    If a brewery makes root beer, and cans or bottles it, does that make an "okay" extra? Would you be mad if you received one? Or okay with it if as long as it came with other "real" beer extras?

    I would have no problem with that at all. I think it would be a cool unexpected extra.

    That'd be fun.

    I really can't think of many cases where I'd be "mad" to receive an extra. Unless, high-end extras were agreed on and then crap arrived, but that'd be the exception. Extras are just that--extra!

    I guess "mad" would be the wrong word - because you're right - extras are purely "extra".

    Sounds cool to me. It means I could give it to my preggo wife. She would love that.

    I have included sodas for the other guy's kids and he was very appreciative.

    Root beer is great, even better if it all natural.

    I got some root beer from victory ( I think) as an extra, and it was awesome, and very much appreciated.

    I was brought up to be grateful for whatever someone gives you.

    Let's make a trade, I love root beer (seriously). One of the best extras I ever got was a bottle of Barrel Aged maple syrup. I was very appreciative.

    Sure, why not. I wouldn't have it completely take the place of beer extras, particularly since many people aren't going to love root beer the way they like beer, but I see no harm at all in slipping in a bottle.

    Other than beer extras, including glassware and clothing, is always appreciated. Everytime I open a brew with my Bells opener I think of the trader who sent it. I would love a craft rootbeer, extra or otherwise, and in fact am planning on brewing one made with sweet birch and sassafrass.

    I would totally love that! I got a schlafly opener in my first trade and I have a Haymarket opener in my cellar waiting for the day i possibly do another trade with that guy. As a rule of thumb I try sending boxes 1 at a time so one of us can evaluate extras and gift the other person accordingly

    Maui Brewing Co. has rootbeer that is an island only exclusive. I should have bought some to bring home last time I was visiting my parents.

    never going to be mad about an extra. i don't like soda (or pop, or whatever you call it; is it uniform now?) but i'd try some craft brewery's root beer if i got it as an extra, sure. also be very happy if i traded with someone from DE and ended up with a bottle of DFH's spirits as extra. glassware also cool. any thoughtful free shit is cool.

    I would be happy! An extra is an extra, so I would be happy with anything a trade partner sent me.

    I love locally-produced root beer. That would be a great extra.
