HoHoHo!
The warm weather is upon us and has awakened me from my slumber, I hope everyone is in the mood for a bit of festive cheer?
I’d like to organise our annual summer swap. You know the drill by now if you want to take part
DM me with your likes/dislikes & special requests (keep your wish list up to date)
Contact details including email and phone number for couriers
plus where you’re willing to ship to (EU only, EEA, Israel etc)
Try not to post that you’re taking part - lets make this a big surprise!
You’ve got until monday 9th July to apply. Will have pairings set ASAP after that and all boxes should be sent by end of July.
Am afraid I need to close this off to Austrian and German residents, we have over 50% and don’t want to have match people in the same country, the idea is to cover different places.
If anyone can send beer from other countries please let me know as this will make pairing easier.
Please get your apps in by Sunday evening as I want to try to set pairings Monday as I go away for a week after that.
Okay, pairings have been sent out to most of you (waiting for details from a few people you know who you are!!!)
Just a reminder of the rules: Try to send your recipient good beers according to their preferences…minimum 3 litres (you can send more!) Always nice to receive an additional present, food/magazines/glass whatever you like. Some santas like to send a letter to explain their choices
Once you have shipped please inform me of the shipping code; don’t tell your recipient of course!
Recipients, please post your haul pics in this post; you can try to guess your sender - we’ll confirm once everyone has received. Remember to mention summer santa when rating your beers and leave feedback once you find out your sender
Just got a very nice box from Spain full of IPAs, Stouts, some biscuits and a glass. Looking forward to trying these, thanks! I have no idea who my Secret Santa could be, so please let me know. Those biscuits make for great palate cleansers, by the way!
I thought this was kinda funny, but my box is currently scheduled for delivery on 13.07.2017, I guess Hermes has perfected faster-than-light delivery! I hope my recipient will already have enjoyed those beers very much by now !
Box from Germany, Köln arrived yeasterday . Full of APAs, IPAs and original german styles like Koelsch, Altbier and Dopellbock. Included were also stickers, coasters and small packs of Haribo gummi candy used to fill the empty space among bottles. Great idea . Everything packed well and safely.
That’s right, but how could you possibly have “guessed” that !? I live in Cologne, so of course I had to put a Kölsch and Alt in there. There was a also a little Founders bottle opener in there, by the way, I hope you didn’t throw that away by mistake. I was all wrapped up in bubble wrap.
Thanks Paolo from Berlin!
