    I like everything mostly from big IPAs (especially NEIPAs) European lagers (dry hopped are appreciated), British ales as well as big stouts and porters, Belgians. I am happy to try anything new. My apologies I don't really review much and being of the older age range I am not an app guy so no Untqppd. If it big and packed with flavour I'll likely dig it! I echo @Electros , not a fruit/sour/wild beer guy. I like my Parmesan on spegetti not in my beers. :stuck_out_tongue:

    As for target you're west of me. Your a long time CANBIF participant and are well be traveled! I shall do my best to get a great assorted mix!

    Hey, I'm easy to buy usually, I want new beer. I'm open to most styles, though maybe not big on the milder stuff like kolsches, amber ales, etc.

    I've just recently been to Edmonton so I feel up to date there, but the entire rest of the country is basically fertile ground.

    I'm a bit of a ticker and use untappd. I pretty much like all styles, with a soft spot for more uncommon things like dark mild, Rauch, imperial pilsner, or even more obscure. Bonus points will be given for chili beer. Pumpkin beers are fine by me. Also enjoy dry ciders. Who doesn't love fresh hazy ipas or barrel aged dark beers?

    My target is west of me and I don't think I've sent to or received from you before.

    Likes: I am super basic, and I LOVE hazy IPAs, NEIPAs, West Coast IPAs, any kind of IPA really, especially if it is brewed differently (like champagne IPA or brett IPA), saisons, barrel aged sours, wild ales, and anything with funk. I could get an entire box of hazies from Messorem and I would be happy

    Dislikes: lagers, pilsners, red/brown ales, kettle sours & wheat beers especially hefeweizen. I’m not crazy about stouts & porters, but open if you have something great.

    I am not super great at ticking my beers, but am on untapped as lena.dee

    I'm a ticker, I tend to drink 'some beer' now and then :wink:
    Thus I'm always on the lookout for new beers, new breweries, and even new styles.
    I tend to lean towards the dark side of beer with a sweet tooth. Generally the type of beer I'm not much a fan of is overly bitter. Though a balanced NEIPA, DIPA or TIPA is always welcomed. Ciders and Meads are welcomed too.

    I primarily use untappd to keep track of things.

    I like to try new beers, or anything you deem is great

    Likes: Most things, Stouts (coffee, fudgey, chocolatey, aged), RIS, IPAs, Belgians, special praise to Hefeweizens, ESB, Marzens & Pumpkin Beers. Prefer WC & EC IPAs (hops & malt) to NEIPAs.
    A lesser-known style, or something unique, I'm game.

    Dislikes: Sours (although funky beers are good), wine-aged, rum-aged, bourbon-bombs, peaty scotch aged beers.

    Hint: you're a ticker, like most that are in CANBIF and I think I can manage to get you some beers from a few places I think you've never had after sloothing previous rounds. I hope you enjoy!

    They are accepting packages. Delays will occur. No free shipping Tuesdays. This sucks. I think I will be shopping around to see if other services are cheaper.

    Going to try to get my box out this weekend it is certified fresh (hint 5).

    Shipping could be a challenge this round so reach out if you need help or to give an ETA.

    Cheers.

    I'm gathering more beers over the week. Won't be able to ship before the 27th.

    My target lives somewhere I've visited in the past couple of years.

    I am putting on the final touches to my box which will hopefully be out and dropped off this Sunday. I've looked at previous rounds and Ive gotten suds from places that are both new and and one old. Should be a good mix. Included two cans of something I didn't think I would like just for fun. Cheers!

    I’m still gathering some cans for my target who lives in the motor city. It’s a tasty box so far, but I’m hoping to add some fresh hops this weekend.

    I’m going to price out Chit Chats for shipping, and will keep you all posted.

    My 22lb box is headed to my shipper today. I’ve used Chit Chats, which is great if your package isn’t going rural. It saved me $18 on this shipment vs Canada post.

    Last hint is my package is headed to the province who had a disappointing loss last night.
