    (I had previously posted this in the $4$ forum, but was told to post it here, again, if this is incorrect, feel free to delete and PM me why.)


    (Apologies, but I'm new to this, so if this is incorrect, please delete and PM me why.)

    Looking to trade my local for your local. Micro/nano/small breweries. I'm from Central PA, so have access to:

    Boneshire, Tattered Flag, Troegs, with occasionally Millworks, ZeroDay, and Moo-Duck (in crowlers) if I venture into Harrisburg or E-Town.

    Beers from Boneshire and Tattered would be 16oz cans and are typically 4-6$ per can. Troegs cans are usually 5-6$ or bottles 6-8$ (with some being 10-14$ specialties, the cork and cage series) I haven't priced the crowlers from ZeroDay or Millworks recently, but Moo-Duck was 8-10$ depending.

    I can also (sparingly due to most of their releases going so quickly) get Rotunda. But thats not always a given due to how fast they sell out. It also depends on if their doing crowlers or if their doing 16oz can releases.

    I'd be interested in areas of the country I don't have access to and that don't distribute. Stuff to try that would be new and interesting. Perhaps your favorite local brewery? I would like to try various kinds for my blog to give reviews and ratings, and to help expand brands and help good breweries and brewers get recognition.

    Likewise I would love to see Boneshire and Tattered Flag get more recognition as well as both are tremendous breweries.

    I tend to like stouts, porters, barleywines (love barleywines but few smaller breweries do them), smoked beers, roggenbiers, sours, and fruited beers. I will enjoy IPAs and DIPAs (and TIPAs) and pale ales as well.

    Tattered Flag tends to do a lot of IPAs and sours. Boneshire tends to do a variety of good old German style. Moo-Duck, Millworks, and ZeroDay are all over the place with various styles. Rotunda does mostly IPA and sours.

    If any interest please reply or PM. I think this would be a lot of fun, and we could try all sorts of beers and breweries we wouldn't normally get to try. And plus, I'd get to review different beers for my blog and give these brewers/breweries some recognition and spotlight.


    Thanks!

    Great post. Wish you the best of luck. Lots of people want to do the same thing as you, but sometimes takes a few posts before someone sees them. Local 4 local traders tend to not trade quite as much as “limited” traders.

    Don’t get discouraged, it will happen. If no bites, someone can probably give you a few names of people to hit up that are often open to such trades.

    Thanks, so far I've managed to get 3 PMs, and working on deals with them. So actually so far so good. Will be great to get from all different regions. And obviously the more the better and the merrier. :slight_smile:

    When you mean "limited" traders do you people looking for one-offs and things like "whales" or "industry giants" like Burley Oak JREAMS or Aslin stouts or things like that @Beer_Economicus ?

    Limited refers to really anything that is not a shelfy everywhere. KBS is pretty widely available, and still available throughout much of the Midwest right now. That said, it would still be considered limited, although that is fading. What people normally think about as being limited is more of the special releases from a brewery, and generally, harder to find items. So, BC Vanilla 2018, while widely distributed is considered limited, but so too us a Toppling Goliath SR-71, which is WAY more limited.
