    So I did some shopping on the weekend and need to pick up one more and then pack. Should have a cool 12 pack heading out East.

    As for a hint: I had to look to past CanBIFs in order to get guidance on my shopping for my target. SLACKER!

    If I were to drive my box to my targets house I'd spend more time in the US then Canada. I'd stop before Quebec.

    Hint # 4:

    "Look... You see that? You know why it's dead? Because a squirrel peed in it! That's why I need the cat. He protects my weed plants! I got four plants left, guys. That's all I got left in my life. Please let me have one cat to protect my plants!"

    I have my target's beers purchased, but am waiting on a box so likely will ship later this week.

    Hint 1: Mijn doelwit is het verkrijgen van een biertje met een bloeiende plant, maar niet een tulp.

    Hint #3: A city in the province of my target already hosted the Olympic Games.

    Hint #4: I have more ratings than my target on Ratebeer.

    Hint #5: I have sent 2 boxes to the city of my target yesterday.

    Hint #6: Someone on this photo spent a part of his/her life in the city of my target: http://bdb3b8.medialib.glogster.com...74355801600a16328e78fcb1f/baywatch-source.jpg

    Half the box is complete (mostly from the cellar) and I'm shopping for the other half later today. My box is going out next Monday.

    Hint # 5/6:

    i) My Cousin recently left to do his Masters in my targets city. I imagine he will have a good time while there seeing as it has the most pubs per capita of any other city in Canada!

    ii) O Scotia! my dear, my native soil!
    For whom my warmest wish to heaven is sent;
    Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil
    Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet content.


    Box is nearly complete. I am picking up a few things today, and then it should be ready to go out tomorrow!

    My box is as done as it can be right now. Waiting on two more exciting beers before I send. That being said, more hints:
    -Electros's hint about birds of a feather flocking together rings true for my target
    -Two of the beers are each based around different harvests
    -My target is receiving beers from 3 different countries

    My target, or I should say our target as I've recruited @polloenfuego to help put together this CANBIF Box lives almost the same distance from the US Border as I do. Sadly it's cheaper for me to fly to Belgium and enjoy a brew than it is to share a pint with my target!

    I'm waiting on some bottles from a brewery that isn't open until tomorrow, but otherwise I'm good to go.
    Amusingly I have two beers with the exact same name (different styles and breweries though!).

    Unless I run into problems, the beer scores range from 4.00 to 4.54, with an average or 4.14, median of 4.08, and mode of 4.08.
    Styles would include:
    American Imperial Stout
    American Wild Ale
    American IPA
    American Imperial Pilsner
    American Imperial IPA
    English Barleywine

    50% from Ontario, 50% from Great Lakes region of the US. Everything hoppy was bottled in August or September.

    My target has had one of these beers, but I couldn't resist sending it due to the aforementioned name duplication.
    At least two wants will be hit.
