Secret Santa 2024

[SMP Brewery]

2nd secret Santa arrived safely, looking forward to this one. Many thanks Santa

That sounds interesting.

Santa's been, just unsure what style it was as writing smudged off when taking it out of packaging.

N2 SS arrived. Thank you. Possibly the most well packaged PET bottle I have ever seen lol.
Saison with Orange peel, Coriandor and Black Pepper Corns

Quick question (Wheat Beer) should I let it settle or mix it, if @Alastair70 doesn’t mind then reply to him if you sent it.

The homebrew elves have consulted their boss. He recommends letting American Wheats settle

Two arrived today but just trying to find out if they are Santa presents or freestyle comp entries...

To be fair - you did somewhere.

My second (not so secret) Santa arrived...Reused envelope has his moniker on it

Not that it matters - I'm thoroughly looking forward to sampling it.

Thank you

I’ve been told they are SS beers, which I hope means Secret Santa.
(I’ve been reading a lot of WW2 historical fiction recently).

Any recommendations, just read Shogun followed by Taipan and so need a break before tackling the next one.

Top picks covering both wars,

Winter - Len Deighton.
Recently read again, probably for the 5th time. Spans both wars and is one of my desert island reads.

The Nightingale - Kirsten Hannah.
A tale of two sisters in occupied France. Brilliant and harrowing at the same time.

Flanders - Patrica Anthony
The best WW1 novel since All Quiet On The Western Front, from the point of view of a yank this time.

All Quiet On The Western Front - Erich Remarque
Nuff said!
