To finish off our 2-part trade from last year, Rene sent a 4th jam-packed box of goods!!! Included was the usual array of awesome beer that I didnt think Id get to try, strong beers that I have never heard of, and more 3 Fonteinen! Excellent and creative packaging (including old baby clothes). I look forward to trying to catch up from this deficit ;)
Rene sent me what can only be described as a sick f*in box of beer! Struise, Mikkeller, and 3 Fonteinen were WELL represented ;) He also threw in some gems from Olfabrikken and Raasted. Well-packed and it was a breath-taking array of beers. Always a pleasure!
In Round 4 (I believe) with Rene, he sent all kinds of great stuff with Nogne O, Mikkeller, Olfabrikken, Ceres, Struise, 3 Fonteinen, Cantillon, and others representin! The box looked like the shipping carriers played football with it, so I think that only one casualty was actually a victory. Well-packaged and thoughtful. Thank you again, my friend!
Renes package arrived safe and sound (with a little help from Ughsmash!): 1999 BV Selection Lambic, Olfabrikken Saison Kamille & Winter Stout & Richards Barleywine & 100 Gram IPA, Mikkeller Humlefryyyd, Tuverbol, Norrebro North Bridge Extreme (2 handbottles!), and Greenland Pale Ale. I think half of these are extras. Awesome trader, great packaging. Thanks again, Rene!!
Rene helped round out my collection of Mikkeller and Olfabrikken goodies (somewhere around 6 of each!).. also included were Belle Vue Selection, a Greenland beer, a homebrewed "small beer" at like 7.7%!?!, Struise goodies, and others.. 21 beers in 2 beautifully-packed boxes. Remarkable assortment, and a very generous guy! Holy crap! Thanks man!
I received a perfectly packed box of beers: 2 Ølfabrikken Gammel Ekstra porter, 2 Nøgne Ø Imp. Stout, 1 Struisse Pannepot and last but not least a big wish, a handbottled Nørrebro North Bridge Extreme, that I was very, very pleased to get! Thank you for a nice trade and great service René!
Physical meeting with Sk8viking. Exchange. I get Bells Hop Slam, Stone Smoked Porter, Ølfabrikken Gammel Extra Porter, Wiibroe Porter and more. He gets a number of rare Danish micros in exchange.
Nice little shipment...North Bridge Extreme, all three Greenlandic beers, Raasted Imperial IPA and Barley Wine, Olfabrikken Gammel Ekstra Porter...that type of thing. I love European postal service...so efficient. Though I wasnt keen on my postman leaving it at my (decidedly unsecure) door. Ah, well, alls well that ends well and Ill be drinking North Bridge Extreme tonight.
...anything so beautiful as this box. Struise Pannepot, 2x Mikkeller Beer Geek, Mikkeller Black Hole, Westy Blonde, 8 and 12, Olfabrikken Gammel Ekstra, Olfabrikken Porter, and two great extras. Great double-boxed packaging and fast shipping from Denmark. Rene hooked me up with so many great beers, knocking 7 or 8 things off my wantlist. Awesome trade. Thanks, Rene!!
A trade a long time coming, Rene had a few delivery issues from a trade initiated in April, but came through with flying colors. It was rare beers for rare beers in a monster trade...
