Aussie BIF hints and hauls

Not working for me with flickr either, it seems...

 

just get a direct link to the picture (right click > view image once its uploaded), click insert/edit image button, and paste the url

 

Not my box (though fantastic it is). Mine is in Fremantle (there's another hint).

 

Doh! been informed its from bluebetty, thanks Adam!

 

Glad it made it safe and sound. Cheers

 

Thanks for the thought, luckily I actually got the chance to try 2012 Abyss last night thanks to the very generous Boozecamel.

 

no problem. glad you got to try it. its a brilliant beer.

 

Erm, can I just apologise in advance for how crap my box is compared with what I've seen so far?

Think I took the minimum BIF specifications too closely to heart on this occasion.

To the recipient - expect something else to arrive before Chrissy.

 

Yeah, feeling a bit unsure myself Rohan. One thing about this group, they always go above and beyond!

 

Joe, your box was quality. Nothing to worry about there. Mine is a little small too but I feel that quality made it good. There is a balance to achieve, especially when shipping even small amounts sets you back over $50.

 

Yer lol Joe I'm exceedingly happy with your box, definitely no need to worry.

 

Just an update on a few boxes.

MordeciaFunk is sending out today. I understand Lukie is sending in the new year.

My box to CarlisleWineBin landed on Monday. The box from dgilks landed in Freo, i've been in touch with the recipient, MordeciaFunk, and it is still intact at his usual place of work (where he hasn't been located in a little while). Should hopefully have pics of these two hauls up soonish.

Expecting another box or two to land this week.

 

Good news there. I was worried it was goin to be RTS from the post office.

 

My box sat at the post office for a few days because I work with idiots. However, a pleasure delayed is a pleasure multiplied. I can't thank David enough.

Westy 12
Ale Smith: Old Numbskull
Moo Brew: Belgian Pale Ale
HopDog: Children of Darkness
The Little Brewing Company: Mad Abbot Tripel and Wicked Elf Porter.
And last but not least, David's very own 'Rye Would You Drink Anything Else?' (you owe me money when you sell it named as this).

Swag: A delicate Orval glass that Mistress Mordecia is bound to break when she does the dishes. It really is a thing of beauty and I can't wait to drink out of it.

I too feel slightly inadequate about my box.... At least there is 4l of it I guess....

 

Also, a big thanks to Owen for organising this and also for putting up with all of us.

I'm sure it's like herding cats.

 

Any chance of a pic of the orval glass

Am mad for anything from ORval

 

Here's a pic of the haul:
