I won Aaron’s free crazy old berliner contest. He sent the berliner (how old is it again!?!) as well as two extras. Who sends extras for a free beer contest? He sent RR Pliney the Elder and Hangar 24 Orange Wheat. The man is crazy generous. Can’t wait to share these. Thanks so much Aaron. This will be my oldest beer yet!
Aaron sended me a bunch of beers from France and Luxemburg, also some locals from his german home. As the top ofthe trade he brought me Alaskan Summer and Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock (04). Thanks man!
