I believe this was my 2nd trade w/ Brad. Went very smoothly and fast. Sent over a much loved Yellow Bus for a bottle of ’99 Belle Vue Selection Lambic. Monster beers on both sides. Can’t wait to try this gem.
First trade with Brad and hopefully more in the future. Quick trade with him for Firestone Walker 11. There was also a Westy 12 in the box which I can only assume has been re-filled with homebrew or was used as packing material for two reasons: 1. we agreed no extras and 2. no one in the their right mind bonuses a Westy 12. Maybe he’s just insane?
I got extremely lucky. My first beer trade was with Brad. I offered to ship first, but he just went ahead and sent. I got my package (which was bombproof by the way) within 48 hours of giving him my address. Great trader! Looking forward to our next trade :)
Traded with Brad, came upon an agreement quickly and he traded quick as I slacked a little bit =p but great guy, great trader, definitely would trade again.
I just had the pleasure of completing my first trade with Brad, and I hope there’s more to come. I traded Brad a SA Utopias with a couple of local extras for a giant box of goodies, including a Darklord, Westy 12, Abyss, and the list goes on and on. An agreement was quick and easy, and the box was in my hands within a week or so. Brad’s a great trader.
In quite possibly the easiest trade ever Brade sent me a Cantillon Crianza Helena. Then he goes and sends a Westy 12 as a bonus! ARE YOU F*&^ing kidding me? What a great trader!
I’m fairly new to this, but I was lucky enough to trade with Brad in one of my first trades. He was VERY easy to communicate with and VERY generous. I’m looking forward to more trades soon!
Great communication, shipping was prompt and well packed. Despite requesting no extras he proceeds to send a bonus Westy 12 anyway. Brad is a knowledgable, friendly trader that is highly recommeded. Thanks!
Another great trade with Brad. He hooked me up with a Surly Darkness, Dogfish Sahtea. He also bonused me a Smuttynose Imperial Stout and a New Glarus Black Wheat. What a cool dude to trade with. Always a pleasure.
Brad is one of the craziest trader in the scene and one hell of a beer geek. We traded some Belle-Vue Gueuze Vintage 1988 for Dark Lord and Uplands. Many thanks for the great deal and looking forward to meet you again!!!
There is nothing like trading with brad. Just a great beer loving guy who loves spreading the wealth. This is now our third trade and there has never been any problems and each time we trade, he ships that day and I have another great beer in my hands the next day! Simply put, he is one of the best out there
In exchange for me sending down some beers he purchased and two others, Brad ships me an 09 Cantillon Blåbær Lambik, Westy 12 x2 and a Bullfrog Frambozen! Thanks again, dude!
ygtbsm... Brad sends a ridiculous box that was worth well more than what I was sending already ($ and rarity), asks that I include no bonuses, and then proceeds to bonus me an Abyss ’08. I can’t express enough how awesome this guy is. Generous to a fault.
Just finished a trade with brad.Watch out he’s sneaky He told me not to send extras then put one in the box he sent me. Seriously though, he is a stand up guy. I know for a fact he is one of the most generous traders out there.
Another retarded box from Brad. Beers I never think I’ll see somehow make it here from this guy. He will make it worth your while to trade with him so do it.
Top-notch communication, top-notch beers, and a top-notch trade all-around. After some deliberation and several months of planning, Brad and I finally wrapped up a monster trade-- we each sent a mixed case of some of the best stuff around. Good times. I would NOT want to see this guy’s FedEx bill.
I just received my end of another quick and easy trade from Brad, blowing me away with the extra he included. You won’t regret trading with this fine gentleman of beer
Brad is an awesome dude. I’ve traded with him a couple times now and have even met him in person at Captain Lawrence events. He is always overly generous- most recently he has hooked me up with some Westvleteren Crates for a carpentry project.
