nothing personal, but an unknown poster asking to sell beer on behalf of someone else is not really the way to inspire confidence. tell him to get a mybeercellar account, at least that way there's some protection for the buyer.

I've also posted several times in the main beer thread. I was also the guy who chipped in money for the BIF box and i didn't even participate in the original (or current) BIF.

SF-area goons, i came across this: "SARA is releasing Lucybelle today - 2 per person limit. 60ish cases available. Will probably last into the end of the weekend."

i would like a bottle.

ps- that's Sante Adairius Rustic Ales

Yeah holy poo poo that's an absurd trade. VSB comes in a small 12oz bottle iirc.

Oh and on the NG chat, I'd be interested in trading Atrial Rubicite for New Glarus Thumbprint Wild Sour if anyone's got that.

might be able to include that in the next box i send you... (although i really want Noctum again)

the trading community hyped Atrial pretty hard, so its' trade value is high.

yeah, is there a reason you're set on getting it? i don't want to sound patronizing, but are you into sour beers at all? if you are, cool, go for it- otherwise you're setting the bar kinda high for one of your first trades. my only other suggestion- and it's kind of of hail mary- is to contact someone who's looking to trade an AR and say, "here's everything i have to trade- is there anything here that will get this done?"

i'm in a few active trading groups and a steady HF hookup is truly hard to find. plenty of people live in/around Boston, but somebody who heads up to HF on any kind of a regular basis, well, that's a special thing.

Based on the stupid things being posted on TB, he might have to give up all 3 of those. Which is loving stupid.

oh, his trading game is way above mine, so he knows what's up, but since he's getting crickets so far i figured i'd ask here because goons seem less inclined to hold poo poo hostage than your average BA user. motherfuckers have pretty much destroyed the curve already, though.

I'm honestly surprised there's this much hype. If you got there at 9 am (the earliest you could get in line), you were guaranteed 2 bottles of it.

St Louis isn't far from Chicago? seriously, though, the pre-release buzz and fear of a total shitshow drove the traders into a frenzy and set the bar way too high/broke the curve. if everyone knew how simple it was going to be i think we'd see much more reasonable trades going down.

^^ Honestly, just trade with goons. I've had the best experiences (barring one or two people) with goons.

my only bad trade was with a goon who ended up on the big "bad trader list" and who disappeared from the forums a while back, but i've had great experiences with probably ten or twelve others, a few of whom i've traded with multiple times.

There were a couple bad trader posts on BA back in the day for him. I think he went into hiding. He owed me a box for like 6 months and when he finally mailed it, it was missing some things we had agreed on him sending me. He ended up including some pretty decent local bottles, so I didn't make a fuss about it. This was 3 or so years ago.

yeah, and he got super-defensive in them. guess he was doing the Bruery trustee thing for a few different folks and burned them, but there's likely some recompense for that. me, i just got hosed over brutally with nothing to show for it.

Fluo, i believe we've got at least two European goons who post with some frequency- Loonytoad Quack in England and Klaus Kinski, whom i believe is in Sweden... or maybe Denmark. think we might've had a Belgian for a second, too, but that was a while back.

okay, trying to take care of some wants for a secret santa in another group. only looking to fill a couple spots and these are his more-attainable desires:

-Crooked Stave Oculus
-Upright Blend Love, Fantasia
-Trace Remy's Pappy
-Side Project (pretty much anything ((lol)))
-de Garde Vin Rougie, Lee Noir, Archer
-FW PNC Buckwheat
-Midnight Sun 3000
-Voodoo PVW Black Magic
-Central Waters Fifteen
-GI BCBS Vanilla
-de Struise Black Damnation V
-Kern Citra (assuming it's fresh, dunno what the release schedule is)

we're both east coast guys, so similar west coast offerings (aside from the Bruery as he's in the RS) are welcome, too. some things that i'm willing to trade:

-CCB Forgotten Island, Good Gourd Almighty
-Cascade Vlad, Sang Noir
-Captain Lawrence Rosso e Marrone
-Crooked Stave Dark Origins
-FW Double DBA, XVII, Velvet Merkin
-Forest and Main Manu Negra
-Founders Better Half, Nemesis 09, Nemesis 10
-Hangar 24 Pugachev's Cobra
-Alesmith BA Speedway
-Hardywood GBS, BA GBS, Rum Pumpkin, Anniversary beers, various other offerings
-HF Arthur, Nordic Saison, Florence, Anna, Vera Mae
-Russian River Beatification
-3 Brothers Resolute, Atramentous
-Alewerks Cafe Royale, Bourbon Barrel Porter
-Bruery Grey Monday
-whatever Strangeways and Lickinghole Creek is around

pretty aware of relative trade and monetary values, so i understand that a lot of those are not 1:1. also, since the SA messaging system blows, my gmail address is smrandolph and, on the off-chance that i get a lot of responses, preference will be given to those with whom i've previously traded. thanks!

I hate to say it but it's SHOCKING it's taken this long for someone to get popped doing this. As far as dirtbag grifts go, this seems like low-hanging fruit but with the added effort of dipping the bottle for authenticity.

it happened a couple years back and was a thing on BA, but, yeah, surprised it doesn't happen more frequently. what gets the most about this instance is that the dude didn't even put a vanilla beer back in the bottle (or at least a few drops of extract)

i've had beer freeze and explode inside of the box prior to delivery. my understanding is that the freezing point drops two degrees for every 1% ABV, so if you're getting higher-alcohol beers and it won't be much below freezing, you should be okay. otherwise, try to check the five-day forecast between yourself and the shipment origin to make sure you're not facing low temps in the teens or something.
