    I am looking to drink some of the top 50Canadabeers I never have tried before. I would be looking for a trader for some of the beer listed below:

    Driftwood Fat Tug IPA
    Central City Red Racer Imperial IPA
    Driftwood Old Cellar Dweller
    Driftwood Naughty Hildegard ESB
    Lighthouse Belgian Black
    Half Pints Le temps noir
    Crannog Back Hand of God
    Russel Hop Therapy
    SherbrookeBad Hare Day

    I have some Heady Topper for trade as well as some Zombie Dust and Fat Head IPA. I also have some other good bottle in my cellar if hops are not your thing.

    I would love to help but can't at the moment. When I'm able to do non IP trades I might drop you a BM and see if you're still looking for BC brews! I have a couple of notes about the BC beers on your list (and sorry if you already know about all this):

    Sadly Crannog don't bottle anything. Looking for another awesome stout in it's place? Maybe try for a Howe Sound Pothole Filler instead, or a Driftwood Singularity if you like your stouts bourbon barrel aged.

    Central City's DIPA is brewed annually (I think) around the spring so any bottles offered now wouldn't be super fresh or delicious. I'd suggest trying a Tofino Hoppin Cretin IPA or Powell St Hopdemonium IPA in lieu of.

    Driftwood's Old Cellar Dweller is great, but I'd also consider the barrel aged version (Old Barrel Dweller) and Central City's Thor's Hammer too.

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll find a host of thirsty BCers jonesing for some DDC (myself included).

    I can definitely assist with some, possibly close to all, of your BC requests.

    Drop me a pm and we can work something out.

    Agree with all of Lurkaholic's comments.

    Nice. Was it still good by the time it made it out to you? I would be worried about the time in shipping for a growler.

    Carbonation was low but still tasty for me.

    I'm told by one of the brewer's here where we get fills (Powell Street) that a fill will last 3 weeks if un-opened. Never last more than a few hours though :stuck_out_tongue:
