An amazing haul from Germany came to my door today.
A really nice bunch of beers and ciders, including some of my wants, as Dupont Reserve, Uerige DoppelSticke, Schumacher Alt and… a 2008 Thomas Hardy´s Ale!! Amazing!!
Oh, and some chocolate as well, i forgot to include it in the pic, sorry.
As usual, i hope my monkey Braulio lets me try them…
Many thanks to my Santa. I´m guessing Koelschtrinker???. Roman, if so let me know so i´ll give you some nice trade feedback.
Wow a bumper day of deliveries. 28 boxes now sent, one leaving tomorrow and the final one after Christmas due to technical difficulties.
Thank you everyone for being so prompt this year, it’s not fun for santa when he has to chase people!
Everyone has been really generous this year, it makes Santa proud to have you all as his little helpers.
Those of you who have received your beer I hope you enjoy some of them over Christmas and to all of you Merry Christmas!
Yes, even if your not went to me last year I’m quite easy to guess as the only active(ish) NI Ratebeerian!
Hope you enjoy them and your first Northern Ireland ticks…
There were some Christmas beers I wanted to send but didn’t arrive in time, maybe we can do a small trade in the new year if you like?
some goodies which my little sisters already almost ate
If I remember correctly I didn’t mention any needs/wants but new brewery ticks are always very interesting and expesially now when they are from Belgium, one of the most exciting beer countries in the world.
There was name on the parcel but I don’t have any idea who is the sender.
Another German Santa package. That´s more of 3 litres…for sure!!! 19 beers and lot of chocolate. It will be like being in Nordrhein-Westfalen for Chirstmas.
Yesterday I had a lovely package from Secret Santa delivered. Box was full of beers I can’t wait to drink. Most are German just as the sweets I have received - already ate some! Will post pics and descriptions asap though it’s Xmas season and times are crazy at home this time of year.
You guessed correct - it was me
With the Heller’s Wiess - I’m so sorry - I had too many trade-boxed standing here to be packed… I have absolutely no idea how that mistake could happen… But probably you know someone who is enjoying solid German styles as well?
A couple of days ago I received a nice box of 11 beers and a mead from a German Santa, many thanks!
Also included were a couple of marzipan (that were quickly confiscated by my daughter and wife) and a chocolate bar with ginger.
Now, the big question is, who is my Santa? I have really nothing to go on except that I can exclude some German Santas. Also, this Santa seems to be from south Germany, but I don’t really know which new Santas have joined the party and where they’re from!
Without anything to go on, I still have feeling that my Santa is @hauxe, is that correct?
My Secret Santa was also German this year, well-packed box of 12 beers and some hazelnut cookies was delivered just before Christmas, so some of the beers in this picture have already been drunk, all the cookies have been eaten - while rest of the beers are waiting for the right moment.
Thank you @beerhunter1111 for being a great Secret Santa! Nice selection of local German beers (one of them even with no previous ratings!), wide variety of styles, I am especially happy about No 1 rated Alt!
There was not much I could use to understand it was you - but I am pretty sure I got it right!
