    Or, you could just give me a box when we meet up for lunch - I have been watching your Portland hauls... :slight_smile:

    Before anyone asks, the breakdown as of now is as follows:

    Ontario - 10
    BC - 3
    Quebec - 1
    NB - 1

    Clearly need some more west coast and Quebec participants - only 1 week to go.

    Well... I could use some Bellwoods refresher. Do I have to send in my info or do you still have it?

    You should do an Ontario BIF and an ROC BIF :stuck_out_tongue:

    I did participate twice in CANbifs, and it was great! Sadly, I feel like it's not as fun if we don't get a strong west coast participation (or at least AL/SA/MA people) as I drive to Ontario on a regular basis to get some beers from the LCBO

    (Add to that the fact that I'm quite picky about styles, and I feel like it might be a puzzle for the person getting me.)

    Hope you guys manage to get more people in, as it's really a great idea, and I've been quite impressed by the sight of those crazy boxes last time!

    I think as long as you are paired with someone in Southern Ontario you will get lots of goodies that either don't make it into the LCBO or even outside of the brewery - I know I have been lucky in that respect twice.

    Unfortunately for joining in from MB - I didn't stock up any Half Pints over the winter (there wasn't all that much released I think?) which means unless I send Stir Stick Stout, Scrapper, etc I can't make the local requirement.

    We are looking for a couple more people to participate this year. Don’t be shy about joining the fun. It is not about trading rare beers but really about sharing the best locals you have access to. I am sure there a bunch of small breweries across the country that needs this exposure and that people would be glad to discover. I can’t believe we don’t have anybody from AB and barely any from QC.
