Thank you Santa, my very interesting sounding Dark Octoberfest marzen has arrived. Style is right up my street . Look forward to trying this, probably Xmas eve.

Sent all mine rec'd all mine. Cannot understand why anyone would have not sent theirs by now. There has been plenty of time.

There are currently 9 bottles 4 bottles which have not been confirmed as sent, although of course that doesn't mean they haven't been. I've PMd a few people to check.

what is the drink day., Christmas day or whenever you want?

I'll start a review thread on 24th, so the tasting period is from then until the 1st Jan :thumba:

Second bottle arrived today, thank you!

Second bottle arrived, a breakfast stout to go with the chocolate orange stout already received. Should make for a tasty xmas eve.

They sound like Xmas morning beers to me

Is it cheating to drink early? One of mine says "drink fresh no need to settle" and I don't want to go against (secret) Santa's wishes...

I've already one. But I did take notes for the review.

That's your call, but keep your notes for the official thread

Both of mine arrived and are now out in the shed. I got a coconut porter to go with the Midland's Mild.

 

[MackemBrew]

My second arrived the other day, a rather intimidating 17% stout...

Wow!

 

[uDicko]

Got 1 grapefruit IPA (thanks santa) now waiting for the next mystery

 

[strange-steve]

Good work chaps, there are only 2 bottles now unconfirmed as sent; hopefully they have been anyway. If you're still waiting for bottles to arrive don't panic just yet, there are still 3 more delivery days after today!

 

[fury_tea]

Received my 2nd. A breakfast stout!
Looking forward to trying this

 

[big yogi]

I’m still waiting for 1

 

[big yogi]

I’m not panicking.
My 2 didn’t get delivered before the date last year , they got them for Hogmanay

 

[pmh]

2nd beer all intact, both sound very nice, loving labels on both looking forward to tasting.

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

Picked my second one up from the post office this morning. I now have both. A strong ale and a candy orange IPA. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks Santa’s

 

[Aaron Rennie]

Look what’s arrived. Won’t be able to drink these till after Xmas and can not wait!!!!

A 10%, might be the only beer of the night

 

[Jakeyboi]

I’m not sure who’s unconfirmed, I sent mine over a week ago but never confirmed on here
