| Sep 2018 | LazyPyro | Craig randomly messaged me on the (then new) forums and offered to send a rare beer of my choosing. I ended up receiving a parcel (double boxed) containing three highly regarded beers, each very well packed, bomb-proof. A kind and very generous gesture that although unnecessary was massively appreciated. People like Craig make this a great community to be part of. Thanks again! |
|
| Nov 2017 | j12601 | Craig brought some nice stuff over on his recent trip. Greatly appreciated, and had a great time in NYC with him. |
|
| Nov 2017 | Iznogud | We were supposed to conduct a trade in London, but that failed due to the tight schedule. Craig said he could bring me the much desired GKHSR to NYC since were both there on the same day. So met him at his hotel everything went smoothly despite we've arranged the meeting on a short notice. GKHSR was fantastic! |
|

|
| Apr 2016 | Mr_Pink_152 | Really great selection of beers, part of Free beer week, far more than I ever expected, each one a beer I haven’t tried and wanted. Well packaged and swift delivery. |
|
| Apr 2016 | CheesedMan | Another splendid trade with my good friend. Yet again, he nails exactly what I want, even though my cellar list sucks. Cheers!!! |
|
| Mar 2016 | GodOfThunder | I was supposed to chauffeur Craig around Florida in exchange for some beers. I welched on my end, deciding to spend a day in the hospital instead. Even though I ruined his trip, Craig still left me some awesome brews! Craig is a great guy, I can’t wait to make it up to him one day. |
|
| Feb 2016 | Homer321 | Did an in person trade with Craig while he was visiting Florida. Super communication and left me with a treasure of great beer. Glad I was able to catch up with him while he was here. Thanks a ton! |
|
| Feb 2016 | markwise | Craig is a great guy to trade with- we did an in-person trade while he was on a day trip into Tampa. I got him a few new ticks and he got me The Kernel IPA, King Henry, and King Henry Reserve. Cheers, Craig! |

|
| May 2015 | Zakoon | I asked Craig if he could bring a bottle to do an IP trade @ CBC 2015, but unfortunately he couldn’t bring any checked-in luggage with him. I don’t know how but Craig managed to get a bottle and gave it to me at CBC without wanting anything in return. Seems like a real stand up guy! |
|
| Mar 2015 | reggiedunlop | Awesome box from Craig...4 wants that I’d probably never have seen without him! Awesome trader and ratebeerian! |
|

|
| Feb 2014 | Homer321 | Had the pleasure of trading with Craig on his family vacation to Orlando. A very smooth and excellent trade and a true pleasure to meet and share a beer with.

|
| Dec 2011 | Unknown | I couldn’t be happier with the international deal I just completed with Craig. He was great with communication on everything and negotiations couldn’t of gone any smoother. Some big beers were sent each way and Craig hooked me up with some awesome extras and even some cool UK pint glasses. His packaging was that of a professional as well. Craig is a top notch trader on every level. |
|
| Nov 2011 | crusianbeer | Nothing more i can really say that hasnt been said. He opened up his home and his beer cellar, not to mention a kaggen... You are a standup guy and a gentleman. thank you for your hospitality, and more importantly, the beer. ;) |
|
| Sep 2011 | NoiZe | Craig is a superb trader. And a very nice guy ;) Shitload of bottles exchanged @ BBF in Bodegraven. |
|

