Mar 2020 GlasgowTAD Brandon is really easy to deal with - a proposal was made, a counter offer was submitted, we agreed and we shipped. Can not fault his packaging ability, nor his sense of responsibility that became clear as he checked up on the box as it travelled to me. Would trade with him again!
Oct 2018 martjoobolut Made a trade through proxy with Brandon. Everything went very smoothly. Good and clear communication with fast replies. Everything was well packed and all the beers were as expected. Can't recommend him highly enough, especially for anyone who is thinking about doing an overseas trade!

Jun 2017 jtclockwork Great trade with Brandon. Lots of Transient beers. Very easy trade.
May 2017 Geemsy Brandon was looking for a specific beer from the UK and I was happy to help. We quickly put together a 6 shipper and I was happy to ship first. My beers were sent soon after my package was received and double boxed for the trip to the UK. V. easy to deal with, excellent comms, a v. smooth trade with no fuss. Hopefully the 1st of many trades with someone who is a credit to the craft beer community

Mar 2017 Ed5388 So I won a side contest off of Brandon’s original free beer week 2017 contest. Was only supposed to send one bottle, but sends two instead. A barrel aged beer from Transient Artisan Ales and a New Glarus sour! Super generous package from a super nice guy! Thank you again!! Go Cubs!!
Mar 2017 rennat42 This guy apparently doesn’t know how to be anything less than crazy generous. Won a FBW contest from Brandon and he killed it. Some HUGE wants and a lot of them! Westy 12, Flying Dog Gonzo, Hill Farmstead Twilight of Idols, and so much more. Don’t hesitate to trade with this guy ever. Brandon is one generous dude, and it seemed like he shipped it here practically overnight! Thanks a ton

Jun 2016 VsXsV Brandon saw my rating of a Livery beer and thought that I should try it in better (not infected) condition. He sends me, who lives on the other side of the Atlantic, a small growler and asks for nothing in return. Beyond awesome! Thanks again man.

Feb 2016 phaleslu Brandon saw my rating for a Livery beer and decided I needed to try the beer again in better condition. He sent me a replacement out of the blue, arriving two days after his initial message to me. I’m blown away by such a nice gesture. Cheers, Brandon!
Jan 2016 BVery Brandon is the man! He reached out to me out of the blue to offer to send me a fresh Livery growler he thought my tasting group would enjoy. Didn’t want anything in return. This ultimately turned into a great trade, both of us sending a box of really nice locals each way. Super nice guy, great communication, and stands behind his company’s product. Can’t beat that!

Jul 2015 FooFaa Brandon hit me with a trade offer my Voodoo Black Magick Pappy van Winkle bottle. The offer was generous enough to lure me out of my trade hiatus. I’m glad I did.

I had a wonderful experience trading with Brandon. I couldn’t recommend a
Aug 2014 bytemesis Brandon is an awesome guy. I just mentioned in passing that it would be cool to get a bottle of the new release Livery BA Tripplebock - next thing I know he has one for me, without even discussing what I might return with!
