Secret Santa 2021

[Benfleet Brewery]

My second beer arrived today, along with a bonus gift wrapped extra. Really looking forward to trying these. Thanks to both my Santa’s

 

[Stu's Brews]

Second beer from Santa arrived today. A rather tasty looking Smoked Porter - cheers Santa!

I've received both of mine. Would have posted earlier but my landline has been down. Restored now with an amazing 0.8Mbps.

 

[RichardM]

Both of mine received

 

[MonkeyMick]

Received mine safely, and posted one out back end of last week!

 

[Alastair70]

Snap, and it’s a bonus bottle for me. Thank you mystery Santa!

I am aware of a couple of bottles that still haven’t arrived. Bear with me if you get a message from me asking when you posted, it’s just to get an idea if there’re lost or caught up in the mail system somewhere.

I have now got both of mine ,looking forward to sampling :)

 

[Alastair70]

By way of an update, and as far as I can tell, it's looking like all beers have been posted before the 18th December. There is an issue with Royal Mail and sickness at the minute and that may mean that parcels posted before the 18th either from, or destined for delivery to, some regions may not arrive by the 24th.
With that in mind the review thread can run on a bit longer if needs be to give everyone a chance to take part.

Is that right? I sent a parcel to a friend on 10th Dec, and it hasn't arrived yet; I'm getting dubious that it will now.

 

[phildo79]

Get the eff in! Thanks, Santa.

Is that right? I sent a parcel to a friend on 10th Dec, and it hasn't arrived yet; I'm getting dubious that it will now.

I’d be dubious too, most of these last few arrivals were posted at the tail end of last week. The Monday news story was about the amount of sick leave in the post office and 27 regions were listed as having critical staff levels.

I've received two rather fine parcels with both exceptionally generous Santa's, and will post pictures later, but wanted to let you know @Alastair70 that they'd arrived.

 

[Justin Dean]

I guess not all were sent
Royal Mail. I sent mine Hermes for example

 

[samale]

I am still waiting on one to be confirmed that it's delivered. I sent out 5 packages the other 4 have been delivered long ago

 

[Justin Dean]

Rec'd . Very generous. Thank you

 

[Justin Dean]

And a very inviting smoked porter. Thank you

 

[Hoddy]

Rec'd . Very generous. Thank you

What are those coloured blobs?

Be careful, beer is on the Hermes forbidden list.
