A box arrived on wensday from Holland with a fantastic selection: 13 interesting beers from which many sours ( my favourite style). New beers, new breweries new style for me (Gose) along side with some sweets (my son love licorice) costers stickers en one opener. Hartelijk bedank @TomHendriksen

A couple of days ago I found a package in the hallway. It wasn’t a box I noticed to my surprise, but a complete crate!

My 4yo was happy to assist with the unpacking and his outcries were a joy to hear: “daddy daddy loook! There is ANOTHER one in there!” He took the words right out of my mouth.

I can’t create such a nice overview on my phone like some of you probably do in a second and I also haven’t looked them all up, but here are the pictures of an epic box (well…crate) with lots of beers and super tasty chocolate!

Benzai · May 12, 2019, 7:31am

Huge thanks @Erzengel !!!

Benzai · May 12, 2019, 4:57pm

Update: 22 boxes sent, 2 delayed with notification. Means I still don’t have info on 3 boxes, 4 days past final shipping date! Come on guys, don’t let your recipient wait!

11 boxes received so far by my count!

Taboada · May 13, 2019, 2:44pm

Just picked up an amazing box full of dutch beers. Awesome selection by @Maakun, including 4 new dutch breweries for me (Rock City Beers, Bronckhorster Brewing Company, In de Nacht and Haagsche Broeder). I have not the beers with me right now, so sorry if there is some mistake with the batches in the post.

From left to right:

Cheers Maakun for the selection, Cheers Benzai for organizing this and Cheers all the participants for making it possible.

Look at that lovely box which I got from @japppp! Looking forward to trying all the new stuff from Finland, thanks a lot! Not looking forward so much to trying the salmiakki, but I’ll give it a shot for sure

MonsterMagnet · May 14, 2019, 1:29pm

Definitely give those salmiakki a try, they are good!

japppp · May 14, 2019, 1:58pm

And mämmi olut!

Nische · May 14, 2019, 8:13pm

Got a very cool selection from @Benzai with some really interesting beers and a nice bag with some liquorice. Looking forward to try them, thanks a lot!

Benzai · May 15, 2019, 6:34pm

Still no word on some of the boxes. Has everybody made contact with their sender? Just to make sure that step has actually been taken.

Koelschtrinker · May 15, 2019, 8:57pm

Package from @cunningham has reached Germany today and will probably delivered on Saturday or Monday

Gurthnar · May 16, 2019, 10:37am

This wonderful selection of 14 (!!) bottles arrived to me this monday, even 2 big ones! Many thanks to JefVerstraete, thanks Jef! I am delighted.

Sorry for posting the pics only now, did not get around to it earlier, much happening this week.

SinH4 · May 16, 2019, 2:58pm

My box from @Gurthnar has arrived safe and sound, with a very nice selection of beers, ciders, and even a perry!

Sorry that the image is even blurrier than usual, the lighting in the cellar was not very good.

Many thanks Peter!

CH-303 · May 16, 2019, 3:45pm

Phew, I thought for a second you had your beers in the sauna…

MonsterMagnet · May 16, 2019, 5:35pm

Today a received an awesome box of beers from Switzerland! Really good beers and a well thought out selection to my preferences Unfortunately one bottle was smashed during transit (and the others were wet from it), but still there’s plenty of interesting beer left.

From left to right:
Blackwell Casquette Biere de Garde
WhiteFrontier / Stockholm Foreign Extra Stout
WhiteFrontier Jamaican Rum BA Old Ale
WhiteFrontier Bourbon BA Imperial Stout
Virage Saison Fauve Barrel Aged (2018)
À Tue-Tête! Fleur de Sureau
Storm&Anchor Citra 'till the End
BFM Saison Coing Coing
Storm&Anchor Haze Case: N.E. IPA XI
La Nébuleuse Double Oat IPA
Trois Dames Exaltée
The smashed bottle was: Degenbier Unikat - Bumblebee

Many, many thanks Andreas!

Edit: looking at the photo it seems that Virage was either not filled properly or has been leaking. I found the first victim to drink!

anstei · May 16, 2019, 5:43pm

I’m happy that you like my selection! Sorry for the broken bottle, I was a bit in a rush when sending and didn’t find a better box for protecting the bottles Hopefully you can enjoy the rest!