Brad is a great trader. Everything about our trade was streamline from communication to speed in shipping. A great person to deal with and highly recommended
Brad does it again. Sends a really hard to find glass my way and bonuses me a Westy 12. This guy is THE class act of RB. Cheers to another amazing trade!
Brad is the man. I asked for a specific beer I needed for a tasting and he delivered! He also sent an extra of my favorite beer, Westy 12! Thanks dude, return on the way.
No doubt the fastest trade ever! Fantastic packaging job and quick turnaround. Brad sent me several three year old Westy 12’s for a few BFM Trousseau Barrels. Hope to make another trade in the near future. Cheers!
Brad is a super nice guy; very generous indeed. I have completed two in person trades with him to date. Both time he has the hook up to some of the best and most rare beers out there. Always a great guy to talk to. I wish there would be some way to re-pay him for all the great things he has done. He is a great trader, feel no hesitation. Always so kind to throw in ridiculous extras for all re
Brad sends a truckload of beer to Montreal. Too many to list here. A bunch of westys, JP Biere de Mars Grand Reserve, Struise Earthmonk, Castleton Batch 3, De Molen Tsarina Esra, many more. Incredible, simply incredible, probably ratebeer’s most insane trader!!!
This was my second trade with Brad. What an awesome guy to trade with. When I got the large box, I opened it with DuffmanSW. The excitement was like Christmas, only better. Brad agreed to send me Mikkeller Brunch Wiesel, Bells Expedition Stout, Cigar City 110K+OT and a Westy 12. He went far beyond that and bonused me the following: Terrapin Side Project Monks Revenge, Southern Tier Unearthly, Wyer
Brad sent me a highly sought after bottle for a tasting I threw awhile back. His generosity is incredible, as all of his trade ratings indicate. Thanks so much, Brad!
Brad hooked me up with way more beer than I could have ever hoped for. I asked for either a Hair of the Dog Matt or a Midnight Sun Berserker. He hooked me up with BOTH!! The generosity didn’t stop there. As extras, he threw in a Full Sail 21st Anniversary Doppelbock, Ballast Point Sea Monster, Laughing Dog The Dogfather, and a Westy 12. Huge Thanks!!!
I just received another retardedly incredible selection from brad including Dark Horizon 1, CDC3, Westy 12, DFH 120, Peche Mortal, Derniere Volonte, Surly Furious and Clipper City Big DIPA!! Wow! (strum finger across lips to make silly sound)
Brad lives up to his reputation. Great packaging, speedy delivery, awesome extras (a Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock, which was a huge want for me) along with the agreed upon Ballast Point Victory at Sea, Pisgah Vortex II, and a Cuvee de Castleton batch 3. Thanks a lot Brad. We’ll be doing this again.
Brad sent me a nice, tidy, well-packed box with four beers I’ve been wanting to try out: Laughing Dog Dogzilla, Otter Creek Imperial IPA, Midnight Sun Berserker and Midnight Sun Oak Aged Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter. He bonused me a Westy 12, which was pretty darned generous. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering all his positive trade feedback. Thanks a ton, Brad.
Brad very generously sent a couple of retired brews from 3 Fontenien, and as if this wasn’t enough, he tosses in FOUR bonus bottles including a Pannepot Grand Reserva and Tsjeeses, Arcadia Hop Mouth and Weyerbacher Double Simcoe. Great comm’s and bomb proof packing. Stunning second trade with Brad, WOW ! ! ! ! " Good beer is food from the Gods! " Thanks again&
Great box from Brad...I get Earthmonk, De Molen Rasputin, Westy 12 and a Pannepot Grand Reserva...and extras of De Dolle Reserva 06 and Weyerbacher Hops Infusion...Can’t wait to get into these, Thanks Man!
1 for 1 trade with Brad that went incredible smooth. Great communication and packaged extremely well. Brad lived up to his reputation as a trader. Thinking I would get a few local bonus beers, I was astonished to see what he threw in as bonus beer, Black Albert being one of the five. I will trade with Brad any day and twice on Sunday. Thanks again my friend!!!
