    2 boxes gone out today, both in the direction of the name of a very crappy Pet Shop Boys song, or should i merely say Pet Shop Boys song with the two previous words being superfluous.

    Has my box been picked up? Didn't get a chance to check it today at the shop as I was far too busy!

    That piece of door will be worth millions this time next year. Millions.

    Okay folks, here are the details of a seriously arse-kicking box from Lukie! You'll agree it's a far cry from his boast of sending an empty box..

    1 Cantillon shaker glass
    4 Hop Hog
    1 Bootleg Raging Bull
    1 Bootleg Oatmeal Stout
    1 Mikkeller Monks Elixir
    1 Mystery Cider from SA. Guessing Thorogoods but can't be sure. The label is so damaged it's hard to make out much. Says 7.5%ABV... something about apples and pears... and something else that I can't remember because I was in such a rush to get to work I'll have a proper look when I get home. Very mysterious

    And finally, 1 piece of the IBS door, worth it's weight in Platinum.

    The Mikkeller Monk's Elixir is the red wine brett version, and the cider is Natural Selection Cider... LAMBIC CIDER!

    Shit I only just noticed the Monk's Elixir was the BA version!

    And how did you come across the cider?

    We were given a bottle to try, and perthbelgianbeers (Andrew) had tried it at Greenhouse, and made mention of it. It was wonderful, so started stocking it.

    18 months conditioned on the wild yeast in the apples that were crushed.

    I dunno... the US is starved for Cantillon that some of them might think to take the second runnings of a Cantillon drinker.

    OK all--------------- Have two boxes down. I still need a haul pic from Lukie :slight_smile:
    Should have a few boxes landing on Monday or Tuesday so possibly some more hauls and pictures to come.
    Shipping window ends on Monday. If can not make it let me know.

    Box of beer sent today going to...the mainland!! Seven bottles. Six Tasmanian and one from somewhere else. Four different breweries. Just shy of 3L of beer.

    Swag will have to wait until next week as my idea didn't pan out. Will post again when it is sent.

    It looks like one of mine is within 7.1km of its target, so delivery expected today. Its about half of that as the crow flies, but the Australia Post guy can't exactly go straight from the delivery centre to the target's shipping address, unless he's a good swimmer
