Summer Brew and Swap - NZ Pale Ale

[Agentgonzo]

I'm away from tomorrow morning, so mine still be going out next week.

 

[Alastair70]

@Stu's Brews point about the bank holiday is a good one. We should all aim to post early next week.

 

[Stu's Brews]

I'm probable - will confirm in the morning. Currently waiting to be picked up from the airport.

@Alastair70 - my other half hasn't drunk it all whilst I was away so I'm in.

 

[Alastair70]

Excellent

I will count you in properly and re-jig the swap. A couple of people have already swapped beers as it stands. I'll re-shake the magic 8-ball of joy and make sure everyone gets three new brews to sample. Watch this space for final pairings (or whatever it is when there's three people involved).

 

[Alastair70]

The 8-ball has spoken, new swaps are as follows. I'm running on the assumption that no one else has tried to post anything yet. If I'm wrong about that speak up now!

@pilgrimhudd always sends two bottles, I keep forgetting to rig the swaps in my favour

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Haha, not this time, only @Agentgonzo got 2, he lucked out with the box and the fact that I had a saison in plastic.

Perhaps I should wait till we see what he says about it before he I say he lucked out!

I still haven't finished the last shipment you sent me!

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Postman just collected from me - I'm crossing my fingers they arrive tomorrow for my three sendees. Don't want them hanging around in the post for too long.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Postie has picked up my three today as well.

 

[Agentgonzo]

Sorry folks. I've had too much on in my life recently. We're driving our son North on the weekend to go to uni and I won't have time before then to get them out. It'll be next week at the earliest. Apologies, but they will get to you eventually

 

[Alastair70]

I’ve been rather poorly for a few days, but am on the mend. Will post tomorrow.

I’ve also learned that the worst possible thing to get is a dental abscess. You can’t open your mouth enough to eat properly, and the antibiotics means you can’t drink. It’s a kick in both nuts

 

[Stu's Brews]

I must also offer apologies to my recipients - I had hoped to get beers in the post today but unfortunately the day went a bit off track. I'm away until Sunday, but will definitely be posting Monday as I'm off work.

 

[Alastair70]

@SMP Brewery and @Tess Tickle's Brewery - your beers all arrived safely today, and thank you both for the bonus beers the you included as well.

@Stu's Brews @pilgrimhudd @smallscaleale - your beers are in the post. They have been bottle conditioned, so give them a chance to settle.

My NZ Pils isn’t quite clear yet, just wanted a bit of feedback as never having made one or had one for that matter.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

@SMP Brewery can I just apologise as it looks like your beer didn't get there yet. I sent 4 parcels by tracked 24 and only three got there. Slightly annoying, as I didn't want it hanging around the post service for more than one night. Hopefully it's still ok when it gets there.

At least they won't be able to shake it up cos I brimmed the fukkas

Same here. I’ve neither brewed nor drank any of the styles we’ve done in this swap, it’s what’s made it so much fun

This wasn’t from the swap it’s what I brewed with the left over hops. In hindsight I should have used them in the Pale.

@Tess Tickle's Brewery your beer arrived safe and well and is in the fridge.

@pilgrimhudd looks like your’s is stuck in Truro. 24 hr delivery my @rse
