    Package delivered as of this morning, according to FedEx. Same situation, left at front door without a signature required. Let's hope all is fine :astonished:

    This was my first time trying it out so I hadn't tried the other batches. It be great to get a bottle of a future batch to compare and see the differences. I still found it was a good beer so i'm anxious to see what a good batch taste like! :slight_smile: Oh and I was really impressed with the Cameron's Rye Pale Ale. Great beer!!

    It is still a good beer. I was being a little over-the-top with my previous comment. The previous 2 batches of 10BY were simply amazing and this one just didn't measure it. It certainly isn't a drainpour or anything, just not what it has been in the past.

    The Cameron's is probably the best IPA in Ontario right now. Glad you liked it.

    Found my box waiting on the front porch when I got home today. Everything seems to have made it, though there was some dampness/leakage evident. not sure which bottle is the culprit so may need to drink them fast :slight_smile:

    A nice selection of old favourites, and a bunch that are new to me. Thanks.

    Pic to follow later tonight.

    This is why this BIF is so great. If I recall, you were the one who posted last week that you don't have access to a lot of beers outside of what's at the LCBO. Now you get a box like this full of great beer. I have had my share of beer from Quebec and I have not had a single beer that was in your box!

    Enjoy!

    No wfeddern, I'm not the one who shipped you those great brews! In fact, Cattersley received my shipment (talking about my "pinky", while his avatar is pink, and he lives past the Prince Edward County, a nice emergent wine region)

    Just before I left for the long weekend I got a supplimental package from Cattersley with five very fine bottle openers. Like I said before, I collect pretty much everything beer related, so those were awesome. The two best bottle openers were the Calgary Export and the CP Hotels....as I not only collect anything and everything Calgary Export related, but I also collect Canadian Pacific Railway memorabilia. Thanks again Cattersley!

    Damn, I'm lazy. I will try to get my ass in gear and post a pic soon.

    To my target......don't fret, beer is on it's way. The contents should make up for the wait.

    Glad you enjoyed the stout - its definately one of their better offerings and I they are in the midst of moving into new brewing space which they indicated should mean some more one offs and special brews - hopefully some interesting beers!

    Only three packages have not been delivered and the shipping deadline is tomorrow. You guys are making this too easy on Marcus and I that we are going to have to do a round 2 later on this year!
