My friend Matt aka @Billylightning on instagram deserves some sort of Noble Peace prize for Beer. He doesnt have an account but this guy is a true BA, he was the one to teach me that beer is " just liquid ,there is no such thing as rare." Ive seen him give away Assassin( he hadnt even tried it before), King Sue, David etc just for shelf beers merely because he just wants to trade for beers he hasnt had. He could care less for bottle limits, hype, rarity, reputation, he just trades to share. He missed the release of King Sue yet bought some bottle off his buddy to be able to get me a bottle just because he knows King Sue is the best beer ive ever had in my opinion. And this is without me asking for anything, we just simply send each other stuff when we see great stuff., and this has lead to us becoming great friends. I hope everyone gets to encounter a great guy like Matt in their trading careers. Because as things get worse with, mules, truck chasing, bottle limits, trade winning, auctions, and "whalez bro!" We need more BAs like this. Would like to hear everyones awesome beer buddy stories. Cheers guys!
I made a tongue-n-cheek comment last year in this forum about wanting to be buried with HT and ZD, since I'm never going to get them in my life time, and was reached out to by a couple of fellow BAs who sent me one of each
