Sorry mods, wasn't sure if this belonged either here or in trading section; guessed it was more beer talk, than ISO or FT deal. Well I can't wait to try these babies; thanks James!!!
Does this mean I should cancel my bid for 4 x Heady Topper? Congrats dude! Looks like you got some awesome beer! I'm still too chicken to try my first trade. "Popping the cherry" seems appropriate, lol. I'm too nervous that I'll mess up or I don't know what to do my first time.
Just ask lots of questions, I'm pretty new to trading and have asked for help. Most BA's are more than happy to guide you. I'll answer anything I can And, congrats OP!
Thanks Gents! It was pretty straight forward and although I've not tried any yet, play ice hockey on Wednesdays, I've got a feeling it's going to be well worth it! Lot of good info here for when you're ready to give a try: http://alewatcher.blogspot.com/2010/11/new-trader-tips.html
I received Cadillac Mtn Stout in my first trade too... And it was pretty damn good. Welcome to the slippery slope my friend, it's a glorious ride.
Well I've had over 60 trades and still no Heady Topper, so I'd say that you can comfortably enjoy yourself. And welcome to the addiction hobby!
As long as you love packing material, massive shipping charges, and risking money - trading is fun. ( I love it )
Somehow I feel embarrassed to admit this, but about two weeks ago my wife dragged me to the Container Store. The only reason I was willing to go was the promise of a burrito afterwards (yes, I'm a man-boy). After I found the shipping supplies aisle, she could barely drag me out of the store. Prices are surprisingly good too.
I popped my beer trading cherry last week, as well. AND I CAN SEE HOW PEOPLE GET ADDICTED! Open a Heady Topper soon. I scored a can in a trade and it's delish! Also, it's a very good thing I no longer live by the Container Store. I confess to loving it, generally.
I had a HT Wednesday as soon as I got home from hockey. Had both the Ithaca Flower Power and Mayflower Spring Hop last night as well, both were VERY good to excellent. HT is for sure the show stopper, just OUTSTANDING!!!
