European Local Swap 3/2019 Pairings and Hauls

A well traveled looking box full of beer and goodies arrived from England yesterday. I haven’t looked them all up myself yet but among them is a beer from England’s only Trappist Brewery, quite conveniently also located in Leicestershire, a new county tick as well. (So galling that I spent a year living there 20 years ago and still didn’t have that county tick.) Thank you Simon!

Glad it all arrived in one piece!
The box has travelled a bit but I’m sure it will do a few more journeys.
Enjoy!

My box from midovark arrived unexpected a while ago, while I was leaving home.

As I will be back quite late today, I will open it and post my pic tomorrow! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Iku-Turso is actually the barrel aged version:

Nice, thanks for correction. And now I have both versions, excellent. :slight_smile:

It took me 40 minutes (not joking!) to open the box sent by @midovark, but it was worth it! He took a lot of effort to find beers I could like. I do really appreciate it!

Here’s to the list

Can’t wait to open them!

Thanks also @Cuso for organizing this round!

Better safe than sorry you know(: Also, Sailor Belle should be in the database, perhaps as “Saison Witbier”, which is the old name of the beer.

Yesterday afternoon received in a great package from @rauchbierlover !

First of all, the communication went well, the package was packed very well and the beers are very interesting! He has done a great job listening to preferences in styles. A personal letter completes the experience!
