Anyone up for a secret-santa type swap for crimbo?

[strange-steve]

Still no beer for me, on the plus side, Postie delivered my stainless steel dry hopper from Hong Kong.

I've been assured it's in the post; good news about the dry hopper though :-?

You see, this is why I should have had this organised two weeks sooner

 

[dad_of_jon]

not had mine yet steve :-(

won't be drinking it till the 27th so it will have a chance to settle if it arrives before xmas.

Santa delivered a bottle of Citra Crusade grapefruit infused IPA this morning. Sounds delicious!

That's ok I won't rush drinking it, hopefully tomorrow. The postman thinks I'm a right weirdo watching him like a hawk:lol:

If it hasn't been said already: to whom it applies, you may want to remove your secret santa beers from your signatures.

I've received a Brixton Porter, and as a fan of the London town and the beer style, I'm looking forward to this. I've also received a strong old ale, I like strong ales too!

Mines not arrived yet either but plenty of time yet so no worries I'm sure it will [emoji3]

I'm ahead of you there, I renamed the beer and posted it when I was in a different part of the country :lol:

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Thank you secret santa for my 7.5% stout.

I love stout.

Just back home from work, but alas, no beer delivery waiting for me.

I do know that deliveries are taking a bit longer than usual so I'm sure it'll arrive before Christmas

 

[Martybhoy]

Just caught the postman there, and like the wise men of nativity fame, he brought a gift: a 7% NEIPA.

Cannae wait to try it

Cheers santa [emoji318]

And the final piece falls into place :grin: Santa just stopped in his red van and dropped of a bottle of Bladdered Blitzen 4.4% :

Nothing for me today, postie just been, still another day so hopeful though :)

 

[strange-steve]

PM sent to kohoutec.
I've been ticking beers off my list as people have said they've received them and at the minute there are 7 unaccounted for, has anyone else received their beer but not said so here?

[strange-steve]

Well today is the last delivery and I know there were one or two still outstanding yesterday, so how did we do?

 

[MickDundee]

When are we allowed to drink/review the beers? We did our Christmas Day shopping this morning and are running out of room in the fridge!

Officially the tasting period is 24th - 1st, however I don't think anyone will complain too much if you start earlier. All I ask is that you keep your tasting notes (and picture ) and post them in the review thread which I will start either tonight or tomorrow morning.
