CANBIF - From the Cellar, 2022! (Round IV)

Looking forward to this one! I'm pretty easy to please, almost anything cellar-able is right in my wheelhouse. I'm not big on sours but honestly I'm happy to try anything my sender wants to throw in the box. Cheers!

 

Target lives in a Province in which I loved for the first 27 years of my life.

Target has posted in this thread, and may or may not have posted a list of styles liked/disliked.

If my target likes this post, he or she will receive a beer that comes in a bottle in a tube or box.

 

BTW, my untappd is here:

https://untappd.com/user/curtismoncton

 

LIKES: Coffee in beer! Like everyone else on here, I enjoy old ales, barleywines, and BBA stouts that aren't diabetes sweet. I'd be happy with anything barrel-aged that isn't stomach-dissolvingly acidic or tastes of diacetyl. I like quads/dubels, but find tripels too spiced. Anything dry and clean. Wee Heavies. Gimmie that crazy ABV shit. Well-made or innovative mead (Schramm's, B. Nektar). Or beers that incorporate mead/wine or grapeskins/must.

DISLIKES: Smoked beers. Rum barrel-aged. Lactose in beers other than milk stout. Most spiced or fruited beer. Most recent IPAs - DIPAs are great, but not NE IPAs. I don't tend to like IPAs with a piney profile or hop burn/aggressive hopping either. As a rule, I tend to find most lagers skunky.

You can find me on Untappd with the same username, and I'll send Electros a link to my cellar. Thanks for reading my monologue.

 

Zesty Mordant..............

 

Target 1: You live close to two different Costco! What a world. What convenience!

Target 2: You live near a neighbourhood name checked in one of my favourite songs by one of my all time favourite bands. The song also mentions drawing with sugar and a beverage tasting bad. Have you heard it?

 

Got a package ready to be shipped out early this week, to a recipient very far east of me.

 

Earlier iterations of this BIF suggest an affinity for barrel aged beers Mr. Target. I will endeavour to lean heavily in that direction. It may be another week or so before I get the box out, but I will send before the window closes.

 

You are my only target

hints:

you live in the maritimes.

you live at 1372km far from my house.

You didn’t mention any prefered styles nor mention your untappd details in the main thread. But I was lucky enough to find your infos: I had 3 bottles waiting in the cellar for you, that was on your untappd’ wish list !

I have join untappd 7 years before you.

Your box is on your way sooner than later !

Have a nice week !

 

Sorry for my tardiness! Was on vacation for a little bit.

I like big malty beers (both dark and amber). Barrel-aged ones are great. Cognac barrels rule-- rum too, and of course bourbon. Adjuncts are fine but the fresher the better if adjuncts are involved (IMHO).

Not a huge lactose fan but I will drink it.

I don't particularly care for sour beers, unless you think it is truly remarkable/special. Balanced tartness is ok in a mixed-ferm saison kind of setting-- I like a nice white wine BA mixed-ferm saison. No "aged" clean saisons please-- that ain't right.

TL;DR send me good beers and I will be happy =)

 

To my target: you live west of me (duh), but not as far west as some folks in the thread.

I think that maybe your nominal township may only have 1 Tim Horton's, which is kind of blasphemous if you really think about it.

 

One package off and away to a recipient who lives in a town that may or may not be named after a singer named Micheal, or a sadistic character from Game of Thrones.

 

I thought I had this box figured out, LOL.......
+355ml
+750ml
+330ml
+473ml
+341ml
+750ml
=2999ml...................


I've haven't met the 3000ml minimum requirement.........
Back to the old drawing board.........

 

Handed my box over to Canada Post this morning!

 

Can’t wait to find out what’s in your box !

wasn’t sure about your first hint.
But now I am 100% confident I was your target !

will get your box on time for the holidays !

thanks in advance !

 

To my target, you're east of me, and I'll get your package into the mail this coming week.

To my sender, I like big, bad high abv beers - imperial stouts (including adjunct/dessert stouts), belgian beers, old/strong ales, barley wine - and always appreciate anything barrel aged. I like saisons as well.

Generally NOT into sour beers anywhere on the spectrum - Please NO kettle, flanders, gose, berliner weiss,etc.).

I like trying new things - pretty easy to please outside of sour land!

 

My post got deleted..........
I guess the mods didn't like the link I posted to a close up picture of Randy's gut?
I thought it was a great hint,

 

Hint 1:
Your street shares similarities to an NHL team

Hint 2:
I've worked beside your province and flown over many times, but never been in.

News 1:
These are all new beers for you (checking untappd), but right up your alley.

 

The beers have arrived! What a haul this is. I've not heard of most of these before and they all look delicious.

My guess at the sender? Well a good hint always helps,
Thanks a bunch mystery-ship. They all landed safely.

Haul:
Deschutes Brewery The Abyss Coconut
Brouwerij Kees Caramel Fudge Stout
Driftwood Brewery Singularity (2022)
Luppolo Brewing EVOLUTA V (BBA)
Strange Fellows Strange Resemblance
Garden Path Fermentation The Garden Paths Led To Flowered

 

Hint #2 for my target: There is a movie set of sorts that's only about a 5 minute drive from your house, that seems to be a place that Playboy may have filmed some things at

 

Hope you enjoy, Cheers!

 

Very curious about the Belgian pastry stout! Had a double take reading it, thinking....this is out of the norm!

 

Hint 3: I've never traded with you before, but I've had a CANBIF sender from your province in the past.

 

To my sender: Got a notification that the box is dropped at my building. Cannot wait to open it tonight. Yammy beer is coming.

To my target: Also got settled in the CP office today. Will go to an ocean shore either East or West. Not sure yet.

 

Hint 4:
The package is on a 2031 km journey,
