First ever beer trade? Let's hear em

My first trade was 2014 also involved a BCBS 13 4 pack. I got an Abyss 14, DH Old School barley wine 14 and DH 120 14

 

Good idea for a thread, could be some interesting older ones.

My first trade was back in 2010, easy to remember, I sent a six pack of Hopslam for 5 bottles of Pliny. And it wasn't the last time I traded for Pliny.

 

About 2 years ago, I traded a Mexican Cake for some local Michigan beers (Odd Side, Dark Horse)...can't remember what else

 

In 2015, I traded Half Acre Galactic Double Daisy Cutter X2 in exchange for KBS '15 X2 + BCBBW '14.

 

April 2015, I traded 6 KBS '15 for a Parabola '15 and a Sucaba '15. My first trading partner was also a first timer and obviously it was a great experience, because I'm now over 100 trades.

 

It was 2011 I traded a couple '10 Abyss for a couple sixers of Hopslam. The box arrived on my porch sopping wet reaking of stale Hopslam lol. The dude sent out another sixer and some glassware to make up for it.

 

In 2011, I was living in Florida and traded some Cigar City stuff for some BrewDog and Mikkeller beers (crazy, I know). But the guy also threw in FFF Zombie Dust and I had no idea what it was (knew of FFF just not that beer). To this day, it still is one of my favorite beers. I always wonder what might have happened if my first beer trade didn't contain such awesomeness...

 

Earlier this year. Pliny/BlindPig for heady/SOS. Great first trade

 

When I first started trading I had like 3-4 set up and can't remember the exact first "official" one. The first bix I ever got though was 12 cans of Jai Alai for a bottle of Pentagram.

Pretty fucking exciting right? Not really but what was kinda funny was the box from Cigar City smelled like cigar smoke. Good stuff.

 

Likely early 2013.

I traded a Parabola for 6X CW BB BW.

 

Made two trades at the same time with Pseudo (back when it was bombers and harder to find) for Heady in one and Pliny in the other.

 

First trade...October 2014. Got my first Pliny, first Modern Times (blazing world) and first Alpine (Bine and Vine Anniversary Ale). I've enjoyed trading since!

 

First trade ever was IP in Chicago a year and a half ago. A couple bottles of Darkhorse BBA Tres Blueberry for a Central Waters 17 (which I actually drank with some friends, finally, a couple weekends ago).

First every mail trade was just a few weeks ago. 2 Crowlers of Hipster Brunch, and 2 Crowlers of Hazel's nuts for a Parabola, Last Snow, Wide Awake, and Stickee Monkee.

 

Several years ago set up a pretty monster "trade" with a generous
Floridian ba'er. I put trade in quotes because it was more of a
welcome to the show porch bombing from this guy. I dont even remember
what I sent him... I think it was a couple Anchorage brews and some other randoms.

He sent me tons of Cigar City brews. MZ, Good Gourd, Jai Alai, and some other great randoms like BA Siberian Night, Gumball head.....

Very very thankful for that experience.

 

4 Heady for 3 Pliny. Got me hooked. My wife was really psyched!

 

My trade was 2 Pliny for 3 Heady. It was like Christmas day waiting for the box to arrive.

 

There should be some mass group trade thread for Christmas so we have something new and crazy to drink for the holidays.

 

Sort of like a BIF?

 

Those threads confuse me since i can't exactly figure out how its working. But sure

Secret Santa style.
