@Alastair70 your beers arrived 
Hi @Alastair70 , your beer bottle arrived but the beer must have leaked out from somewhere 
Don’t worry about sending a replacement unless you really want to, I have a good stock of beers between the swap and competition!

Oops, it looks like theres been some trauma to the packaging that has resulted in a leak! Sorry about that.Hi @Alastair70 , your beer bottle arrived but the beer must have leaked out from somewhere

I'm bottling the BrewCon Hefeweizen entry this weekend. I'll send you one of those as a replacement once it's carbed up. That'll give you a couple of weeks to clear the decks in between
I’m 3 for 3 now as @Alastair70 beer has just arrived! Many thanks A!
If I’m feeling better my plan is to have one on Friday, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I will have them in the order they arrived so they all have time to settle.
Thanks again everyone and I really hope my sendees find my one drinkable.

I've just sent mine out 1st class; post office gentleman informed me that Royal Mail workers are on strike tomorrow, and obviously it is a bank holiday on Monday (they won't go out until then). So I hope you get them soon!
Also worth mentioning they are bottle conditioned, so chuck em in the fridge for a few days. Apologies for lateness... Family life hasn't allowed me to prioritise this before today.

On the doorstep when I got home this evening
Tucked up in the fridge now safe and sound.

Strange my beers arrived in England two days ago, your only an hour up the road. All beers posted at the same time
Nothing yet

So I understand from one of the other recipients. I promise I sent them! I'm really disappointed and I just hope they are delayed and not lost for good. If they aren't received, I'll send you a bonus Hefewiezen each, sadly I have no more of the golden ale.
I don't know how all three could go AWOL. I'll go and see the local PO where I posted them, and see if he can shed any light.
I can only apologise.

Mystery solved looks like our striking friends at the post office damaged the packaging in transit and repackaged it in a flimsy plastic bag with an apology note. No wonder the postie left it on the doorstep and made a swift retreat before I could get to the front door.
That said the bottle appears to have survived even though it looks like a NEIPA
A rest in the fridge should put it right
