A little wisdom from the 'Experienced'

I bought two bottles... wish I could have bought more. That beer was worth the price of admission, IMO.

 

The beer they sell in six packs is almost always a better deal than the expensive one off in a bomber that you want to trade for but know you shouldn't.

Enjoy your region more by traveling outside of your region or by trading. Both are a great way to better experience the world of beer.

Be nice.

Preferences and taste are subjective so don't try to argue that beer A is better than beer B lol

Go to breweries and chat people up. I've met so many awesome people and had so many great conversations in various brewery pubs.

Trading doesn't have to be about whales. IMO, the best trades for the $$$ are about quantity rather than super rare whale quality. We are all trading craft beer so it is all good in the end, right? So don't worry about trading only for a whale. Sometimes its nice to get a box full of different beers that are all from a single brewery that doesn't distribute anywhere near you.

Last of all,

Cheers.
