    @CaptainMurphy i agree, i'm happy with new beers more then anything, if there is something special, that's just a bonus.

    My take on it is, it doesn't have to be bombers.
    As Electros mentioned, earlier in the thread, the best way to see how it rolls is check out the thread from Spring 2017. Every does it a bit different. The read have pictures of mostly people's hauls or at least lists and that should give you a decent representation of how it goes.

    Hi there, I'm a new member, and new to trading. I've got a couple of friends who've participated in the past (and still are) so I have a good idea how it works. I messaged Electros the required details. Looking forward to it!

    I agree. I fit whatever I can into the shipper and work around whatever size bottles/cans I have. That being said, your better beers are often found in bombers, and tall boy cans are becoming very popular.

    It is amazing what you can do with a styro shipper. I recently received a 6 bottle styro shipper that contained 13 beers!!

    My only advise is to ziploc each bottle/can. Leaks are the enemy.

    I sent 24 cans last time.

    Edit: actually we discovered that air pressure can be a prob with cans. We arrived here in TO With an empty can with no obvious holes had leaked all over the luggage. Empty can but not open? Odd. Craft seals can be suspect. Ymmv

    One more week to sign up for this round of Canbif.

    As it stands right now we have 41 participants signed up!

    We have no one from Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as Saskatchewan. It would be cool if we had all provinces represented if there are any BA's from those provinces still waiting in the wings come on and join the party! :grinning:

    NL has very strict importation laws - it's the reason Fedex won't ship alcohol anywhere in Canada as a company policy.
