I picked up a box from Estonia today, so perfectly packed that it would survive WW3.
To my delight it was filled to the brim with Estonian beers. I had requested lighter beers, beers from new interesting breweries and - if possible - koduõlu. I scored jackpot :smiley:

Many thanks to @martjoobolut

Beers included, with reservation that I might have mistaken one koduõlu:
Nöösker Rahutu Loom
Veski Ranna Lõvi
Anderson’s A’le Not
Pühaste Suvi
Tanker / Van Moll Animal Instinct
Käbliku Alehop
Käbliku Pilsner Urukell
Humalakoda Kuuse Willem
Toht Taavi
Waht Imperial Stout
Humalakoda 13
Humalakoda 13 Wine BA
Pihtla Koduõlu Sour
Pihtla Õlu

No mistakes in koduõlu department :slight_smile:
Nice to see that it didn’t explode :smiley:

Yesterday I came home to a great box from Taboada, an impressive amount of cider and a nice selection of regional craft.

Many thanks chap. There’s been some difficulties with this one, with a box being destroyed in Spain, so I’m glad this got here ok. Will look forward to those ciders!

Enjoy Mat. Glad that the second package finally made it. I see a can a bit damaged but I hope that at least you can save a small pour of that one…

I tried to do a 50/50 (galician beer/basque cider). I hope you like it!!

Cheers,
Alex.

No that can was fine, it was heavily dented so I had it that night!

Yes really didn’t expect that much cider so many thanks for those - got a bottle of the cider in the fridge for tonight. Nice, sunny day here so perfect weather for it!

Finally received my box from @Cuso after the first one was sent and back and forth within Germany a few times and then ultimately returned to sender because of damages. Looks like a very nice selection of interesting beers, especially looking forward to the Chilli Black IPA, plus some beer marmalade.
