A hop bomb with a new malty boys is off, 4200km west. A new destination for me, but we've traded in the past.

Got a package today from BC from Cheese Inc.

The CP lady apologized for the condition claiming the paper caught the door handle. It was mangled. Unfortunately a very good beer was a victim of being manhandled and didn't survive. I will try and salvage what little if any is left in the can leaving in the zip lock bag until the weekend.

Not to sure who my sender is but many thanks.

I will post the details and the line up tomorrow because I am off to bed early because of training at work tomorrow.

Stay tuned!

One dead solider but considering the condition

Many thanks to my sender! @Oakes

Hello BAs! Have a read because it has changed a wee bit!

Spring has sprung and the weather seems to be going back and forth but everything is alive!

Do you know what time it is? Time for CANBIF Spring, 2024!

Please help us get the word out to all BAs out there!
Post about this in your beer groups, home brew clubs, regional and provincial groups, bottle shares, beer buddies and try and make this round better then the last!

Any and all new editions to the trade as well as seasoned veterans of CANBIF I say welcome back and you made a great choice to join!

The process in a nutshell is this so as I have previously stated please read thoroughly and understand the rules/details of how we intend to proceed. Please play close attention to the following details so there is no confusion of expectations of CANBIF. If you can not meet them, especially the specific dates as well as conditions consider just watching this round and figure out for next time if it right for you... Previous rounds can be found here on the BA Canada forum to get a better taste of what is about to come.

So here is the meat & potatoes:

• Registration:

Email/conversation sent to me Electros with FULL ADDRESS DETAILS; City, Province, post code, phone number and personal email before midnight Sunday, April 7th, 2024. Pairing will be completed by Monday, April 8th, 2024. ***You must be willing and able to ship between Tuesday, April 8st, 2024, and as the latest Monday, May 6th, 2024, This information will be stored by myself on this rounds spreadsheet and is intended for your sender as well as emergency contact purposes for myself should any problem arise along the way. Trust me it happens each round so please send it all…

• Participants who have never traded (singularly or in a group trade) need to inform me and I would advise on acquiring a styro-shipper if you have never shipped through the post. This is just a suggestion but certainly not a requirement. Any lost or damaged beer boxes the sender is responsible to replace and contact me to work through the situation.

• Please also inform me if you have regular trading partner on BA. I wouldn’t want to pair you with someone with whom you exchange with or have done so frequently. The fun about this trade is getting local/new to you brew you wouldn’t find in your home market.

• Sign up will be available until midnight Sunday, April 7th, 2024. Pairing will be completed by Monday, April 8th, 2024. ***You must be willing and able to ship between Tuesday, April 8st, 2024, and as the latest Monday, May 6th, 2024, at the latest (weather permitting).

• PLEASE once you have received a message from myself or @Bigarm with your targets information then message me back as soon as possible to just reconfirm one last time all information in regards to your shipping address is CORRECT and you have seen your targets info.

• For anyone interested on how pairing consideration is given here it is in a nutshell… First and foremost previous participants to CANBIF on the basis of where they have sent to as well as received from in previous rounds is looked up by myself. Every round that I have organized is saved as a reference to that the current round will hopefully be getting/sending to some place in the country that is new and or not the same as the previous round. A balance is always tried to be struck in regards to the above and to break down of participants geographically as to be fair to all participants. All are chosen at random once a general geographic location is determined. With new participants targets and senders with be completely at random.

*** That be said ANYONE that is interested in a second box please indicate this in the first email response to me and I will take it into consideration. Second boxes will then be paired with others requesting a second box and or depending on the location balance amongst participants. ***

To be clear as well know that your target is not your sender. 1 sends to 2, 2 to 3 and so on… Senders rarely if any will also be getting a box from those to whom your shipping one too.

Once all target information is sent out the forum then is open to then post your LIKES/DISLIKES of styles and preferences that are your favourites as to make it easier for your sender to make selections of what to send. This is the HINTS portion of CANBIF. Also senders are encouraged also posts hints about there target in an attempt to see if he/she is able to figure out who is sending to them. It is a lot of fun!

If you have an Untappd or Rate Beer account please post it as well as send it to me with with response email when signing up...

There should be no communication between target and sender. If there is any case for concern it should be relayed to myself.

This is the surprise factor of CANBIF that makes it interesting and fun. Who as well as where your sender is shipping from/to remains a mystery.

If there is any question that this shipping date cannot be met then please don’t sign up…

Amount of beers/Volume in millilitres to be sent:

Participants are expected at a minimum to send 16 different beers at a volume of 7500 ml. This roughly works out to 16 x 473 ml, but containers sizes can obviously vary as along as there is at least 16 different brews and the minimum volume has been met… there is NO MAXIMUM sending limit of how many beers are sent. That is left to the discretion/generosity of the sender. There no requirement from where the beer comes from but small locals off the Beaton path would be great but as long as you think it rocks then send it! Creep your target for what they've had and like!

***I urge ANYONE that is new to CANBIF to please use google to easily look up previous rounds for a feel of the festivities, and what to expect. Also don’t hesitate to send me a questions as well as concerns. I am here to help during the trade and regular monitor my inbox to swiftly address and resolve any problems that could arise throughout. ***

Swag is not required, but is optional and always appreciated.

Once you've sent your box in the post put to your target I ask that you send the tracking code to me just.incase any problems arrive but also when it close and or happens that your box lands please shoot me a message. Inversely if you get a box delivered to you shoot me a message. Please don't let time lapse just incase there is any problem.

All participants that sign up are expect to post at least a list of what your box contained here on BA for the beer **** part (Hints & Hauls). This is a showcase that is fun for all and gives everyone a taste of what is being shipped out. It is fun to see what others have received but it also acts to those that were on the fence observing the trade an idea of what they missed out on perhaps giving a push to join us next time.

Please let myself or @Bigarm know if you have any questions/concerns and also maintain communication.

Again, anyone new to CANBIF I suggest googling previous rounds to get a feel of what the experience is like and if it is right for you.

To all those who are returning; welcome back, and to those new; welcome! Please tell your friends, especially those who are returning that know of someone who would enjoys and or doesn’t browse BA that frequently.

Also any feedback about CANBIF I do appreciate. I want this trade to continue going forward considering that BA has now merged with Untappd.

So... LET’S GET IT ON!!!