A rockin trade with one of the sites best here. Brad asked me for a BFM Grand Cru Cab barrel and in exchange sent some things I never thought I’d see. Pannepot Reserva, Midnight Sun Oak Aged Pumpkin, Captain SFTO Wine, and a Westy 12. Well selected bonuses of Surly Cynicale and Weyerebacher Rasp. Stout. Thanks Brad!
In our second trade Brad hooked me up with a bottle of 50x4 from Cantillon and extras me a Westy.
Seriously, Brad is probably the most generous guy on the site.
Hopefully we can share a beer in person soon!
Brad is the MAN! Just got back from vacation and found the FedEX box sitting on my table. I sent him The Bruery Papier, two Hangar 24 Orange wheats, and Dale Bros Dude of York. In return he sent an 08 Dark Lord, Mikellar Black Hole, Westy 12, Dark Horizon 1st edition, and Peche Mortel. Wow what an awesome guy, I kinda feel like I owe him big time. Looking forward to another great trade. Thank
One hell of a trade to say the least. Brad sent me a HOTD Matt, Sinners Blend 08’, Blabaer, BA speedway stout 07’, BA Decadence 07’, Hommage, Sexual Chocolate 09’, and he sent a black albert and a maui coconut porter as extras. Wow simply wow. Thanks again Brad for an awesome trade.
Brad hooked me up with all sorts of good stuff. Surly Darkness, Barrel Aged Decadence, Rosso e Marone and 10 more. Nice and easy. Good communication. Awesome.
Holy Mother Mary Of God! Brad accepted my trade request for some Earthmonk bottles. He sent the earthmonk in a very creatively packed box. Not only did I get the monk but for extras he sent Black Albert, Westy 12, Mikkeller Black Hole, and 06 Pannepot! Are you kidding me! Holy shit! Brad stand by for round two as I have lots of making up to do!

Big time thanks to Brad. He was able to hook me up with J&J Blauw and then bonused me a Westy 12. Definitely one of the better extras I’ve ever gotten. Brad is extremely generous and very easy to talk with. Communication was great, shipping was extremely fast(Fedex had it within an hour of our agreement), and definitely one of the best packaged boxes I’ve gotten. Trade with this man&#

Brad hooked me up with a hommage at DLD. He also shared at least 10 awesome beers with me over DLD weekend. Probably the most generous guy I have met on this site. He will definitely go out of his way to spread good beer around. Hope we can trade and meet again in the future.
Brad hooked me up with the agreed upon 3 Fonteinen Hommage, Cantillon 50ºN-4ºE, and Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs along with killer extras of Ballast Point Dorado Double IPA and Westy 12. All after requesting that I include no bonuses in his box. Excellent packing from a generous trader!

Very generous, everything you would want in a trading partner and more!
I’m in shock. Westy 8. Westy 12. Earthmonk. Pannept Grand Reserva ’05. Rodenback Vin de Cereale. This wasn’t a fair trade, I must owe you another box. This man is incredibly generous and I am very grateful.
Brad is the man! In a perfectly communicated trade Brad sent me a 50 N-4 E and a DeCam Oude Kriek! Then the trade master sent two extras! A Pannepot and a Aardmonnik-Earthmonk. I about S*** my pants when I saw the extras! Thanks a bunch Brad!

Another amazing trade with Brad. I’ve done this a number of times now and I’ve yet to manage to send him anything to match the wonders that he sends my way. This time, 6x Westy 12 + Pannepot Reserva 750+Fantome Dalmatienne+bonus Upland Strawberry Lambic. Oh, did I mention that it was perfectly packaged and arrived within days of agreeing on the trade? I’m simply not worthy.
Received my box from brad today (my first trade!) Box was packed tight, I opened it and found the agreed upon Westy 12’s and Speedway Stout and to my surprise he bonused me a Pannepot Reserva!!! Thanks for my first trade Brad! Can’t wait to trade with you again.

