Got this marvellous and larger than life selection from the organiser himself - @MonsterMagnet, Thank you David! Sorry for posting this late - but better late than never!
I totally loved Juice Punch and Mosaic Mammoth, they were as fresh as they could get, absolutely great examples of the style. Very thankful also for the homebrews - I actually already shared them at home-brew gathering in Tartu with a bunch of Estonian homebrewers.
Really appreciated the notes about beers, it is making drinking them much more personable.
Great swap, looking forward to next times! Cheers!
Secret Santa right now or after Christmas? Christmas is again going to cause lots of problems with sending boxes because there is millions of boxes everywhere just before christmas.
During my long weekend away from home with the family a great box from @rouhlas arrived. The neighbours took good care of it and I just unpacked it with my 3yo who happily threw the bubble wrap and fumbled newspapers around the living room. He then found one IPA after another, occasionally interrupted by a porter or stout. Huge thanks Nikos! I’m definitely drinking some of the bottles tonight!
There is maybe no time for a local swap, but I am running out of beers. So before I place an order online, if someone is up for some nice German beer and wants to set up a private swap, drop me a BM.
update: found one. so I put myself in “stand by” for the moment
I am interesting to take part in 2019 in the EU and Brexit Britain Local Swaps. Remember all people paired with a British resident should avoid including beer and instead stick to basic food supplies and any specifically requested medicines.
Finally, after a long time of wait. I received today a absolute nice box full of delicious stuff from Minutemat
Unfortunately one bottle is broken
Here are the beers and ciders:

Yes indeed, the box was returned to Mat. That was the reason for the long waiting.
But the long time is worth to wait, so much delicious beers that I enjoy at the moment
