Message MonsterMagnet beers 1955 º places 15 º 14:05 Sun 4/30/2017 Great ahuls people! Statistics: - delivered: 23 (of which 3 are not fully posted yet) - on the road: 6 - returned to sender (and to be shipped again): 1 - unknown: 1 (a brief message with the status isn’t really that much trouble, is it?)
Message Gurthnar beers 12217 º places 22 º 03:03 Tue 5/2/2017 Situation update on my part: I have only been able to send my box for Christos today, due to a series of several unfortunate problems, the latest of which involved my car breaking down. However I hope the box will be able to make up for it, I even included a couple of extra bottles. Nevertheless I am very sorry for this unprecedented delay :( It is the first time this has happened to me. According to the tracking info, the box from Taboada to me should arrive probably tomorrow and will be swiftly documented :)

Nómada has their own place now in Madrid. "El Sainete" in C/segovia (10 mins walking from Plaza Mayor). You can taste there some of their top brews. I will be there on monday by the way :)
Message Gurthnar beers 12217 º places 22 º 12:01 Tue 5/2/2017 So apparently FedEx managed to get the box from Wien to my doorstep within 1 day - what a feat :O Here is a pic: http://imgur.com/a/a6IGG And the beers: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/la-quince-llipa-grapefruit/449709/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/guineu--la-quince-old-xmas-ale/479143/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/guineu-mr-petroli/334631/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/musa-born-in-the-ipa/396189/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/el-oso-y-el-cuervo-old-drunk-bear/472087/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/burguesa-imperial-ipa/309264/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lanjub--lo-gambusi-cherry-love/472092/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/barcelona-beer-company-nicotto/403392/ https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/barcelona-beer-company-miss-hops/414580/ I asked for special releases if possible, regardless of style or brewery and that is exactly what I got. I also asked Taboada to include a Spanish cider (sidra) if possible and he not only did that - he chose an ice cider and one of the top 50 on RB at that! Great thanks, Alex! I will definitely share this with some cider aficionados here in Bratislava. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/valveran-20-manzanas-frost-cider/190463/

Maybe for the next time. Enjoy the beers and the Ice Cider. Cheers!!!
