Region Ticking

[evilempire]

my craftbeerdelivered order just arrived, so a week from order to delivery, not bad for post-brexshit

Ironically, having dropped one beer so as not to incur the charge for a second box, it came in two boxes anyway as the bottles were packaged separately

I tick off new regions less often these days but managed to pick up Zlin Region, Czech Republic with an order from House of Trembling Madness for this brewery:

For anyone looking to make a HOTM order soon, I recommend this Kernel beer which is still on their site:

Cheers for this. I was wondering when HOTM was going to get those Jarovsky beers back in stock.

If anyone is looking for an Aargau, Switzerland rate, the Princess Alexandra in Northampton is serving this beauty:

It could perhaps be this by Shepherd Neame (I remember rating the Swiss one excitedly back in Guildford in 2018 then realising it wasn’t):

Oh, had no clue about the SN link. Probably makes sense tbf, I did think it was strange. The keg font wasn’t much help.

I note that this one is now branded as Helles Lager. I wonder if it’s an idea to add a new version which can be aliased to the SN original.

Finally managed to snag my last Swedish region “Jönköping” at our regular Malmö tasting at the weekend, so finally completed all 21 regions.

If I can get another bottle soon then will bring over to pass on during one of my regular UK trips back, as seems to be one of the tougher regions to find.

I am still stuck on 343 but I have a friend who is on a cycling trip in Japan and she has three new ones for me (I think).

South American countries along with Mexico and Russia are my main problems although Scandinavia is also pretty thin.

Before I go to Finland in the Summer I am going to get cross-reference the Alko website with the Nordic regions I need and ask one of my cousins to ordsr them for me.

[BlackHaddock]

6 out of the 19 regions for me in Finland, from 15 rates. It’s not a country I’ve chased to be honest, not many find their way to Shropshire.

Enjoy drinking every region, it’s a lovely feeling when you have manged a whole country (for weirdo’s like me).

<*))))))><

@BlackHaddock I’ve done 10/19 Finnish regions but have got the other 9 in my “cellar” thanks to a recent trade. Happy to “panda” trade at some point if interested.

[BlackHaddock]

@Grumbo, I think minutemat and I can put together something. He’s in contact with you I believe.

Went down Mark Lane today and spotted qn Irish bar opposite Brew Dog Tower Hill. Not sure of it’s new or if I just failed to spot it before. If you’re after a Kilkenny tick, Feeneys had two on tap from Sullivan’s.

Anyone ISO tiny island country ticks? Beers of Europe have just got a Samoan beer in which I see a lot of you somehow already have. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/vailima/8757/

I’ve not ordered from BoE for years now but I’m tempted to do a little one for that country tick. Will see if they have any others I need.

EDIT: some other countries/regions I needed that others may also need:
Fiji: https://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/beer/country/fiji
Corsica, France: https://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/beer/country/corsica
Sardinia, Italy: https://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/beer/country/sardinia never mind this is Heineken Italia so doesn’t count. No wait it does actually count as it’s still under the subsidiary!
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany: https://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/beer/country/germany/duckstein

They dont send parcels outside UK?

[LazyPyro]

Nope, sadly not. Only UK and Northern Ireland.

If regions are needed you could add Basilicata to the list: Birra Morena Classica | Buy Beer Online at Beers of Europe
