    Was just thinking about this on my drive home from work... during the short amount of time I've been involved in the beer trading scene I've gotten some pretty nice stuff as extras (black notes, KBS, bible belts, collector glassware, etc.) but out of curiosity what are some of the best extras you've ever personally received throughout your trading careers? walezbro?

    The generosity of some are just unmatched. Receiving multiples of one beer you're looking for always floors me. The best I've got that I can think of off the top of my head:

    Chocolate Rain
    Darkness
    Farmers Reserve 3
    Strawberry Rhubarb
    MOAS
    Melange 3

    I got a three year vertical of Central Waters BA Stout as an extra from @DMBTattoo in a recent trade. Also as an extra in that box was a Marshall Zhukov. Pretty damn impressive.

    I think Whalz bro will more often than not come from regular trading partners as they know they will more than likely be taken care of back at some point..which is totally understandable...with that said, getting what you mentioned above is always great..

    My first IP trade on a trip to Michigan was pretty great for a newbie. I told him I wanted some Bells and Founders stuff - nothing in particular, but just wanted to try some variety from these breweries. He gave me CBS, Curmudgeon's Better Half, Dark Lord '09 and '10, Bells batch 7k, 8k, 9k, multiple KBS, Black Note, BBPt5, Some Kuhnhenns...my jaw hit the curb. I got him a bunch of "hoppy stuff", per his request, and definitely put some decent bottles in there but walked away feeling like I robbed him...

    I did trade of two VSB to him for 3 bottles of BCBCS, the box he sent me blew my damn mind, he followed this up by sending me two four packs barrelworks insidious for a shipping label, along with tossing in a birth of tragedy.

    How to do you even pay something like that back?

    CBS was one that I remember from a couple years back.

    Not traditional whalez, but AC Golden batch #1 of Peche, Apricot & Kreik at the same time along with a C&C Lafolie. Scott knows how to rock your world!

    I would hope he hooked you up with some nice stuff after you have him two VSB for next to nothing.

    Extras are what make trading awesome, it's like Christmas morning for grown adults when opening the box.

    So many I can't even remember, but the one that comes to mind was in one of my most recent boxes - Cantillon Belgium flag bottle as an extra from a guy I was trading with for the first time. Color me impressed.
