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?
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 ;-)
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.
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!
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
Craig proved to be one helluva Santa Claus, sending me a haul of awesome beers. Paradox Batch 16, BrewDog Tokyo, Dark Star Imperial Stout, Duvel Triple Hop, 1488 Whisky Ale, BrewDog Bad Pix, Chaos Theory and Zeitgeist, plus a hand bottle of Cauld Reekie!!! Packaging was top notch. Awesome box from an awesome trader.
In a combined trade between cgarvieuk, stine, and myself Craig delivered with a massive shipment of overseas gems including several Good King henry reserves, a bunch of brew dog beers, and several beers to satisfy my lust for sours. Thanks again Craig!
My first international trade. Super simple. Craig was looking for a IH oak aged tom and he hooked me up with a Good King Henry Special Reserve 2006 and a brewdog tokyo. Fast shipping and easy to work with. Thanks craig.
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!
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!
Craig sent me a wonderfully packaged box from Scotland containing an Old Chimney Good King Henry & Good King Henry Special Reserve. Constant communication, instant shipping and great turnaround time. A great trader. Thanks again!
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.
Craig did collect some very nice beers for me to bring home from Sheffield.
Otley O8 - Colonsay Lager - BrewDog Paradox Islay (Batch 008) - BrewDog Tokyo - Black Isle Golden Eye - Fallen Angel Kama Sumatra - Nynäshamns 101 Oktan Imperial Stout
Good communication, thanks again.
Craig felt that he got the better end of a trade we had a few weeks ago and out of the blue sends me a bunch of extra beers via a trade I had going with Ughsmash (Jason). Many thanks for this unexpected act of kindness. Craig is a very generous guy and hope to trade with him again.
Craig Rocks in our first trade. 2 Old King Henry Reserves, 1 reg old king henry, Bass 1 and P2, Marble Decadence, Mort Subite Oude Gueze and traquir 900, super fast shipping from one side of the globe to the other, and great packaging and communication throughout.
Craig agreed to participate in my crazy British trade and give a Bass no.1 and no.2 to my friend for a few beers, then he threw in a Pannepot Grand Reserva and a Westy 8,12 and another Guinness FES! Wow! Easy communication and great beers. Thanks a ton man, I can’t wait to have a pint with you someday.
Craig is the man! I received an amazing duo of beers today - Old Chimneys Good King Henry Special Reserve 2005 and a Bass No 1 25cl handbottle! Craig is a great guy and trader, with excellent communication, packaging and super fast delivery. Thanks again Craig, I really appreciate it and can’t wait to try both!
Craig went out of his way to send some incredible beers: Närke Kaggen Stormaktsporter, Old Chimneys Good King Henry Special Reserve, Bass P2,
Bass No 1, BrewDog Paradox Grain (Batch 002), BrewDog Paradox Grain (Batch 007), Traquair 900, BrewDog Paradox Islay Cask (Batch 001), BrewDog Paradox Speyside (Batch 001), Nigerian Guinness, Hogs Back A Over T (Aromas Over Tongham), and Darkstar. Great c

Reserve, Black Rat, Amber Porter, Dark Star Impy, Kl. Duimpje H. Porter. Great fun and conversation during the preparation, Craig is a highly recommend trader, generous and super fast, only 1 day shipping!!!
Just like last time, Craig had a lovely box of brew to me in 2 days.. from Scotland! Without even ironing out my side of the bargain! Included were Struise Rosse, Traquair 900, Brewdog Riptide, Guinness FES, Dark Star Imperial Stout, HB Tokyo Black, and a couple other world-beaters!! Superb packaging, and you won’t find a nicer guy to chat with!
Craig sent a monster box. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (Nigerian), Thomas Hardy’s 06, Traquair 900, Marble Decadence, BrewDod Paradox 001, 005, and 008, Good King Henry Special Reserve, and Narke Kaggen Stormakts Porter 2006. Double boxed, bubble wrap, peanuts, and bagged up. Easy to communicate with. Outstanding all around. Thanks, Craig.
Craig got an awesome box of beer to me in 2 business days! from Scotland! in the morning! The perfectly-packaged box contained a couple gems from Milton, 3 different Paradoxes (1, 2, and 7), a Nigerian Guinness, Marble Decadence, and a bad-ass bottle of Dark Island Reserve! Top-notch communications and experience all-around! And this is part 1 of 2.. does it get any better??
Craig shipped me some truely amazing brews. 3 Paradox(2,5,7 i think) 2 westy 12s! I love these things. 1 Old Chimneys, an extra that I cant think of right now. And most importantly a bottle of Narke Kaggen! All extremely well packaged, and delivered in like 3 days!
Well, I am the lucky recipient of a box of Scottish and English goodness. In his first trade, Craig ships like a pro. Bottles double bagged and bubble wrapped and then double boxed, great packing. The beers? How about Old Chimneys Good King Henry Special Reserve, Old Chimneys Black Rat Stout, Marble Decadence, Traquair 900, BrewDog Rip Tide, Paradox Batches 1, 5, 7 and 9. Stellar job!!!
Just for fun I added a comment in the forums, asking if someone visiting GBBF would be interested in getting me a bottle of Kaggen. cgarvieuk responded immediately, and we set up a trade. He even sent first! Big thanks! Hope to share a few with you some day. Also thanks to Sigmund, who brought the bottle back from Scotland to me. You guys rock!