Brad made me an offer I could not refuse...one of my all time favorites, J&J Blauw and then also gives me a Tsjeeses Reserva! Thanks Brad, and I wish I was heading up North to help you with that trunk load of beer!
All I can say Is Brad is AWESOME. We did a face to face trade at this years Sexual Chocolate release and he traded me one of my all time holy grails, the J&J Roze and then threw in a Rodenbach Vin De Céréale, are you kidding me, how awesome is that. He then preceded to pop some fine bottles with me in line and all-in-all he is one of the most generous guys I have met. Can’t wait to do another trad

Brad sent along a Belle Vue Selection Lambic 99 along with an assortment of other brews, and two bonus beers as well. Quick turn around, and excellent packaging.
A most generous batch of beers from Rad Brad the Cellar Cad. In exchange for some Belgians he hooked me up with a motley assortment of truly great, hard-to-get US craft brew. Thanks again, dude!
Brad comes through once again with an epic trade. I got the Struise Tsjeeses Reserva 75cl, a bottle I’ve really been looking for, Cantillon 50N 40E, and Bush Noel Premium 75cl. I’ll say it again - Brad is an Epic trader. Quick shipping and amazing packing as always. Thanks, Brad!

Brad sent me down 6 Westy 12s (4-’08 & 2-’06), and the crate in which they came - sweet. I’ve wanted...no, needed...one of those crates forever. And as a very cool bonus, he even tossed in a Struise Black Albert. Thanks again for the great trade, Brad.
What is this - our third round of trading? An another unbelievable box from Brad. Check it: 3F Rose, Struise Tjeeses and Black Albert, Rodenbach Vin de Cereale, Westy 8. All packed better than anything I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait for round 4! Any time, Brad.
I asked Brad if he could send me one of the highest rated and elusive brews on RB. What is his response? "When do you need the brew"? So I guess technically he asked a question, but delivered this gem in prompt fashion! Thanks to a good friend and generous trader!!!
Actually the package was sent in April but got lost in the post. Retards! But Brad corrected their failure and sent me all kinds of lovely stuff from Great Lakes and more. Thanks man!
In an unbelievably well wrapped and bomb-proof package, Brad sent me a 3 Fonteinen Hommage, and bonused me a Bells Bourbon-Barrel Aged Cherry Stout and a Pannepot Grand Reserva 2005!!! Arrived the next day! Really awesome stuff, extremely fast and well packed, a truly awesome trader! Thanks Brad!
1 - Duvel Tripel Hop, 2 - Surly Furious, 1 - Stone Double Bastard, 1 - Westvleteren 12 (as an extra! WOW!)
Packaging was stellar, I mean these bottles were completely impervious to any kind of turbulence. Brad helped me find a beer others have characterized as a "unicorn" and one that I’ve been wanting quite a bit (DTH). And a Westy 12 as an extra? Sweet!
My first trade was made really easy by a super generous guy. The box arrived in two days, and could have survived a nuclear bomb. Amazing packing job. Brad sent the agreed-upon Westy 12 (2) and Westy 8, and he bonused a Westy Blonde and Pannepot Grand Reserva. My first thought when I opened the PGR was "who the hell throws this in as a bonus?" Awesome guy, quick communication, a ple
In two separate deliveries (one in person, one sent) Brad delivers a plethora of Belgian goodies: Black Alberts, Pannepot Grand Reserves, Earthmonk, Westy 12, 8 and Blond, De Cam’s, Hommage, Cantillon’s and much more. Brad has got to be one of the most generous people on the site. He didn’t hesitate to share some amazing rare brews when we met. Thanks again Brad, you rock!!!!
