Take the prize, Oliver. I get to save on postage that way.

Well if you don't claim it I'll end up looking like the villain. So c'mon, do it for me! :D

OK, so you have convinced me. I will PM you all.

I'll enter the next two lottos twice so that I can return the love.

Cheers,

Oliver

Just packaging up a smoked porter like Paul received in the last lotto, an ag galaxy pale ale and an ag black sheep-ish clone. Keen to hear what you think of all of them but also on the ag galaxy pale ale as you had my extract version in a recent lotto.

Cheers

SaazGorilla's Belgian Golden Ale received by hand delivery. Thanks mate.

Haven't received anything else yet, but my friendly local post office is notoriously hopeless so I'm not worries yet.

Cheers,

Oliver

Not yet sorry Tipsy. But I have had some take more than two weeks in the past, so I am sure it'll turn up.

I'm yet to send you anything but I have not forgotten. Probably going to be a few bottles of an oaked, oat porter at this stage given the other kegs feel very empty.

Tipsy, I picked up yours this morning after receiving my final notice in the post yesterday. My Post Office is hopeless. I have NEVER received a first notice for any packages sent to me.

Anyway, I have it now so all is good.

Earle, I will, no doubt, receive the final notice for yours in the next day or two.

Doc and barls, no dramas about any "delays". I am happy to wait.

Cheers,

Oliver

A final notice arrived today for a package, which I assume will be yours, Earle.

As per usual, no first notice was received.

Earle, confirming the arrival of your triplets. Many thanks.

However, they may have to wait until after I return from Beervana in NZ, although I may never drink again after that :-)

Glad it finally got to you Oliver. I don't know, having my beers tasted after you've been to beervana is a bit intimidating.

Earle,

Hold your head up! Commercial beer does not necessarily equal well-brewed, good beer. I did not enjoy a great deal of the beers at the Beer Spectapular, held here in Melbourne as part of Good Beer Week. Call me up myself, but a lot of my AG homebrews are much more pleasant drinking than a lot of the commercial beers I taste.

Have faith! I'm looking forward to tasting all the contributions from all you losers :-)

Cheers,

Oliver

Planner,

Your Ale Lager has been received, thanks. I even got a first notice from the post office for the first time in years. You must know people.

Cheers,

Oliver

AusPost now offer tracking as standard on parcels, I watched online where it was going step-by-step (right down to the minute it was collected).
Had a win at the post office also, the girl behind the counter weighed it at 1kg (750ml beer, crown seal bottle and packaging) so cheapest postage I've paid on lotto losses.

Nothing interesting to see here, move along.

I'll be in NZ from this Saturday, primarily for Beervana in Wellington. Barls is going too, I have discovered.

I've started a Beervana thread.
