12 Beers of Christmas 2021 Edition

Sorry for being so late to get these out. I had some label issues and ended up having to print them out myself at home. Then I got sick earlier this week but they are all on there way as of today.

As long as there are no delays everyone should receive by Wed or Thur next week!

Not in this year, but still have had every Cherry Dubbel for three rounds straight thanks to @j1laskey tossing one in an overly generous return to sender box.

Received the Cranberry Lambicky Ale from @JAReeves and the Fruitcake Ale from @blantonj00 today. At a crisp -5° OAT this afternoon the beers were well chilled right out of the UPS truck.

 

[yoop89]

Beautiful group of brews right there! Lost one spiced bourbon stout to a damaged box but USPS apologized very sincerely.

 

[calandryll]

I bottled my leftovers in bombers and they are super over carbonated. So hopefully it's not too bad for others.

 

[TBC]

Forgot to post the beers I received from @Funky Frank and @blantonj00

 

[j1laskey]

I also received those beers from @Funky Frank

 

[grampamark]

Just received beers from @theothermillion and 2 out of 3 from @j1laskey. One frostbite victim.

seeing that you live in the frozen tundra, maybe we should do Christmas in July!

This is the 3rd year I’ve participated in the 12 BOC and I’ve sent, and received, frozen beer each time.

Well, I’ll leave that up to you. It wasn’t your fault. There was beer slush in the bottom of the bag.

 

[JAReeves]

Yet another fantastic delivery!

 

[TBC]

Just received these from @yoop89. Man this makes me want to buy a canner even more! Thanks

 

[yoop89]

Woohooo. Christmas miracle. Nothing was supposed to be delivered until tomorrow.

I am the latest of all Late people on this one I vehemently apologize. Rest assured, the beers are bottles and are being packaged and shipped out today. I have all of the shipping labels printed and packaging ready to go. They will be late, but what you'll get will be tasty I think. Some nice candied ginger flavor rounding out a decently pleasant IPA. Not in time for Xmas but in time for new years.

Cans from @yoop89 dropped on my porch late yesterday afternoon

 

[grampamark]

Just received a box from @Funky Frank

Me Too!

 

[grampamark]

And UPS just dropped these from @yoop89.

 

[JAReeves]

Love the cans, @yoop89 ! My family told me I needed to up my packaging game. Be careful what you wish for....

 

[theothermillion]

Happy new year!

 

[TBC]

I will start a new thread for 2022 hopefully tonight or tomorrow. I will post in this thread when it’s up and running if your interested in participating again. Thanks again to everyone who participated this past year. I’ve enjoyed all of the beers that I tried so far.

 

[JAReeves]

Thank you again for organizing this @TBC! The beers this year have been amazing! I have already lost some of my bottles to family who were present for the New Years beer tasting; well, at least I got a few ounces of some of your beers before they drove off into the sunset with family!

well done all!

 

[TBC]

The new thread for 2022 is now posted!

 

[JAReeves]

Just received the box from @jerbrew! I thought it was crazy showing up now, as it only has to go 2 hours to get to me, but the shipper played football with it and one of the bottles wasn't just broken, it was microscopic shards. Thank you for the Mikeller bonus beer!

 

[grampamark]

FedEx just dropped off this shipment from @jerbrew. My popcorn packing survived the trip to San Diego and back. Shipped on 12/21. You could damn near walk from SD in 24 days.

 

[grampamark]

I’ve now collected the entire set.

 

[TBC]

Received Honey Ginger IPA from @jerbrew Fed Ex delivered the cold and it’s Friday so I figured why not! A little wild but very good. The ginger is well balanced in this one.
