Amazing Regular Traders - Give them a shout out!

Two guys I trade with regularly are MarkIntihar and GehenHerzog both of these guys are super, overly generous in each and every way. I have had 5+ trades with each of them, each mostly open ended and always amazing. Other people I have traded with that are awesome and always send incredible stuff my way BdubleEdubleRUN, cfh64, samtallica, and dc55110. I was looking for beatification and leschkie was so generous to send me two and a box of other stuff for absolutely nothing in return! Couldn't believe this act of beer advocacy!

But to be honest everyone I have traded with so far has been great. These guys have just gone above and beyond!

 

You forgot Rempo. Mark tricks you into trading and then leaves personal whales in your fridge like its a cool thing to do!

 

Alright, the aces in my book!

Mulder1010 and Mrkennedy- My AU connects which gave me half my cellar, you guys are stellar!
Sendsilk - For my CCB stuff and being my stout guru and long random conversations.
TimFoolery( "The Guy") - For my RR stuff, yeah buddy.
Charliemurphy- for the all the blind boxes going back and forth
Tooch4321- For not ****** me on the midwest stuff

 

I've had many great trades, but I'll call out two people:

Black13 - Our first trade was a Darkness for some '08 BCBS. I'm not sure how many trades we've done to date, but I've probably sent out two to three cases of BCBS. He keeps my cellar full of HotD goodies, for which I am very grateful.

ablackshear - my former tasting buddy before he moved to Denver. Now he brings me back all sorts of CO goodies, and I do my best to grab him some Midwest rarities whenever they show up.

There are many other traders I've had the fortune of trading with (kevsal, mikedashg, et al.), so thanks to all.

 

Duff27 hooks me up with New Glarus, which deserves praise in itself, but he always goes way above and beyond and throws in some of the most ridiculous extras. Straight up an awesome, awesome trader that I can only hope to one day repay for his generosity. Plus he makes some incredible home brew.

Cheers, Chris!

 

StarRaptor, Miikezombie, BigE90 (and Hoparoundnw2337) TimmyJ21, GuisseppeFranco, and Miamilice. All these guys are awesome traders. Regular trading partners are the reason I keep trading. It is like a competition to see who can send a better box to whom (and I have gotten my butt handed to me many times!).

 

Ill keep it pretty simple:

Mordormongo-Without this dude i wouldnt have most of the narley beer i have in my cellar.

Schustar-Solid dude, my first trade, and keeps them coming when he can.

Send me beer now!

 

Way too kind!! I think you've probably filled an A380 full of USPS boxes in sending beer our way

 

I'd have to give a shout out to my most frequent regular trader, Valdieu2. He's hooked me up with some great Maine glassware and beers (as well as clothing and some vintage breweriana) in every trade from the first.

 

I should note that I don't "trade" very often but more or less exchange beer. What I mean is, I have friends in distant lands that look for beers they know/think I will like and just send it to me and I do the same for them. I consider myself very fortunate to have these great friends. It is very rare that I do a structured trade.

So....
Julie & Brian - Alaska
Mouli - California
Mark - Michigan
Sakina - Florida
Nick - Connecticut
And a special shout out to my local beer swapper Jeff who drops crazy beers on me without warning.

Thank you so much guys and gals. Your friendship and generosity is amazing.

 

I've been lucky enough not to have a bad trade partner yet, not many multiple or regular partners, just trade when i feel like it and can afford it. But I would have to say that the awesomeness I've experienced is a tie between Minnesota and Cali traders! Always get boxes that make my jaw drop and grin from ear to ear from the BA's in these states.

 

Returning the praise, I would have to say that Etan has always come through with great and unique beers. His extras are always first class. Never disappointed

 

I'm a big fan of ThomasHardy when he was around more and Jeffo. Continuously stellar boxes and great communication. Urbancaver has gone above and beyond in the past on including me in his many beer runs

I'll gladly add to the list of great trading partners. Frankly, I'm very shocked that Biglobo8971 hasn't been mentioned at least a dozen times by now... BT's about as SOLID as they come and he doesn't hoard the Surly goodness that keeps me sane. I'll gladly trade with any of the fellas and back them if it's ever needed.

Aw, mike made a shirtless guy blush.
Seriously though, the last box mikecharley sent me was intense. Still waiting to open that Splinter Blue you sent. I think it's happening in November with tons of other sour beer. He's an awesome trader!

 

Can't agree with this more. Scott got me into the trading game and has been beyond generous since.

 

ive had the pleasure of trading with plenty of great, generous BAs but i'll shout out:
