    My box is packed up and ready to go. I apologize to my target or the tardiness. I am hoping that the inclusion of this past weekend’s local barrel aged release and a barley wine from deep in my cellar make up for it.

    Weather looks good down east so I am hoping this arrives cool, not cold.

    Cheers.

    We seem to have a catering lull in posting pictures of hauls!

    Is it me?

    It probably won't be at my local post office though... It never is on the day of delivery... :angry:

    Tomorrow will be a good day!

    My wife was home and got it inside (though it was a balmy +2 high today. Presently we have a blizzard!) and what a full box it was! S many beers... I am sure I am going to screw up listing some of them:

    That's one FULL box and amazing haul. Thanks SO MUCH!!!!!

    Whoops, forgot to mention that it also had a ton of stickers from breweries near and far, and what appears to be a $20 gift card to a brewery in BC?

    As for my target, I know that you know that I know that you know that I know who you are...

    My box is in the mail tomorrow and while it was not one of those sent at the Incept1on of this BIF, I am Surly that you will find some of the things Ludicrous in this box. Nonsuch the less, I am sorry for my tardiness, but it will be taking a ride down the Trans Canada and am looking forward to you getting it!

    Happy it arrived safe and sound!

    The gift card is still active, and good for 20$. The catch is you first have to get to BC then you have to get to Mission, BC... which would probably prove too much for most people.

    If I were you I would prioritize all the cans (with the exception of the 2 crows cans). Enjoy!

    My box to my target is on its way, you should expect to receive it this Friday. Sorry for the delay in shipping but I was on a mission to build the best box I could. I went to the outer reaches of my beer hunting territory to find the best possible brews I could. This post is also a hint, it will hopefully be obvious once you receive the box that I'm your sender based on this post. A little detective work on the shipping label will reveal I was your sender.

    Box received. I ran across the street to get a coffee and when I got home the box was sitting there waiting for me

    Heavy!!!

    I may need to wait until later tonight to open as I am on baby duty the rest of the day. They seem thoroughly disinterested in beer for some odd reason.

    Well, I am not quite sure what the postmen did but the box did not arrive last Friday as I had expected but landed in Nisku yesterday where unfortunately it hit an empty home. It now resides at the post office ready to be picked.

    The postman also happened to hit my home today. I would like to think that the box that I will pick tomorrow is full of beer!

    Lol, that would have been one well traveled beer indeed!

    To my target... the BBMD has cleared the prairies... hopefully not frozen... presently it's out in the warmer rain of a former German named town. I suspect it'll wait till the morning to be delivered since you can't wreck a business' delivery room after hours :wink:
