I got a very nice package with a lot of nice English beers from Chris (LazyPyro). A lot of new English regions (even Isle of Wight with its Garlic Beer). Thanks a lot for this interesting selection, Chris!

Glad they all arrived safely, was my first trade and I was paranoid about something going wrong. Happy to help with your English region ticks (and NI too). Enjoy!

I got my package of German beers from Beerhunter yesterday.
Interesting batch with some great beers, many fresh ones (at it seems) with little ratings.
Thanks a lot Hans Peter!

The parcel to tomer is now on the way and tracking info is sent to tomer and MonsterMagnet.

Next time I do this I’ll obviously have to try and not just stick to the local counties (and never again include the beer that RW80 scored 1.8). It is a local swap you know:)

Tracking number has been sent to @MonsterMagnet and @rosenbergh.

Cheers!!

Yeah I would have loved to only send beers from my home county, but to be honest it would have been a struggle to fill a box with good quality stuff and it would probably only feature 2 or 3 breweries, including neighbouring counties wouldn’t have helped either… ok maybe exaggerating a bit but you know… People in other regions (London, Manc., Yorks.) probably have no trouble keeping local but for me at least I’m glad the brief was to select from our country rather than county!

As I said earlier, a great haul from @Maakun, some country ticks, some brewery ticks, and some generally nice dutch beers. Thanks for the beers!

Today I received a tightly packed parcel from Estonia crammed with beer. I never knew that you could fit so much beer in such small box, and it was safely packed as well!

Inside is a great and generous selection with a lot of big beers :slight_smile:

Jesus I just unpacked a huge box with my 2yo son who was all too happy to throw the packing materials around the entire room. He was pretty interested in the chocolate as well I must admit. He did however say that “all bottles were daddy’s to drink” so he knows damn well he can’t drink my beer! :wink:

A nice letter with a description of all the beers!

Here are the coasters and chocolate treats!

And an incredible 16 beers!! Including a polotmavy which is a damn hard style to get beers from. Also an interesting cider among the beers! Awesome!

Definitely one of the most generous boxes I’ve ever received during the Euro swaps. Thanks for going out of your way @herrklemann !

Glad it all arrived safely. @japppp sent me a HUGE box for this years Secret Santa and I was incredibly happy, and I couldn’t decide which ones I won’t include. So I went all in. Glad you (and your son) liked it! :slight_smile:

Oh, by the way, as I just read my description of the Forstner Blond Ale: she continued in his vEin. Forstner are local pioneers, but not vain. Typos, typos, typos…
