As you can see, I am new here....brand new. I am also probably relatively new to the craft beer scene as compared to quite a few of you. To be honest, the beer trading community is pretty intimidating for a new person such as myself to join. My question is this - are BIF's the best way for a person such as myself to prove that I am not a d-bag? Or is there a better way to establish myself as a decent trader and human being?
