Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 10:09 Fri 7/15/2016 Hi! So, this is being brewed about 500 meters from my house. Us Swedish homers have managed to get it on the top 10 IPA list here on RateBeer so I felt for some sharing. Up for grabs is a package with two bottles of this specific beer: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/stigbergets-gbg-beer-week-2016/411389/ . IIRC it was bottled this Thursday. I bought it today and will keep it in my fridge till I’ll ship it out on monday. To be able to compete you need to be located in an EU country that’s not Sweden or Eastern Denmark (you’re close enough to get your own bottles). To compete I want you to do the following: * Send me a BM with the RateBeer names of your tasting group of at least 4 people (including you) and your address. * Promise to share (and preferably rate) the beer with said tasting group within 5 days of receiving the package. Whatever group has ticked the most of the IPAs currently rated 4.0 or higher BY ME gets the beers. This will be left open till Sunday 5 PM CEST for new participants. I plan to ship the beers on Monday (if my shipping cost calculations aren’t completely off and it’s insanely expensive to do so). Cheers! Alex

Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 11:17 Fri 7/15/2016 Most likely sold out by then but I guess I could get you a bottle now and keep it chilled till you’re here.
Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 13:43 Fri 7/15/2016 Small teaser: It’s a plus if you like dank and fruity.

Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 14:32 Sat 7/16/2016 5 tasting groups competing so far so I’m glad to see there’s interest. Giving this a last bump before the deadline if someone else wants to make a submission.
Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 10:10 Sun 7/17/2016 This is now closed. Will go through the submissions tonight and announce a winner.
Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 15:52 Sun 7/17/2016 My summary is as can be seen here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12yvXpuF5ALqpGf3bEbPFlbIOYVM_IGvBVfdi3drwKxw/edit?usp=sharing It seems I’ll be sending these beers to Leighton and the London crew. Congrats! To the rest of you thank you for showing interest. If any of you wants to pay for the beers and shipping I most likely could get a box gong your way too. Lmk in a beer mail in that case and I’ll let you know what that’d cost you when I know myself. Cheers! Alex

Alex Hats off to your diligence and processing this contest so xls-eriously. + lol@Freiburg’s rating prowess. Seems like we have out work cut out for us. Will need that spreadsheet as a to-drink menu! Note to other EU raters, post-Brexit: I would be up for setting up more local4local trades? No whales, just one SE/DK/ES/DE/IT local scene’s output for another, including all non-IPAs or ImpStouts....
