Euro Secret Santa 2019 - XMAS edition

Nop, not me :slightly_smiling_face:

Very nice box! But I think it will be very hard for you to guess your Santa. :slight_smile:

Got a very nice box from the Netherlands today.
I dont have a clue who is the sender.

Big Thank you!!!

Good morning everyone.

Sorry for the silence, but I’ve been very busy in the last days (That’s why I haven’t replied to all BMs yet)

All parcels sent. (edited)

Two parcels lost :frowning: Report has already been filed for both to the relevant delivery companies. Let’s hope they manage to find them before Xmas.

…and one finally found its way.

It seems I have been good this year. I don’t know if there already is a Dream Team of Berliner Weisse & Gose, but I’m sure this selection could be close to it—including one Gose from Ohne Bedenken, the pub that saved the style—followed by 4 cans from new german breweries, and some chocolates from the oldest factory in Germany. :slight_smile: :grinning:

Thanks a lot to my secret Santa for the collection, the candies and the letter. Awesome!

When I got home yesterday evening from a business trip I found a black box waiting for me. An oddly shaped box, totally wrapped in black plastic and one side of it feeling all mushy.

Uh oh…

I cut the plastic open and it smelled like someone poured down a bottle of Islay whisky. Oh nooz! Oh yes, it turned out it was a smashed bottle of Brewdog Paradox Islay. A shame, but I never had cardboard soaked with beer smell so good! :grinning:

It turned out that was only the beginning of a very generous box of beers and an awesome selection in its own right.


From left to right:

Also included are Christmas cookies and a card!

Thanks you very much Santa @Sebilinz! A very generous selection indeed, that I am really happy with and I sure will enjoy!

Cheers! :beers:

I am impressed by the high quality of beers sent in this round. One of the best swaps so far. And the best is yet to come… I know It!

Glad that one parcel that was marked as lost has indeed been delivered.

Keep 'em going!

After some research, I guess my Secret Santa might be @rauchbierlover, let me know if I’m right or not :slight_smile:

Yes, it’s me. It should have not been that difficult.

Enjoy the Edel-Gose from Ohne Bedenken asap, if I remember well it was the only one with best before in December :wink:

We’re almost done. Five boxes on their way, one lost (hope to find it soon) and one delivered but not picked up yet.

If you haven’t guessed your Santa yet, I think now it should be easier to. (expecially for @Sebilinz ,@ShivanDragon and @markoijelena )
