    Does anyone here do general trading or do I have to find something I want and offer up something I already have? Would like to just list what I have now and pick a few good beers that I haven't tried before.

    You could post a FT: List ISO: List posting and hope people click in to see the details where you list what you have and what you are looking for.

    Yeah, I thought about that, but I'm not really "looking" for anything specific just open to trades. I'm currently searching through others want list to see if I have anything anyone needs, but it's a slow time consuming process since I don't typically wait in line for releases, but I guess I'm going to have to.

    Post in the locals for locals forum and list some of the breweries you have access to.
    For ISO put the styles you prefer.

    Put something like:
    FT: 12 cans of CA IPA : ISO Your local IPA

    Is that the same as the Trading: Locals forum? I did post there already so at least I got that base covered. I just put up the breweries I have access to in So cal, but should I also list my beers in the cellar?

    I just saw your post. See how it does. If it doesn't attract any interest then put in specific brews you have or can get in your next post.
    Bottle Logic is a sought after brewery, Stasis series especially.
    Good luck!

    ok thanks. I have picked up several bottles from BL in the past for others who like them, but I personally don't like my beers that strong. I guess I'll have to stock up on some "traders" so I can gain some interest.

    I can promise you’ll gain more than a little interest with a pile of bottle logic....

    Good luck and happy hunting!

    Had I only known they were so sought after. I think I got my nephew every DarkStar release over the last several years and a few others from them.

    would be willing to send some CT/Northeast brews your way if you just want locals like @FFFjunkie and @jhavs said BL stuff will get some interest like mine right now as I've never had any BL stuff

    Well I have completed a couple of trades so my pile of BL bottles are getting thin. The problem with stuff you've never tried before is you don't know if you like it them or not. So far most of my bottles have been hording either the great notion or tired hands releases. I think I also got a BA stout as well. Would really like to nail down more stuff like that or milkshakes.

    no worries man just putting it out there. some of the best trades I've done have been just a 12pk for a 12pk of local where neither person really specifies any wants just more of "I don't like this style anything else goes" haven't been disappointing yet but like above just post in the local section and see what comes back
