    So I traded with ET678 before, wanted to break him in since I think I was his 2nd trade. Sent him a pretty decent box IMO, but nothing absurd. Just agreed on locals and I sent him some other stuff instead to pay it forward...or so I thought. We had talked about BA Huna and the way it was essentially being held for ransom and even he agreed Florida BA's were gouging its asking price and started talking about how I would love a Cucumber Saison. Then today I get this surprise box.

    I literally haven't mad a sound since the box arrived about an hour ago. Just been petting the bottle like a villain would a cat. The nerve of him to drop this box on me and proclaim it a gift. No good deed goes unpunished my friend.

    I should also mention that AJTorres311 played a part in this too. Both awesome him and ET678 are awesome BA's. I'm indebted to them

    Last night i
    Last night i opened up some bottles with et678 and raczkowski. Tom (et678) was thrilled we opened up a ba huna since he had sent the one ajtorres helped him get to you rather than keep it to himself. Needless to say tom's good beer karma has already begun.

    Tom and Anibal are crazy man. He said it was a gift and kept me in the dark the entire time. I just hope I can one up him for it.

    Just trying to give the 2013ers/FL BAs a good name. Johnny is just getting some of his beer karma paid back. Dude traded for a 2103 DL to send to me because Id never had it. That good deed needed to be repaid.

    AJTorres was able to get his allotment and let me have one so I could send it to Johnny, he drank the other with his friends. Both are good dudes

    7clutch opened a BA Huna with us so I still got to try it...thanks again brother!

    If homeboy is indeed a new trader/BA, he deserves to be BA of the year and we are only 1/2 through the year.

    His seemingly good intentions are exactly what the trading community needs.

    I hope that's how you roll. If you make me look like an asshole, I will drive to Tampa to "visit family".

    Tom was genuinely more excited for his buddy to receive the package today than he was to try the beer last night. Very cool.

    Definite BA of the year IMO. I thought I won the trade when I sent my box. And I was so wrong.

    Good to see some Florida traders get it. Instead of trying to hold ransoms for the BA Huna. It's what it's all about. Good Karma your way man. Too many 'other' BA's would have tried to 'profit' off the good fortune. This guy seems to have only gotten one bottle too. Not the 'cases' of bottles some have gotten and he essentially BIF'd it. Some people in Florida should take notice!!!
