Is everyone busy shopping, packing and shipping? Does everyone have contact with their sender and receiver?
The first two boxes are on the road, actually now that I’m looking it up I see the first has already arrived today!

Have contact with both. Package to me is on it’s way, I’ll send my box Friday. I also have a packaging problem as I have plenty of boxes but they’re all too small!

Everything arrived safely??
Very safely!
It only took me a day to line up this great galician haul into my beer shrine & fotograph it with my crummy camera.
As the first swappack to arrive I think @taboada set a HQ precedent here & went out of his way to cater to seasonal primavera needs & my international saison interest. Even wentout of his way to write a fullfledged degustation guide to Spanish Galician beer scene, from localissmo to Basque extras, including notes on each beer. I might have to step up my own game now…
The marinheras crackers (goes well with Bergkäse & saison) and some of the newspaper wrappings were fun extras as well!
Muchas gracias to my Galician friend Alex - feedback on the way. I will post a full list of the lineup before i crack open the first cans in this 25° Badian heat - or before the thirsty beerbee/Bierbiene/abella de cerveza gets hold of them!

Abella Cervezera is also Looking forward to starting off with the odd one out in the collection, a hoppy cider, in tonight’s asparagus
risotto wine-vs-beer pair-off against a Grüne Veltliner (Badian Grau&Weissburgunder get boring after a while).

that hoppy cider is the funkiest thing I’ve had in a long time!

Merci @taboada for this perfect mix of styles & the effort you put in individual notes on all beers & breweries. Liking the price/quality ratio remarks as well - something RBians still factor in too rarely imho.

I included in the last minute, so it´s not on the beer list…but I had a empty space on the box, so why not to use it?
Cheers and have a weekend plenty of beer in Stuttgart and in your pairing tonight!
Prost!

Just finished it, naturally wild with natural orchard fruitpeel bretts… Very nice. Veltliner was still the better asparagus pairing though 
Box to sinh4 is on the way.
I should finish the collection of beers for @jefverstraete this Saturday but also I need to find a good box and pack it afterwards then. I should be able to send out the box on Monday too.
