    As per my hints... First two packages are out and will land soon. 8 beers, 2 breweries and hop heavy but the second boxes each have 4 breweries, 9 beers very diverse styles, possible BAing happening and definitely hit wants. Stay tuned for hints.

    17 beers total for each target. :sunglasses::clap::fire::beers:

    Happy thanksgiving!

    First box off to my target, who happens to live in the city that the 1983 gritty Cansploitation classic "Siege" was filmed and takes place in.

    Hey! Lookit! it's another Canbif!

    It's almost halfway through the month so I guess I should probably post.

    For my target: You live west of me, I drove standard one of the first times in my life in your town, that being said I have only been there once.

    For my sender: I like well made beer. Love big beers, lagerbier, lambic, hype beer, less hype beer. It's mostly all good.

    Not a huge fan of crushingly sour beer.

    Hint to my receiver

    watch closely in the shipper, there should be a 1oz sample of this iconic beer !!!

    if your box come from Quebec, might be the lucky one !

    your box will be gone tomorrow, should be at your place by the end of the week !

    cheers [​IMG]

    Good morning everyone,

    To my target, your box should be picked by today.

    This is the first time I'm sending goodies to your porch.

    I had to search in the past for your like/dislikes and I found one beer style I have so much to offer.

    Most of the Canadian bottles I have are from your province but I found some local gems and a lot from US.

    I hope you will enjoy the content.

    You'r street name is having the same name os a city in your province :O

    Santé

    Good morning my target.
    My box was dropped yesterday.

    It's not the first time I mail to you. In your town there had been a marathon this summer. It was one of the hottest days ever so I feel really bad for these poor runners.

    To my receiver - I'm late posting but putting together a swell box! You're west of me, though that's not hard from NS. We've exchanged here before, though that's also not surprising. Your street sounds like it was made for drinking.

    To my sender - sorry for my tardy post, but good news, I'm not too hard to please. I like good beer! Great if I can't get it in Nova Scotia, though that's not hard. If you would be happy to receive it in a box to drink, I probably will too!

    To my target: you are far west of me and seem to drink at work a lot. The Halifax office put an end to that a couple of years ago.

    I'm sending the goodies in two boxes. The first is scheduled to arrive Oct 26, but hopefully CP can reel that in a bit. Second box to go out next week.

    There is a box of beer headed east! Okay, pretty much everybody lives east of me. Let's narrow it down at least a little bit. The Flower is known to have played there, and D Day was planned there. And now there is a box of beer going there.

    My box has landed, and I just LOVE the selection, thank you so much @Oleksandr_Bogachov !

    Really, I can't say enough about how happy I am to get these. My better half was standing next to me when I was opening it, and she commented that I looked like a 10 year old opening presents at Christmas. :grin:

    In my head, I keep a FOMO / ISO list of things I want from what new beers I read about in the Canada Facebook beer group. My current list was PSRQ, Pumpkin Pie Bestowed and the new Collective Arts OoD can set, as I kept wishing I could have these to open on Halloween weekend. This box has all of those. Also, I love the Rat Queen releases, and there's even the new port barrel RQ included. It would have been on my mental list as well, but I wasn't aware it had even been released.

    On top of all that, the rest of the beers are a perfect hit on my wish list that I posted in this thread- awesome low-abv session-able stuff, all which I have never tried before. There's even a Wood Brothers in there- A brewery whose beers I love and is my nemesis when it comes to 'beers I just can't seem to get a hold of'.

    So, in summary, I don't think this box could have been any more perfect! :sunglasses:

    Sorry, for the above pictures I realized there is a Wood Brothers - Lolly can missing. I had already put it to the fridge yesterday when opening the box, in prep for opening. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Also, I may be wrong on the port RQ? It's either new or I just missed it in the past. Either way I'm really happy to have it come my way.

    It's not new. It's probably a year old. But it's one of my favorite. I should have waited for another week They just released Rye.

    Could everyone shoot me a message and tell me the status of the boxes you've sent and received. We're pulling up to the third free shipping day. Cheers all.

    I just received two extremely generous/amazing looking boxes from "Mystery Ship Records" in Cumberland BC! I'm excited to try it all, but this will be my first bottle of Chuckanut! Thank you so much! Feeling very grateful for getting a wonderful selection of beer.

    Well at least I hope it's beer. Tomorrow is my birthday. :clap:

    02. Tusket Falls - Creamsicle Sour
    03. Maine - Little Whaleboat
