    LET'S GET IT ON!!!

    CANBIF: From the Cellar, 2023!

    This special round of this CANBIF only involves beer to be sent either from your own cellar or a specialty release that is highly cellerable.

    This is a unique opportunity to dust of a bottle to be shared which you have already enjoyed and have an extra of or to pass along a cool small batch release that would age nicely.

    The rules are specific. Please take care to read through and understand the rules/details of how we intend to proceed.

    Please read them all in detail so there is no confusion of expectations and if you can't meet them evaluate if you should sign up.

    The rules are as follows:
    Registration is through Email/conversation sent to Electros with full address (City, Province), phone number and personal email before midnight on Monday, July 1st, 2024.
    • Please also inform me if you have regular trading partner on BA.
    • Pairing will be available by July 3rd, 2023, at the lastest. Pairing consideration is given to previous participants on the basis of where they have sent and recieved in previous rounds. A balance is always tried to be struck in regards to the above and to break down of participants geographically. All are choosen at random. Also know that your target is not your sender. 1 sends to 2, 2 to 3 an so on.
    • There should be no communication between target and sender. If there is any case for concern it ahould be relayed to myself. This is a surprise of who/where your sender it shipping from. Everyone should post a likes/dislikes and preferences of styles that are your favourites. Since this is intended for a box of cellarable beers please be specific. Also if you have an untappd profile please share everything and post it!
    • You must be willing to ship between Friday, JULY 5th and no later then, Monday, JULY 29TH. If there is any question that this shipping date cannot be met I would appreciate a consideration of not signing up for this round.
    • Beers sent can be of any container size, 6 beers at minimum volume of 3000 ml, no maximum total that is up to the generosity of each sender. The contents of the box can be local, interprovincial or international. No restrictions.
    • Swag is not required, but is optional. Once sign up is complete please post hints of styles preferences as well as dislikes... I don't like sours. :wink:
    Please let myself know if you have any questions/concerns and also maintain good communication throughout. Please check your messages!

    Questions, comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.

    Cheers all!!!

    Likes: ESB, WC IPA, Malt backbone IPAs , balanced stouts, fudgey stouts, Hefeweizens, red ales, all lagers, anything well crafted.

    Dislikes: sours (although funky beers are good), wine aged, or rum aged beers.

    I like to review new beers, and if you like it, I'll try it.

    My main hope for cellar edition would be big malty beers, whether stainless or barrel-aged. Especially barley/wheat/munich wines. Imperial stouts definitely welcome too, eisbocks, etc. etc.

    Other than those, I'd be fine with any big Belgian beers (tripels, quads, etc.) or Brett & super saisons, etc.

    Not a fan of Oud Bruins, Flanders Reds, imperial sours, imperial pilsners, big wine-barrel-aged malty beers. Also don't really care for lactose as an ingredient in a cellarable beer. As a general rule, I don't drink much sour beer unless it's something a bit more complex & balanced like Lambic.

    For others who don't want "sours," does that mean you wouldn't want to receive Lambic either?

    This is my first time do this version of CANBIF and will do my best for my target.

    As for me any interesting you'd like minus sours, lambics, lactose or fruited beers. My tastes are pretty much the same as my Spring preferences.
