    LET'S GET IT ON!!!

    CANBIF: From the Cellar, 2025!

    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 FRIDAY, JULY 25TH.
    • Please also inform me if you have regular trading partner on BA.

    • Pairing will be available by JULY 27 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 should 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 MONDAY JULY 28 and no later then MONDAY AUGUST 18, . 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, 8 beers at minimum volume of 4000 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!!!

    I'm in. Looking forward to it. To anyone on the fence - that was me for several rounds recently. If you participate this round, you'll get your mojo back.

    I like anything well made including odd styles (wheat or rye wines).

    Please no sours, fruited wilds or lambics.

    Cheers!

    Pairing coming tonight. Sorry for the delay.

    Hint 1: It's going west of me.

    Hint 2: I believe this could be the first time I've sent to you but have received from you before.

    Hint 3: Gloriosus et Liber!

    Cheers!

    Likes: barley/wheat/munich/rye wines, imperial stouts, Belgian dark strong / quad, Scotch ales, Adambiers, eisbocks, and anything else big and malty that fits into this category. Also anything listed above that's been put into a spirit barrel. Lambic is also good though I'm generally looking for maltier styles here.


    Dislikes:
    Wild ales / sour beers (including Flanders Reds & Oud Bruins); Brett beers that shouldn't be Brett beers; beers that are too old for what they are

    Hint 1: I'm sending east to a province where a well-known MP is no longer an MP.

    My likes are the big, bad stouts, bocks, scotch ales, barley:wheat wines, etc. Barrel aged is always great, and I’m happy with or without adjuncts. Also any of the Belgian/trappist ales sit well with me.

    Dont like: Sours of any kind, or wine aged beers. Not usually a fan of wild beers either, but I would try one if you think it’s amazing.

    I sent my box out over the weekend! Don't take this necessarily as meaning my target is someone who already posted their likes/dislikes... there are previous CanBIFs to reference as well :wink:
