Canbif, Spring 2018!

Mailed my boxes in opposite directions. They should arrive on May 9 and 10. One of my targets has a lot of ticks, so hoping there's some new goodies and existing favourites in there. Fingers crossed Canada Post does what it's supposed to do... -)

 

Is it normal for me to have these kinds of emotions over waiting for a box in the mail?
I'm kinda freaking out over here. In a good way.

 

To my senders, be patient the boxes are leaving Monday.

 

patience indeed... as I too am delayed in my sending. My boxes are due to head out early in the week... possibly Monday. I've got 'em nearly finalized...

Thanks for the awesome box!

 

Looks like my targets box is out for delivery today....

Hint: What about it daddy cool?

 

Second box went out yesterday. Going West but should be there by mid-week.

 

A titannic box of east coast goodies should be landing today in a lovely suburban cul-de-sac backed against trees and near a football field/running track that seems confused as to where it is. The weather should be getting up to damn near 20 so it would be the perfect day to enjoy a fresh can of something out on the deck.

 

I suspect I will be drinking Oceans of Fantasy from some new beer today.

 

Many thanks Taylor Tmappin for an amazing batch of east coast goodies! The IPAs are already in the fridge. Every beer is new to me and a great mix of styles and breweries! Everything arrived intact, but I laid the shipper to rest after this round!

Super happy that everything arrived in one piece!! Sorry for the super beat shipper, It had a good innings though!

 

My kid and me are still checking each day at the door if any boxes are coming. I'm so excited

 

The "Ice Boat Barrel Aged Imperial Stout" is really a nice one

 

It's ok, I have more shippers than I know what to do with!

 

well one of my boxes was shipped today... and while on my way out of the door I was informed a box had arrived... first world problems... so much beer and not enough arms. Alas, tomorrow morning will be when I can open that box.
As for the shipped box, out it went, and far far east it goes... not as heavy as my previous boxes, but I hope what it lacks in volume makes up for itself in quality. I did make effort to appeal to your tastes and things you haven't rated. So enjoy my target... as hopefully by next Monday it shall arrive =)

As for my other target... problem with not enough arms... thus since you are not as east, but still east I opted to send yours tomorrow.

 

A super bad-ass Alberta box crushed my porch today from kbudd19!

A great mix of all new beers......hops, barrels and bugs, plus a couple of much appreciated lagers. Cheers, brother! You must have done your homework to find a lambic I hadn't had yet, too. The St. Louis Kriek had been on my wish list for for forever and I just never lucked into finding it. Kudos. Super happy to get to try so much new Alberta stuff. I lived in Calgary until 2012, but haven't had much of an opportunity to try any new AB breweries since then. Can't wait to get cracking on these. Thanks for the great CANBIF box!
