    No problem, beers (from left to right)
    HopDog Ham on Rye
    HopDog Horns Up Rye IPA
    HopDog Hyper Hyper Coffee Pants
    Ekim Viking IPA
    Mountain Ridge Bolong Black
    AleSmith Wee Heavy
    O'Hanlon's Thomas Hardy's Ale 2004
    Black Duck Proper Bitter
    Black Duck Dark Ale
    Seven Sheds Royal Willie

    Swag was a Redoak polo shirt, Lord Nelson Brewery stubby holder and a Murrays glass. Coasters were a nice assist from fellow Sydney BA, bluebetty.

    Glad I could hit a want in the AleSmith and add to his 05-08 vertical of Hardys.

    should have gotten in. I tried getting people but the Aussie community is a bit difficult. Really appreciate all the people who did get in and have sent out boxes.

    Just got an SMS from ADZA with a pic of his haul. ADZA is having some computer issues at the moment, so i've uploaded the pic (or link of it). Nice box sent by bluebetty.

    If ADZA or bluebetty could list it, that'd be great.

    Too kind MrKennedy. Not sure if the seven sheds or van dieman get up your way but I think they are very well made beers which I enjoy quite a lot. And to my tastes the seven sheds beers are as good as any in their espective styles. Glad they come in big bottles. Morrison is very new and very small but make some great beers and are a welcome addition to the Tasmanian brewing scene. The Belgian I threw in as something different.

    Also glad you posted before I got home as there was a package on my doorstep this afternoon. Danieelol has not only raised the bar but cleared it with much room to spare! That box is one of the great BiFs of all time (in my Kanye voice).
