    To my target - the box magically made it's way to Ontario and is now 25km away from your porch, possible delivery in the next couple of days, perhaps before Canada Day?

    Update - delivered today. Ok that's a 3 business day regular parcel delivery from BC to Ontario, that's a record right? Some has a big ol box of beer at their front door.

    One of my targets sent out a beer to his target that I was planning on sending to him..........??
    For boys living out East they've sure had their fair share of beers from the West, especially my target that does live in Ontario........ Seriously though they've tried many of the beers I had planned on sending, at least they have basically the same preferences making my life a little easier while I'm out shopping.:sunglasses:

    I kinda want to drink that High Life! My front porch as well as a large portion of my drive and one of my garage doors has been obliterated. I am at a loss for words. A massive thanks to @westcoastbeergeek ! Stay tuned...

    Dropped my box to CP tonight.

    First hint. My target has sent me Canbif beer before. Our beer preferences are very close.

    To my target, I have a box ready but my wife started a new job last week and my ability to get out to the post office has been affected. I should be able to send it off either later this week, or else on Monday.

    If you like this post I’ll toss in this can which I think is great. Smoke! Cans don’t count towards the bottle total, do they?

    Going to ship out my box in the next few days, that being said if my target likes this post I will include a mixed ferm saison I brewed. Its one of my favorite things that I have brewed in a while, its a few years old and should age gracefully for another couple years.

    My box landed in a very blue western province today. I had hoped that my target would receive the shipment for Canada Day, but it should be delivered by the end of week at the very latest.

    A couple final clues that should tip off my target, or at least narrow it down to a select few.

    - This years summer solstice brought about 17 h 33 m of sunlight to your city.
    - Home to the largest annual exhibition of it's kind (sadly cancelled this year).
    - You probably know what Chinook winds are.

    These will likely be my final clues. Hopefully everything is received in short order and in pristine shape.

    Keep those pics coming people!

    Getting the box together to be sent out hopefully end of week. Tough sledding finding some things as no one is making big beers right now around me. Everyone is ripping out beer as fast as they can. Going to have to deplete my cellar a bit for these and my target is going to enjoy in my tears of letting a few of these go.

    Hint. Headed to a province with less COVID than mine. Also in a province that I had planned on doing a summer vacay there this year but now.........probably not.

    Two boxes dropped off this morning.
    One would take 32 hours of driving time from Calgary passing through several States and the second would see me drive 40 hours without leaving Canada..........
