2021 FotD Secret Santa Beer Swap

[3 Dawg Night]

Enjoying the first of my beers from @Knightshade tonight, a boozy but balanced Imperial Red. Good stuff!

 

[TallDan]

I'm now second guessing myself on if i mixed up the box I sent out for this and the one I sent to @gromitdj for winning fantasy football. I sent the same beer to both, but the FF box didn't get a non-beer item. So, if my recipient, after digging through all of the bubble wrap and packing fluff, can't find the non-beer item, let me know and I'll make it right.

Santa just delivered!! I’m guessing this is @TallDan’s doing given the “recycling box”. Haha
You nailed it!! Thank you!! Even a bottle of Dark Lord (on my white whale wish list) and a homebrew too!! If it was someone else, well you nailed it!!
I’m definitely wearing the t-shirt tomorrow!! Now, do I drink this Dark Lord soon or do I age it for a bit?
Update - Just found a 3 Floyd’s sticker in the bag too!! Woohoo!!

If it's the exact same package, I can just forward the non-beer item to the appropriate person. EZ-PZ..

Pretty sure I'm going to be done on my Santa beers before some of you get your shipped out, bwahahahahaha. If I do that, does it mean I get a refill?

Yea that me. This Santa has been ummm…lazy. Getting close but my recipient shouldn’t worry, interest IS being accrued!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Ho ho ho, courtesy of @Knightshade. This is a super-drinkable hazy IPA!

 

[Knightshade]

@3 Dawg Night Stoked you're liking the beers so far! Alesmith does a variety of Red ales, all of which seem to be seasonal. I was kinda floored when I tried that Yulesmith so it was an automatic inclusion, and I've typically got some form of Societe IPA in my fridge. Easily my current go to.

 

[Thorrak]

I just realized that while the more important of the two boxes I shipped my Giftee made it there, the other box doesn't appear to have. Oh well - time to go shopping.

 

[TallDan]

Received this afternoon! Packing job is basically the exact opposite of mine, hard to believe all of this fit in the box I took it out of!

 

[fourfarthing]

I might ship soon. I think.

Enjoy! I'm curious what you think of the barleywine. I'm not a fan of the style but I saw you like them and I've heard good things about that particular one. Cheers!

 

[CTownBrewer]

Shipped…finally!

 

[mullet6577]

Santa told me he sent out a box on Friday so someone should have a delivery tomorrow or Wednesday

The fam is wrapping up with the last of the Rona. I’m last of 5 actually. Started to feel better this week and am out of quarantine so hopefully will go shopping. Sorry to my giftee for the delay. Two and a half weeks feels like months.

Glad to hear you and the family are feeling better.

Yeah man I just got over it too my whole family went through it all five of us.. the kids brought it home.. glad you're feeling better dude. Finally tested negative yesterday. Still tired. Ha.

 

[gromitdj]

I now see that @TallDan sent the correct packages out. Came here to say that I didn't receive the one with the non beer item. Man, what a package!

Post a pic in the football thread!

 

[gromitdj]

@TBC, I plan to.

(Just need to take a few pics)

 

[3 Dawg Night]

This one from @Knightshade is simply divine.

 

[Knightshade]

Yeaaaa...that one is a fave for sure. I had just finished off my last one from 2020 when the 2021 release came out.

 

[yoop89]

What a box! Can’t wait to get into these. Really nailed my favorite styles and I didn’t think I was really that specific! Thanks Santa Bonus that it was single digits out. No need to wait to crack one open!

 

[aharri1]

My box got delivered a few weeks ago but I haven't seen any pictures yet LOL.

 

[gromitdj]

Sincerest apologies to my recipient. It took me a while, but the beer is now in the possession of FedEx...

( and only slightly over the size limit recommended by @Thorrak )

 

[yoop89]

So far I haven’t seen anyone receive anything over the 128 can limit?

 

[CTownBrewer]

Came home to my Secret Santa package! Thank you! Although, I don’t recognize the name.

The PBRs were fillers for the two beers from ByGeorge(the glassware/stickers) that didn’t survive. They got left in my truck and froze/popped and wasn’t able to make it back. They were a couple lagers so i figured that was a good replacement

Great package! Lots of breweries I haven’t tried before. Love it!
