Canbif, Spring 2018!

Oooh, just checked on box #1 and tracking shows:

Delivered to recipient's back door
Good thing it doesn't appear to be too hot a day, nor raining... imagine it'll be pretty safe back there.

 

box #2 is out for delivery as of many hours ago... appears to not have been delivered yet. This may not be such a bad thing, appears to be a hot day of 24⁰

 

This is not me

 

well box #2 has been delivered, so they both arrived the same day =)

 

Holy heck! I just had a giant box with 20 beers land unexpectedly on my doorstep... It's huge & amazing! Thanks. Pics soon.

I had signed up for this when the weather was cold and it slipped my mind. To my target, who lives in a city where their NHL playoffs ended earlier than in my city I am sorry but I am going to get a box on its way ASAP!

 

I've got two boxes today. I didn't have time to take the full inventory but this is the first one from the far west!!

Damn this is the biggest surprise boxe I've got from now. MY first beer will be the Fremont one and will the first from this brewery!

I'm looking forward to know you more really soon

Psst. My 3 years little boy was so excited to open the box like I was!!

 

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy the beers. Those beers you're tried are prime examples of the good change happening out east right now

Oui, c'est moi! Je suis content que c'étais une bonne surprise pour vous et tons fils. Un petit chose, je croie que le Bourbon Barrel-Aged Aztec c'est de 2014.

Profitez-vous bien de cettes bières!

Aye, 'twas me! Glad they're all new, hope you enjoy most of them, if not all =) You're very welcome!

 

I didn't know you knew how to speak East Coast Brian.

 

You are correct. I am the sender. I hope you enjoy the beers. The Alesia is quite different and is supposed to be cervoise based on a an interpretation of what it could have been in 50 BC.

 

It took a while but that is what life does to you.

As you see there are many great beers on the picture. I am quite please with what I received. Obviously Plead the Fifth and Cigar City's Raspberry Halo will be savoured. I also got quite excited when I saw the Nanatsu No Taizai (collaboration Godspeed/Dieu Du Ciel!).

Big thanks to Coronaeus for a really nice box.

 

Glad you like it. It was nice to be able to send a surprise box to a good trade partner. Cheers!!

 

Second box got delivered last night. Huge porch crusher from BC. Great mix of styles and can't wait to try the Imperial Smoke!





Glad to see the numbers of new breweries opening across the country. A coupe of years ago it would have been hard to imagine a box without Driftwood or Four Winds beers coming out of BC. Thanks to whoever sent this to me.

 

lol, yup... though in Vancouver I'd have more use having learned Chinese as child, my parents put me in French immersion. No complaints, as it's helped well with picking up other Euro languages =)

 

Good for your parents!! Everything to gain and nothing to lose by learning a language!

 

I had not asked you for trade lately as I am trying to get the number of beers in my basement down!
