It’s that time of the year again. Let’s kill the fourth wave blues with an epic round of Euro Local Swap.
You know the rules
Send at least 3 liters of good, rateable beers from your country, which have not been rated by your recipient yet (and are not available in recipient’s country, when possible)
Some Santa likes to put snacks, beer mats, glasswares, magazines. Make it special!
Post your haul and remember to mention/thank your Santa when rating.
Rate the received beers on Ratebeer.
Don’t forget to leave a trade feedback when you have discovered who your Santa is.
You have minimum 50 ratings and no negative trade feedback. If you have no trade experience, send me a BM. We are always happy to welcome new people.
Subscription ends on 28/11.
To apply, send me a BM with:
address, email, mobile (for contact reasons)
likes and dislikes
If you wish to send to EU only or EU+Norway&Switzerland (&Uk, maybe?).
Don’t spoil your participation here!
Due to the usual high participation rate from Germany, I would ask our German friends if they could represent a nearby country (Austria, Poland, France, Luxembourg ? ) if needed. I will let you know in BM if there are many applications from Germany anyway.
Please make sure to write all those pending trade feedback you have. I will check your last 12 months’ trade history to set the best possible pairings. Chase your trade partners if they haven’t left you a trade feedback yet.

At first I thought it would be pretty easy to guess from whom that came as I recognized the package - it has german scentences on it and duct tape from a german online store which is a smaller one in which I ordered stuff about 1 1/2 years ago. Meaning that might be my package initially and I think the only person I sent beer to in Spain is @Taboada . But I didn’t recognize the sender’s address therefore the package might have done a spanish national trade already and my guess would be
Today I received a fantastic box full of beers from Finland.
So my Suomi-Santa is Janne/ VastActiv! Thanks a lot for this perfect selection. I am very curios about the Sour and Goses!
I know who my Santa is, as I received already a box from him a couple of years ago. Thank you so much @omhper . This was way beyond expectations! And trust me, I will drink for sure the Stormaktsporter. Either for NYE or in February after the Dry January!
I broke my pillow night before sending box and thought it would be good idea to use wool as padding. I think it worked pretty well!
Remember to check beer descriptions because some of them have strange gimmicks! Like Savu-Sirkka has ants and Hertta some strange hungarian paprika spice…
Yesterday I received a crate of beers from Herr Sinter Klaas (that’s what it said on the label ), better known as @Erzengel . The crate packaging is an obvious give away!
In the crate I found 19 very German beers including several Alts which I’m happy with since I totally neglected them when I was in Düsseldorf a few years back Also included a chocolate Santa and some incense cones and a nice little house to burn them in! Thanks a lot Gabriel!
