between this thread :http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/newbie-advice.26595/ and having recently completed my first ever trade (IP) which resulted in a number of tasty brews, I've decided to dip my toe into the land of beer trading. I'm from southern california, and looking to do local for local at least initially. Being a n00b, i'm fully prepared to ship first. RR beers are a bit of a pain to track down in any decent quantity, but I have convenient access to The Bruery (i'm an RS member), Noble Aleworks, Bootleggers, Stone, Green Flash, Alesmith, Ballast Point, Hangar 24 and pretty much anywhere else in the San Diego, Riverside, Orange, or Los Angeles county areas. If you're interested, let me know!
