1st Time Beer Trading

IP trades are a great way to start. Keep an eye if anyone is coming to your area in the IP trade forums. Huna is a great beer to start getting your feet wet. Not sure I'd call it a heavy hitter like its BA counterpart but it will trade for other limited beers. Keep an eye out for brewery only releases to help you gain some beers people seek.

 

Welcome to the great world of trading!!! It is very addicting. Along with what @Carp19 said about watching the trade formes please read the rules very well. Good luck in trading!! Rules- http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/beer-trading-rules-tips.229/

I just had to clean that up, but left a few comments so the OP can learn without being bashed.... poor guy prob dosent know what is going on.. I dont think he likes people trying to help, after the one comment it all went down the drain...

 

As I've always said, start out with a locals for locals "surprise" trade. Set a $ limit and let each other know styles you like/dislike and local breweries you may be interested in. I've ended up with pretty nice stuff in these trades and would like to think I've sent cool stuff as well.

And as others have said when pursuing something specific, do you homework first so you don't look like a fool
