    Bump. Well I am new to trading but I received a really tasty beer that to that point I had never heard of .. M-43. A couple extra cans were thrown in a great trade already. Very tasty NE style IPA. I'm interested in hearing what new extras y'all have received !

    Best received: Fuzzy Baby Ducks, Sip of Sunshine, a can from Treehouse (I think it was Green; the trade included Julius and Alter Ego)

    What I would consider the worst was still free and enjoyable to drink...

    Best I have received was from my very first trade. It was a 4:4 trade I sent Monkish and received Bissel Brothers. The Extras were another 4 pack including my first ever Trillium and Battery Steele. We now keep in contact and just send each other boxes of our local releases very often. Honorable mention is I received Perrin No Rules.

    2 cans of busch light.

    Not even kidding. The trader sent it with a note saying it was included because it was "Missouri's most popular beer" which I guess was a joke, but why even waste the money on extra shipping weight? Not to mention the "joke" could have been executed with just one can. Was this some sort of satisfaction to them that extras were reciprocated?

    Some of the best extras I've received include Treehouse Tornado, Double Fuzzy Baby Ducks, BB Dark Apparition, 2 fresh Noon Whistle crowlers of different IPAs, Shawdow Man II from River North, a huge bomber of Bolt Cutter, Rye Hipster Brunch, and I'm sure others I'm forgetting. Yeah, most Ba traders are pretty great!

    I know I'm quoting myself from 2 years ago but ohh how times quickly change and on the other had stay exactly the same.

    Updated
    Best: Abraxas, BB Plead the 5th, Rye Hipster Brunch, Foggy Window DIPA.
    Worst: still no extras that I was disappointed with enough to recall. This community and my trading partners have been great to me.

    One of my early traders sent me a de Garde. Not one of the tougher to get ones but a very nice surprise nonetheless.

    Edit from my previous response:
    Best received: Multiple Monster's Park variants, and good ones at that. Bourbon Barrel with Vanilla and Bourbon Barrel with Coconut and Cocoa. Bother were in the same trade.

    Best extras, and all from the same guy:
    4 Moonraker Cans (DoJo and Hermit)
    50/50 Eclipse bomber
    Abraxas
    The three listed above were all in the first trade with him.

    Followed by:
    Russian River Beatification
    Surly BA Darkness
    Cycle Rare Dos
    Lost Abbey Veritas Ale (018)

    and a bunch more that I can't remember off the top of my head. But damn, my guy treats me well. I have a big ol' box on its way from him tomorrow too, and I can't wait to see what's inside!
