Six parcels are travelling to their final destination (apart one that seems to have taken a longer route :thinking: ). I think a couple of them should arrive within Saturday already. One is expected to be delivered on 5th August.

For three parcels there is an agreement with both parts to have them delivered after the due date, this means 10 parcels are still left to be sent. Five working days to go, so no problem. Enjoy your shopping and pack your beers safely :slight_smile:

Santa :santa:

So here it is! Missus despite initial attitude didn’t throw it away and in exchange I’m sure she will appreciate sweet treats. And kvas, I’m so afraid of this style I didn’t try it yet :wink: Thank you Santa aus Köln who I think I’ll identify based on summer 2018 exchange :wink: !

A note to myself as a newcomer to Santa’s world, always keep in mind a tribute to eventual missis!

A huge thankyou to my Flemish Sinterklaas for such a generous and well considered parcel! Very happy to receive a new oak aged La Trappe, the latest Fils et Papa, a fruity de Cam, a hazy IPA (which i know can be difficult to find in Belgium!) and some new breweries to explore!

Once i’ve finished my two week rest from alcohol ill start cracking these open!

I just received a great and very well-packed box of hyper-local Dutch IPAs and Stouts from @TomHendriksen(?)! I never heard of any of these breweries, so it will be very interesting to try them, looking forward to it :slight_smile:. Also, the Oak-Aged La Trappe is a great touch, of course.

There were also some tasty licorice snacks, waffles, a set of coasters and a personal letter in there, some of them even wrapped up in wrapping paper. I’m munching on the Muntdrops right now, they’re quite nice. The coaster up fron really speaks to me, by the way :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Now a guess for my santa, was it you @snowcrash000 ?

Yes, it was me :slight_smile:. I hope you will enjoy the beers from some of Germany’s best breweries that I purchased as fresh as possible, most of them from the German Top 50 style lists. Especially the FrauGruber cans are world-class NEIPA in my opinion and not easy to get a hold of. I’m also glad that I was able to get you two rare ticks closer to completing your beer styles :smiley:.

Parcel from Slovakia has arrived in Nivala!

Lots of new breweries for me! Unfortunately parcel had very rough trip and 2-3 bottles had been exploded totally. Luckily package was wrapped in plastic so there was no leak outside box. One of the missed beers had to be dark sour because smell of the cardboard was… interesting.

Thanks very much… Wendigo?

Nice guessing Janne, it was me…

I´m sorry for those smashed bottles (delivery tooks 8 days), unfortunately the more interesting ones… The smell was a blend of:
Unorthodox Butcher of Blaviken
Donovalsky pivovar Winter IPA 15%
Hellstork LTD 09 Fruit Sour Ale - Bergamot + Blueberry 13°
and the smell of wet cardboard… so, no dark beer, but you were correct with that sour.

I got one correction for you, that Medobeer is actually: Včelco Medobeer Honey Blonde

I hope, rest of the bottles are in good condition to enjoy them…

Cheers,

Wendigo

After four days in a parcel shop without a chance to pick it up (f*ck u DHL!), I finally managed to put my hands on my Santa’s box.

Amazing packaging. A box in a box packed so safely. It took me some time to open it.

The wait was worth it. Amazing selection according to my taste/wants

It would have been hard to guess my Santa since the name was not visibile on the parcel (they sticked another label over the original one), but checking the rates of the beers from Wales, I would say @minutemat

Is it you?
