    So, I worked out a trade with Jim (ThreeFishes). It was his first trade and, holy crap, you'd have thought this was the 132nd box of beer he packaged up! He double boxed it...each bottle was wrapped in its own cocoon of bubble wrap and secured with saran wrap. The bottles were in the inside box, all surrounded by packing peanuts. The inside box was then insulated in the outside box by another 2-3 inches of padding. It was a freaking work of art!

    Oh yeah, the beers. Trade was for three fresh Hunas:

    AWESOME!

    Then, Jim sent all of this...as extras...for his first trade of all time:
    [​IMG]
    - Oak Jai Alai
    - 2x Jai Alai
    - CCB Ghost Stories
    - Saint Somewhere Lectio Devina (saison/dubbel hybrid ... two of my favorite styles!)
    - 2x Terrapin Moo Hoo
    - Blackberry Wheat homebrew
    - Ten Fidy

    I mean, come on?! Those EXTRAS are a haul on their own!!

    What's that? He wasn't done?! WHAAAAA????

    BOOM.

    Jim, welcome to trading!!! The force is strong with this one.

    Oh, that White Oak Jai Alai is all sorts of delicious. That's awesome! I hope you blow his porch up.

    Also, those Jai Alais were canned less than two weeks ago. So, yeah.

    Never had the white oak Jai Alai, can't wait!

    Wow thanks guys.

    I want to say thanks to Bill for being a great partner for my first trade. He answered all my questions and provided a bunch of helpful info. He's also just a good guy to talk beer with, I couldn't be happier.

    By the way...I thought this WAS winning the trade.
