EU Santa Winter 2017 - Hauls!

good selection!

I received a box from Finland today! Next to 10 new beers, it also contained a festival glass and - yes, you see that correctly - an actual pillow. Fabulous, thank you Santa!

My guess for the Santa would be VastActiv, is that correct?

Yep, it is from me. Sori Melancholies are from Estonia but they are both very good heavy beers. Pillow was actually just for “making box softer” so I don’t mind if you just throw it to trash.
I suggest that you drink Cool Head Juiciness as soon as possible.

Yeah, I’m sure the Brew Age and also Bevoc stuff is gonna be nice, I’ve had beers from them before, they are widely available in Germany, of course, as the countries are neighbors and very similar.

I’m not so optimistic about the other stuff, but we’ll see.

I received today a lovely box from France. 12 new beers (8 Imperial Stouts!!!), a map, sweets and a christmas card.

Hi Hans Peter, I had a lot of fun preparing all that stuff. I am a vet so I like your picture even more :wink:

Received a fantastic box from the north of the Netherlands today including a great description!! Fantastic stuff I’ve never heard of before! Thank you so much! Only the chocolate-Santa broke on the trip, but that’s no problem!
(and I took the picture in the bathroom as it was completely wet from the outside due to the rain…)

Now I need to guess who my fantastic Santa was… → @ShivanDragon - was it you??

Santa brought me a box of Spanish goodies today!

9 bottles of fresh stuff, my 10th Cream Ale (so many thanks for that, I am trying to finish 10 of each style!), and some Turrón as well as a collection of beer coasters!

Thank you, teddybeer!

Love when Santa is thoughtful like that. A little bird tells me that at least two other packages have been received and have heard from other others yet to send; so hopefully everyone will have parcels by end of first week of Jan barring any customs disasters!

Please remember to mention secret santa when reviewing your beers and if you guess your santa please leave feedback!

Enjoy!

So a box from Netherlands to Sweden arrived just in time for the christmas festivities. While many of the beers for the weekend are already decided I know for sure some of these will be included as well. A whopping 13 bottles of great beers (by the looks of it) according to my wishes as well as three very interesting homebrews including a letter describing all of them (the homebrews kinda gave my Santa away, especially the BW :slight_smile: ) and a massive chocolate bar.

Thanks a lot Santa @MonsterMagnet, was it you?

  • Barley Wine, Blueberry Baltic Porter, Imperial Rye Stout homebrews

Yes, that’s me. I posted it from Austria, it’s cheaper and quicker. Tereza is OK, I will chnage it to 11, and Damian Lichtenhainer is definitely Damian / Pet’s and Pav’s / Dulak Lichtenhainer 12°

I am stupid, or blind, or both, but I can’t post my haul other ways. So:
