    So I'm new to this game and I'm
    Only really interested in trying to get Pliny the elder and heady topper I think I'm set for heady but what's a good trade value for Pliny I have a crap load of local Dallas brews (which is blowing up amount of breweries wise.) I am concerned that people won't be interested in my trade offers for these two much coveted brews for my badass local brews in my eyes any advice guys?

    I am also new and I can get you Pliny. I would be willing to trade for some Dallas brews I can't get here and also rate highly. Would need some time to get the Pliny though. Let me know what you can get to trade

    Well in dallas we have multiple great breweries we have lakewood, deep Ellum, four corners, franconia and many others question is what style of beer do you enjoy and I'll find you our best. What's the time period for you to get ol pliny the elder?

    If I had some pliny I would send ya some. I'll be in Cali in a month but outside of that I'm not much help. Just letting the other guy know what he'd be missing out on.

    Dude, there are a ton of Dallas folks that get Pliny. I literally this week just finished a couple- but I too was where you were, and those are two solid accessible IPAs to go after. Keep me in the loop if ya need anything (after this Pliny trade) and I'll see if I can introduce ya to some locals here and their sick cellars...

    Yeah deep Ellum is one of my favs. I have two potential trades but one I haven't had a response in awhile is that normal? Since I'm new to this I'm afraid these traders might back out is there a way to make people feel comfortable with trading with me?

    @Grantotx the rule of thumb is first time trader ships first until they have a couple of refs that people can check with, that may help with getting the trade done. Also make sure that both parties have accepted the trade request before anyone ships to make sure you can at least leave a review in case something goes south in the trade

    I'm also in the Dallas area and new to the trading. I put an ISO for Pliny and Heady and based on the responses people were pretty much looking specifically for JK. Blood and Honey is all over my liquor store right now along with a bunch of all the other TX brews...minus JK. Is there any way to get some Pliny/Heady without sending back some JK?

    Bomb and Bible Belt have always traded well for me...scored some Heady with those not very long ago.
