I already had a few of them over the weekend, they were very nice 
.
Just wanted to make sure that you didn’t think I’d sent it to use as a rag as some sort of anti-Beaverken statement.
Mighty thanks!

I will keep on chasing him, I can see his last login to RB was 2 days ago.
Edit: got in touch with the user. Now everything’s fine
Oh well, FrauGruber’s were good NEIPA, but I was truly enjoying traditional German styles from your parcel more. Oh yes, it’s good to go back to the roots sometimes

Today I received a fantastic box from Germany. Covering my wants and sending a good range of asked styles. When i wrote the letter to Santa I asked for Göse, Berliner Weisse, session IPAS…and here is what I Got.
From left to right:
Insel-Brauerei Seepferd
Lemke Black Rye IPA
Lemke Budike Weisse
Heidenpeters Pale Ale
Buddelship Mr. T
BRLO Mango Maracuja Weisse
Munich Brew Mafia Gangsters Paradise
Ale Mania Session IPA
Motel Shady Pines
Motel Savinja Valley
Original Ritterguts Gose
Bayerischer Bahnhof Original Leipziger Gose
Camba 4 Sessions
Blech.brut 44/98
So, this Santa made a great effort with the selection and also includes a friendly letter, with the reasons he chose each beer and a little description of each one, a bunch of coasters and some kind of candy.
So excited with the selection that one beer was already down while writing this post
Many thanks Santa. You rock!!

Yeah, it’s me. That was an easy guess.
I would suggest to put the Blech.Brut in the fridge as well, so it won’t lose its powerful juicy taste/aroma. 
Enjoy!

Thats actually not a homebrew, name and RB ID written on the label. That’s how you buy beer in Moldova in beer shops filled from tap in plastic bottles. Filles 2 weeks ago when I was in Moldova so hope it is still rateable, drink soon! Cogîlnic Viking

So many nice hauls! Wow!
As per tracking info another box has been delivered this morning and one is on the van, ready to be delivered by EOD.
Large 20kg packet was delivered today:
Black Baron Honing Blond (not on RB yet?)
Berghoeve Völle Wille! Red Wine Ale
Berghoeve Juffer Helena (2015 -)
De Smokkelaar La IPA Bonita
IV:uur Bier Zwärrechie
Stanislaus Brewskovitch Koala Beer
DAVO Weizenbock
Othmar Doppel Weizen
Warnsfelder Oswald Weizen Dunkel
vandeStreek Playground Non Alcoholic IPA
Uiltje Back to the Fuggle
Oersoep Orzo Dolce
Zeglis Krachtig Kveik
Hair of the Dog / Ramses Bier Dutch Adam
Wentersch R.I.S.
Kees Barrel Project 19.06
4x Homebrew ranging from Wit to RIS
A bunch of coaster
Some kind of sweets that I’m unsure about the content (help needed) 
And a letter of 2 pages with both descriptions about the beer and the decision why it was chosen. Read the letter first and was even more excited to unpack the beers then. Never thought it’s hard to choose beers for me (beside that I’ve had a lot) as I’m always writing something like “I don’t like Golden Ale and ESB, happy with everything else” but it seems that my generous Santa wants to make every beer tailored to the wants, therefore I gave him not a lot information. He looked closer to my profile then and tried to get Weizenbock which is my favourite style, even if that’s not the most common dutch beer style. I actually had no clue who that could be until making this post and linking the beers. It’s not a suprise that @bierkoning rated most of the beers I received but he is the only rater at a couple beers. So I hope that’s your package, otherwise I have no idea

Tut mir Leit. Nicht mein Paket, Ich mache nicht mit.

But I think I know who sent this package.
Okay…my Santa was so smart not to write his real name on package nor letter. Just a guess with name of the Homebrews (Monster Brews) I can think of @MonsterMagnet - your package?
Yup, that’s right. I thought it would be easier to guess because of the homebrews .
The candy is liquorice, one of my favourites.
Enjoy!

A box arrived today. Earlier posts on here and the fact it was from the Netherlands make me suspect that my Santa is @Benzai.
14 beers in a range of styles plus a very well weighted glass from Oldskool Drinkers Pub. Particularly looking forward to the two De Moersleutel cans as I really enjoyed this Imperial Stout I had from them recently. And I kept thinking I should try more French beers so good to get some craft from there.

You are right @Cuso - is was me And I really had problems to find locals for you! But I hope you can enjoy the box 
It is always fun to pack a box and try to hide from whom it comes

Correct! Hope you like em! Range of styles and I threw in some random extra beers (the French / Flemish one for instance) as I shipped a little later than planned. The Zession is new indeed, I still have to try it myself! Cheers!