|
| May 2011 | Doodler | Craig sent me a few crazy beers via my buddy Jason while visiting Edinburgh. A Black Rat Stout for my buddy Ratman and a few rare GB brews I was hoping to find again. Craig is one of the good guys....thanks again greatly. Cheers! |
|
| Apr 2011 | badgerben | Terrific trade! Craig and I had been bantering about this trade since October, and after putting up with my many delays, he sends a diaper box packed with Good King Henry Reserve x2, Thornbridge Bracia, Hopshackle Restoration, Brew Dog My Name Is Ingrid, Cairngorm Black Gold, Highland Orkney Porter, and a bonus of Hawkshead Brodie’s Prime. It makes my heart and liver dance! |
|
| Apr 2011 | fonefan | Met in person with Craig & Stella in DK - April 2011: They bring me some nice SCO beers .. BrewDog hard for me to get beers - nice trade! Thanks a lot! |
|
| Apr 2011 | RCL | Yet another ridiculous box! How he fits so many radical beers in such a small, tight-packed package is beyond me. Thanks a million! |
|
| Mar 2011 | Popkas | Craig and I have completed two in person trades in the last 4-5 weeks. Craig is very is easy to work with - including being willing to stop by my hotel to swap beers - and has also been very generous both in our trades and by inviting me to participate in tasting at his home. Highly recommend meeting with Craig if you ever find yourself in Edinburgh! |
|
| Dec 2010 | Doodler | Wow - just finished a trade with Craig and even Santa couldn’t have got this box here faster. He shipped on Friday, here in Denver on Monday...Whaaaat???? Never seen such a thing. Plus a box chock full of crazy fun and rare beers straight off my most wanted list, plus some brand new, never heard of Scottish brews from Highland and Knops Brewing. Cheers and thanks again greatly! |
|
| Jul 2010 | Maltzilla | Craig’s insane. Period. He did a Santa routine with me for this Summer Secret Santa thing and he blew me outta the water. Cookies and a bike? LOL, Try Good King Henry special reserve, 2002 grain cask paradox, mikkeller xbeeriment, etc, etc, etc. Craig, thanks again, you are the man! |
|
| Jun 2010 | cquiroga | Terrific beers, terrific communication. Great all-around experience, and the turnaround/delivery time for an international shipment is amazingly fast (about a week). No problems at all. Highly recommended. |
|
| Jun 2010 | RCL | An absolutely ballin’ box from Craig! Highlights: Kaggen!, De Cam Kriek, and a Bismarck! plus a few super bonuses. Packed super tight and shipped lightning fast. Thanks a million! Anytime you need something from New England, I’ve got you covered. |
|
| Feb 2010 | ygtbsm94 | Met Craig at Dark Lord Day last year and finally put together a trade with him. He sent a huge package full of Old Chimneys Good King Henry Special Reserve and a bottle of Brewdog TNP!! Craig is one helluva generous dude and anyone trading with him will not be disappointed. Thanks my man for your patience and hope to see you again in Edinburgh. "Beer is Good Food" |
|
| Feb 2010 | nimbleprop | I was the lucky recipient of Craig’s infinite generosity. It’s the kind of trade that reaffirms how wonderful the ratebeer community actually is. Craig offered up both a regular Narke Stormakstporter and the Kaggen Stormasktporter for the person who guessed a number between 1 and 300. I guessed my lucky number and won. Craig asked to make the trade a little bigger and included some stuff that |
|
| Sep 2009 | CheesedMan | HOLY SHIT!!!! The box weighed 45 pounds and contained 24 beers, packed brilliantly. Craig delivers again with superb communication, turning into one of my favorite traders. perhaps another one is in the not so distant future? |
|
| Sep 2009 | traPISSED | A big thanks to Craig for taking the plunge and being my first trade. Comunication and packing was excellent. The beer I recieved included Cantillon Blaaber and Girardin Kriek plus a couple of bonuses, one of which was very very generous and extreamly rare ;-) |
|
| Jul 2009 | spacecoyote | Craig hooked it up, indeed, by answering a tall request for 12 bottles of Cairngorm Black Gold (a very delicious and under-appreciated brew). Thanx for a smooth trade, Craig, and thanx for the extra. Packed well and shipped promptly. Cheers. |
|
| Jun 2009 | madmitch76 | Very nice ’local’ trade (if you can call 400 miles local) with Craig. I got some hard to get Brewdogs, A Yummy Figgy Pudding and a Marble Decadence to boot! Craig threw in a very nice freebie of a rare Orkney beer - Swannay - Orkney Porter. Cheers Craig - hope we can meet soon! |
