It’s almost that time of year again and I want to share with
you how I’ll be counting down to Christmas.
After a fun time, last year, I opted to go with Beer Cartel
again this year, main reasons were the price – I got a discount for ordering
early – and the fact that each year they change what’s in it.

| It looks amazing! |
This year’s carton/ calendar has undergone some changes.
It’s cans only.
It’s shorter – so it can fit in the fridge.
It’s 5x5 so it could fit x25 beers.
My carton arrived in pristine condition, I put it away so it
was safe until needed.
A couple of days later I receive an email, a text message
and see on Facebook that one of the beers has been recalled due to being canned
too early… meaning its ABV could be a lot higher or that it could explode at
any moment – it needs to be disposed of.

Not only do I not have a beer for Xmas Day now but I now
know what it is…
Apparently 4,800 cartons were affected – too many to send a last-minute
different beer so through a survey the company has given everyone one of four
options about what they want to do.
I have opted to have the beers cost sent to the Rural Fire
Service who are going through hell on the mainland.
So now I will be on the hunt for another beer for Xmas day.
But I still have a great way to countdown to one of the best
times of the year.
I will be updating what surprises are hiding inside as we go
through December.
Cheers,
Dave
