For me, it isn't always about extras or about what I may or may not receive. When I trade, it's the excitement of putting together a box for a fellow BA member in hopes they enjoy what I send. I go from store to store to find those bottles/cans that jump out at me. I enjoy hearing back from friends about what they enjoy & what they don't. For me, a beer trade is like Christmas or a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. So I ask. What part of trading is the most exciting for you? Do you look for multiple bottles of the same brew so you can enjoy it more than once or do you just want to enjoy a brew for the sake of trying it? Or is it the giving part that you enjoy? The looking around, going from shop to shop to help please another BA?
