Secret Santa Beer Swap 2020!

[strange-steve]

Whilst I find (most) of my beers very nice, I am still a little apprehensive as to the quality it may be judged against

I think that's a good attitude to have, it's when people start to believe their own beer is the pinnacle of quality that I start to worry.

If it gets slated, there is no way I am coming forward lol

You might be proud of your beers once you’ve tasted the ones sent to you!

The secret Santa swap isn’t about being judged, it’s a bit of fun for sharing the fruits of our labours, trying something else and sometimes sampling something you wouldn’t necessarily have drank/brewed before.

Sorry, the post man collected it from my house for me for a small charge to avoid going to the post office

I was exactly the same but thought hey, this is the internet and nobody knows who I am, so stuck my BIPA into one of the competitions and won. If I'm right in saying, I'd also sent the same beer to someone else on the forum who was less than enthused, so you can always use "personal taste" as an excuse.

Aaaanyway, I had a beer arrive today. And in other news, the bottle gun is proving tricky to use...
