednesday, April 17

    The box is being delivered to an address that, according to Google Maps, is a 79.2 kilometre drive from a hotel I stayed in a little over a week ago.

    Glad you like it! As for the Schoune flander's red, it's overall a pretty average (bad) brewery trying to make sours, but I feel their take on the flander's red style is pretty much their best effort. So it's up to you to determine if it's a worst of, or a decent brew :wink: and I'm a big fan of petrus aged pale, one of my go-to sours.

    Cheers!

    Ghandi Bot is actually somewhat of a whale and it not easy to find at all. NEBC has very limited distribution to begin with and Ghandi Bot doesn't even make it through their entire distribution channel. I have yet to track it down myself...

    That one especially caught my eye! A la Fut Co Hop V caught me by surprise as one of the best Flanders reds I've had (and I LOVE the style). Sounds amazing :grinning:

    Wow, great box from KeKeKumba! All of those are new to me, except Cantillon Kriek, and I would take belgian geuzes/lambics anytime, so it's simply awesome. I know it was pretty hard to find stuff suiting my likes, but you did great mate. Thank you! Got to head back to work, but I'll try posting a picture tonight!

    Sorry, gave enough hints, you'll have to figure it out :stuck_out_tongue:

    I checked the status and saw that the delivery had changed to Wednesday. I phoned and asked "what the hell"?

    Response: " They forgot to put it on the truck"
