Last Wednesday I sent some Beers from the Netherlands to Scotland after reading a story about a bad beer experience from @meesterboom.
He informed me that they had arrived Friday and that they were intact!
Great news because from the comments I got on the post, I learned that not every country will allow beers to be shipped into the country.
Customs will just confiscated (a.k.a. drink) them.
I had no idea. I did not even think about it when I send the package.
So hurray to Scotland! Freedom Beers and all that. Mell Gibson would be proud.
I did had to wait a day for the review of the beers I sent and last night it came online :)
My oldest friend and our dev @bennierex of Blockbrothers came to visit me yesterday evening so I bought some beers for him to choose from and for us to drink that night as well.
It was a fine collection of IPA's and some BA beers and some crazy beers. Like Vanille ice cream stout!
The idea was to drink just a couple.
Like in 4 or something.
I should have known better...
The evening was great we were chatting away and Bianca was there too.
And then you hear yourself say the famous words...
Shall we just have 1 more?
And that was that.
We also decided to fire-up one of our longest running games, that we play together.
It's funnily enough called the witness.
It's a puzzle game (single player). You are dropped on a island and have to figure out what to do.
There are no hints, no tutorials and no directions of where to go.
It's fantastic.
I like it when a designer trusts the intelligence of the player. (even when a little tipsy).
We have been playing it on and of for months.
It's a very good game.
The review
And then around 11:30am Dutch time the review came online! here.
All the Blockbrothers were reading it at the same time.
Steemify notifications were running overtime I guess :)
The review was all I could have hoped for.
One beer even got 9 booms out of 10. An incredible score!
I hope he can now put that awful beer experience to rest.
The only think I'm wondering now is how he feels.
My coffee machine has been running non stop, after my last night, I can tell you that :)
Have a great Sunday!

Cheers 🥂 guys! 😍
Glad to know that you are playing and drinking Beer, enjoying life and not getting distracted with recent crypto market crash...
yeah..you are right...
It's the best way to deal with all :)
It is great that you have balance in your life. Successful and also have time to enjoy playing video games and drink some beers whit friends.
That’s why I loved oldschool puzzle games in the 90s.. you couldn’t just google how to get out of a situation. You had to figure it out on your own or with the help of a friend(mom). 😄
I love point and click adventure games from the era. And yes no internet!
Good old Monkey Island. And there was some internet but not that much on it yet. We used cards like vauchers with a fairly slow connection at the time that used to give a certain amount of time on the web. :)
How many times "Shall we just have 1 more?" did you said ?:)
I have a game ""CATAN" I don't know if you heard ever about it , but it is great . I always play with my friends .It is a strategy game and it is multiplayer of course.
You could read more about it Here .
Yeah I know it! I used to play that when I was younger! Great game. I think it has lots of expansions now making it better. It's been a long time since I played though.
Yes it has , I have Catan – Traders & Barbarians Expansion and Catan – Seafarers Expansion .
I will buy more in the near future :) .
Wow, what a nice thing to do for a fellow steemer and beer drinker. I had read your post on choosing the beers for him and waited patiently for his review, which I catch every Saturday. You're right...the beers did not disappoint. Thanks for contributing to the weekly ritual!!
It was a cool experience!
That vanilla stout is the nectar of the Gods. I live in San Diego. People tell me this is the craft beer capital of the world, but I remain skeptical.
In any case, vanilla stout is my shizz. ;)
It was really nice!
@exyle It's always good to find out that Customs did not Steal the contents of the package to your friend.
lol, yes :)
@exyle US Customs in Miami are some of the Biggest Thieves anywhere...........
I also read the post of @meesterboom. I hope he is alright this morning!!
But you and Ben had a lovely evening too. I hope Bianca enjoyed it also :)
Well, coffee helps I think, but I also hope you remember all the calories in those beers (lol) Remember Steemfat3
Steemfat vs fun vs calories - the eternal struggle.
yeah, we polished off a few beers yesterday too ;) and a bottle of wine last night! :)
Maybe you will do a let's play of the game when you are a bit tipsy, that would be hilarious :))
Awesome beer rescue job :D
Lol at "Mel Gibson would be proud". Great review of those 4 beers, they were great choices. Glad to see you guys embracing the bbg spirit cause it's coming soon!
