Those bringing stuff from Lithuania, if you haven’t decided, takes requests, and can find it easy enough.

Got one mead from there I haven’t had:
Dundulis Devyniaragio (9%)
from
Panevėžio alus (Dundulis)


Anything from
Sakiškių alus
Not rated any, and much of theirs seem highly rated, at least the black stuff, which I happen to love.


Not too long to go!


Some Sakiškių stuff is available in Estonia. Ratebeer’s travel list should give decent overview what’s available in Estonia. Also this untappd list should be really helpful: https://untappd.com/v/kohtmoonshine-bar/669673 (there are some mistakes, i.e. Chimay BA version is wrong, but most of it is correct).

You spelled travl wrong


Sorry, but American isn’t my first languange (so I have an excuse!)

These are the options:

1. Single hop Ekuanot
2. Belma and Calypso hops & Cherry wood chip ageing
3. NZ Hops: Rakau & Pacifica
4. Coffee infused IPA with Calypso hops




NZ, otherwise the beer is heading scarily towards horror tick section.

Minor bad news: I hurt my foot and walking is a bit of a challenge. This means I had to lighten my beer load a bit, and had to sacrifice a couple of the state ticks that were in 750ml bottles - Georgia and Tennessee. ND, SD and the Pliny are safe, as is THE BEST BEER IN THE WORLD.
Hopefully I won’t slow down the group - I may have to rely more on trams and Uber, we’ll see how it goes!

Travlr ; Hobblr

Hope you feel better Gene!

Any special requests from Sweden, preferably something I can find at Systembolaget, since breweries can’t sell beer above 3.5% to bring home, or if in Göteborg I might be able to ask them to send a "yeast sample" for me to bring with.


This prolly is gonna be the most bizarre request, but would you be nice and bring https://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=464514 . Yes it’s Estonian beer but it isn’t sold in Estonia. I can trade it for 7.5% version :)

I might be able to pack one more beer :)
Packed up the bag yesterday, seems it is pretty much done.

That beer is in one store in town as of Systembolaget’s site, though since it is a Christmas beer I am not sure they are still allowed to sell it...
They have some silly rules.
I know it will not be on the shelf, but I’ll try to find time today to head into that store and ask specifically for it, hopefully they’ll let me get it if they do indeed still have it, then hopefully it’ll fit in my bag :)

Stupid rules to not pack beer in your carry on on flights.

Got one!
They still had it in the back room.
If I can fit it in my bag I’ll bring it :-)
