    Its been a while since I got in on the CANBIF action and I always regret it when I don't.
    Living with regrets is the worst, asking "what if?" or "what could've been?" ain't for this guy anymore.
    Count me in!!!

    Never done a BIF before but I'm thinking about giving it a shot. Marcus can vouch for me...

    I'm in and I am currently in Belgium... I'll take a look and see if I can find anything good over here for the box.

    If there are a few traders in the GTA may we deliver/pickup? Would cut costs and allow us to meet each other.

    We try our best to match people up outside of province and the recipient of the package won't know who is sending it.

    As everyone loves the stats, we are now up to 24:

    BC - 5
    AB - 2
    SK - 1
    MB - 1
    ON - 9
    QC - 4
    NB - 1
    NS - 1

    In the 2014 spring round we had 33 which was a record so we are off to a good start.

    In preparation for this, can anyone recommend a few good sites for uncovering Ontario brewery beer availability in other provinces? I plan to fill a box primarily with beers available only at the brewery, but was curious about a a couple others that I'd like to include that are not brewery only.

    Cheers

    Not really foolproof, but check out legacyliquorstore.com and do a search. It's a decent liquor store that carries a lot of stuff. It's finnicky, so make sure you try "Camerons" and not "Cameron's", things like that.

    I'm in. Am very short on good local beers but am going to send half the beers selected aged between 1 and 3 years. A few may be over the pond but Belgium is a nice country for beer!
    Will do my best to find something special that is local.