|
| May 2009 | alexsdad06 | When I purchased my tickets for DLD I had no idea where I was staying. I decided to respond to Craig’s FT: my company ISO: a room mate because it sounded like an opportunity to meet a good person that enjoys great beer. This experience far exceeded expectations. Craig was overly generous giving me bottles of Old Chimneys Good King Henry Special Reserve, Orkney Porter, Black Isle Export Oatmeal |
|
| May 2009 | WeeHeavySD | Great second trade with Craig, in person from a far via BBB3 ( thanks Mike) Craig sends Boon Framboise Mariage Parfait! Awesome! |
|
| Apr 2009 | tjthresh | In person at DLD, Craig gave a Westy 12, an Alliance PX, and Mikkeller Sherry Barrel Black as Hell. It was a pleasure, sir. |
|
| Apr 2009 | Ughsmash | Craig rocked it as usual in a little face-to-face trade at Dark Lord Day (and it was a pleasure to meet you, sir!). He hooked me up with Boon Framboise Mariage Parfait and Brewdog Tokyo, and shared about 30 beers that I was stoked to try. Class act all the way! |
|
| Apr 2009 | daknole | Ok so Craig is simply the man. He brings me 4 hard to get Brewdog beers and get this...a Old Chimney Good King Henry reserve . And then he shares his Kaggen. And he orchestrates a sharing of the Bells Bourbon Barrel Double Cream/Expedition stout. Are you serious? WOW. Double wow. Triple wow. CHEERS mate! |
|
| Apr 2009 | GranvilleTim | Made a trade with Craig at DLD 09. Traded a KBS for a Black Isle Export Oatmeal Stout. It was great to meet him in such a crowded, fast paced atmosphere. He was generous with some of his beers he was sampling. I hope you had a great time and will return again. |
|
| Apr 2009 | pantanap | in person trade made with craig at goose island, the day before dlday which yielded an old king henry’s reserve. thanks so much and more so for being able to meet you in person. hope that your visit was a memorable one. |
|
| Apr 2009 | StFun | Awesome time meeting and hanging out with Craig. A Hell of a nice guy. Somewhere in between hanging and drinking, we managed to trade some brews. Craig hooked me up some great stuff: Mikkeller Sherry, Good King Henry Reserve, and Fr. Frederiksen. Oh yeah, and a sample of Kaggan. Simply awesome. Thanks so much my friend! |
|
| Apr 2009 | TheAlum | What started out as a simple 1 for 1 trade for a Paradox 016, turned into a few crazy nights with Craig out and about, sharing beers and meeting a bunch of people. I really appreciate getting to trade with Craig for a Flossmoor bottle in person for an Isle of Arran Paradox. On top of that, I got a sample of the Kaggen. Cheers to a great trader and great guy! |
|
| Feb 2009 | iowaherkeye | Got so many beers from Craig, I’ll sum it up with Good King Henry (both versions), a bunch of EU beers, and a ton of BrewDog. The only problem seems to be with me screwing up stuff on my end. Regardless, he was more understanding. I will make it up to you! Thanks Craig. |
|
| Jan 2009 | AgentSteve | After months of back and forth and a crashed website, Craig and I finally wrap up my first International trade. I received more bottles than I can list, but the highlights were (2) Pannepot Reserve, GKH and GKH Reserve, Brew Dog Tokyo and a bunch more BD’s, and a Beer Geek 1 for 1. Awesome shipment, but one question; every one of these was 11.2 ounces or smaller. Almost every beer I sent w |

|
| Dec 2008 | miketd | This got here in about a week! Craig sends me Mikkekeller One For One, Old Chimneys Good King Henry IS...the regular variety, and a sweet bonus of Old Chimneys Redshank Strong Ale. Craig is a pleasure to deal with and a great guy! Thanks! |
|
| Nov 2008 | beerbill | Craig and I were both pursuing the same beer and we started chatting about it. One thing led to another and a very nice int’l trade developed. Craig sent me an excellent assortment of mostly porters and stouts including a nice variety of beers from Old Chimneys. Craig shipped Monday from Scotland & his box was here on LI on Wed. Amazing! I’ve enjoyed our online chats throughout. Cheers! |

| Oct 2008 | Fin | Our second annual Cropredy Folk Festival trade. Once again I got an excellent selection with 3 Fontein Hommage, Struisse Pannepot and Pannepot GR amongst the twenty or so beers, all excellent and difficult for me to come by. Can’t fault Craig, top man, great trader, I do my best but I’m sure that I always come out on top with our trades, Craigs a top banana. |