Thank you for Steemify!! I really like it!, it is a cool app.
IPA beers are my favorite! Hope you enjoyed those beers.
Happy to read you enjoy the app!
Make sure you send some beer to Melbourne :)! I can send you some Victoria bitter or some local craft beer if you like 'em! :)
I love to do an exchange but the postal costs to Australia must be killing!
beers are not aloud to be shipped in Brazil for example, I tried to sent to @jsantana long time ago, but got to know they wouldn't arrive at his place.
glad they got in Scotland safe and sound :P
Hehe, I now feel fine. I was a little delicate earlier. It was a fine night and sadly I too just had to have one more, them one more. Oof!!
I see the Thirnbridge Black Raven! I hope it was good. I have it on my list to try.
A complete success on the beering though, big Cheers to you @exyle!!
The Black Raven was decent. I do think I remember it lacked a little bit of body. Loved the review man. Beer on!
Fantastic, beer on indeed!! :0D
Yeah, you've saved him from a bad beer week. Now I'm relieved.
What can be better than having a drink with someone close to you and play something on PC lol?
Have a great weekend, man :d
This was on the PS4 but it's great game if you like puzzles.
wow this seems to be fun while playing and having fun with buddies enjoy the weekend :)
It's simple fun but I like it :)
@exyle,
I would like to hear an update about STEEMIFY - Android version! Hope to hear a good news about that development soon!
Cheers~
It's being development at this moment. But I don't have an ETA as of yet.
I'm glad you guys resolved the beer situation.
Oh yeah, drink a beer with vanilla flavor, it's incredible and I'm sure it's very tasty. After such a tasting, it's time to play the game and I'm sure you solved this puzzle without difficulty! Thank you Mark and I also wish you a great resurrection!
If you want to savor a delicious South American beer, I recommend "La Negra de Tercio" yesterday I recommend it to @meesterboom !!!
Wow this is really a collection of fine wine. My favorite there is vanilla ice cream stout. I could take that and get drunk taking it. Just love it.
Lolzz...what does coffee help do? Relieve a hangover?
Awesome moments
Enjoy yourselves. Good times are best spent with good friends.
I remember when you went shopping for beer.
Lovely game
Have a nice time
The nicest of times are the ones had with quality of friends with some real good beer
🍺''One beer even got 9 booms out of 10. An incredible score!''🍺
I wondered what would happen if you had 5 beers ! 🍻
@exyle. Don't be surprised if you have a foreign visitor in your home......cos i can decide to fly to your house because of that coffee alone....Lolz
Good job bro
wow..nice post...tnx for sharing...
Awesome writing Enjoy your life and keep it up Thanks for sharing your life on steemit
Hello @exyle. How are you
Very nic post.
What I love, I do not know today. I do not have any wish or not. It is astonishing that sometimes, when I wake up in the deep night, I hear the voice of the unreal, I see the mythical scene. Break the silence of the night and roar in my ears, There is no sea on the back.
If I do not have the moon in the sky and I see the full moon, I can recognize every star in the sky in the clouds. And on some other days, when a well-lit air is heard, first you can hear the name of a musical instrument, a beautiful melody, then whoever sings sweet melody more than the birds of the dawn
Do not think we're floating in the sea at night,
A melodious tune to flutter in the lake, so that
I can talk whispered with you ..........
Great!!! You are awesome @exyle
wow....what a great post. i like your Mission Beer for Boom a succes! + Having some beers and playing the game Witness with my oldest friend Ben post. thanks for share the post.
Hey Exyle.
Love your posts, I'm your biggest fan
Smiles, if you are the biggest, what am I? I guess I'm more than biggest. LOL
It has always been nice to have fun with close friends.
Enjoy the fun.
Wow... that score the person had is incredible... a whooping 9booms out of 10

Customs do confiscate beer??? Who really. Can someone tells me where they dump them. I would like to have an apartment close.
This was a very good idea, and it turned out to be a succes. What generous to sent some Nice good beers, and Seems it was welcomed and rated with a high score.
