    I'm still fairly new to trading but in one of my first trades I sent out a 6-pack of OTWOA for a 4-pack of Heady. When I received my package I found two extra cans of Heady Topper, along with another local IPA. I was thrilled to say the least and couldn't help but share the wealth with a couple friends who also love beer.

    Surly Coffee Bender. It came as an extra and I immediately went back and set up a trade for 8 more!

    Aside from recognizable extras, i try to throw in stuff from small local brewpubs that don' t suck. Is this a violation of extra etiquette?

    I'm down to a few regular trade partners, they all add great xtra stuff, great beer, glassware etc. Kinda gets to be a competition to add good stuff they can't daily get.

    Best received would have been marshall wharf cant dog or a 2 year vertical of kbs.
    Best received from a BA who trades regularly and comes to tastings at our local mom & pop would be heady, psuedo sue 7, and OTWOA from dc brau and we were just sharing beers.
    Worst would have been a 21 month old cherise from founders. gotta love a vintage fruit beer. lol. :confused:

    Best: Was sent a box containing Zombie Dust and Alpha Klaus around Christmas from an awesome regular trader. Never had had either at the time, both are no some of my favorites.

    Best given: I've sent BCBCS after I had to delay shipping about a 7-10 days. Also sent Abyss to someone out of the Deschutes distro.

    I've really had some serious awesome extras but the box out of the blue was pretty slick.