By far the best packaging job I have ever seen, it took me 20 minute to open six bottles. Brad hooked me up with the agreed upon Westy 12, 8, blonde, and Pannepot Grand reserva. He also threw in some awesome extras, a still nacht 2005 and a pannepot 2006. Thanks Brad for the awesome brews! Super fast shipping as well. My box arrived in less then 24 hours.
I wish I could give Brad a 20/20 for this trade.
We swapped rarities. Both J&J’s for a few things from my cellar. And he extras me a Black Albert, Westy 12 and 8, and Pannepot Grand Reserva 2005.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Insanity.
Well, now I have to find a way to outdo him. By the way, everything was superbly packed.
Brad sent what we agreed upon, and so much more. We agreed on a Black Albert and a Pannepot Reserva. But, I also got extras of a Westy 12, a second Black Albert, and both versions of Pannepot!!!! This is a crazy, over the top, super generous guy. And the box was packed great, and seemed to take forever to get unpacked. I think he’ll be getting another box from me just to make up for this kind
Westy’s up the waz. Pounds of Pannepot. Strands of Struisse. A smidgen of ’t smisje. A dask of Esra and a kip of Kaggen. Great communication. The pack was packed well enough to be dragged here from Europe. Thanks again Brad.
Brad introduced me to Aardmonnik in his last shipment, and I fell in love. This became my new #2 beer and Brad came through big time with four more bottles for me!!!!! In addition, he fulfilled my desire to try the De Cam Oude Kriek and Oude Gueze, and threw in a ridiculously-amazing extra: Oerbeer Special Reserva ’06! All in bomb-proof packaging, lightning fast shipping. Thanks Brad!
Fast communitation, delivery and hardcore packing. It will take some time to open a shipment from Brad. :-)
3 Bells Expedition Stout
3 Stone Smoked Porter
3 Stone Imperial Stout
Brad sent a super-professionally packaged box of 3 Westy 12s (’06, ’07, and ’08 nontheless!), 2 Westy 8s, and 1 Westy 6. I didn’t send him anything in return, except some bubble wrap and packaging labels.
Probably the quickest trade ever. Send me Duvel Tripel Hop, Fantome Hiver, La Face Cachée de la Pomme Frimas Ice Cider, Rodenbach Vin de Céréale and Hoppin Frog BORIS The Crusher. Wonderful! And on top of that a bonus Westy 12. Yummy!
Second trade with Brad and I couldn’t be happier! 3 Pannepot Oak Aged Grand Reservas, 1 Pannepot 06 and one Pannepøt 06. Damn. Excellent communication, packaging and uber speedy shipping. Thanks a ton Brad!
Amazing trade. Here’s the facts: (1) Great communication (2) Best-packed box I’ve ever received. (3) Made international trade logistics easy. (4) He sent me two bottles of ultra-rare ultra-desired Pannepot Grand Reserva x2, a Struise Aardmonk, and also two Westy 12s, (5) Brad tossed in sick bonuses of Pannepot and Westy 8. Thank you so much, Brad!
Brad sent the agreed upon beers; 3-Guinness Special Export (Belgian version), 2-De Dolle Oeral and a Westy 8. All packed up amazingly. And, somehow he must have a teleporter along with one of the greatest cellars, since it arrived so quickly. One of RB’s best traders for sure. Thanks!
Like a flash, Brad shipped a well-packed box of excellent beer from Belgium to Florida! Inside was a true bounty of funky, freaky, sour brews from abroad: 2 Rodenbach Vin de Céréale, 1 De Cam Oude Geuze, 1 3 Fonteinen Doesjel, 1 Dekoninck Gueze, 1 Dekoninck Kriek, 1 Chapeau Cuvee, 1 Mort Subite Oude Gueuze, 1 Westy 8 and 2 bonus beers: 1 Vicardin Tripel Gueuze and 1 t Smisje Speciale.

More good stuff from across the pond sent by Brad! This time he included Cantillion Blåbær Lambik, Cantillon 50ºN-4ºE and a bunch of stuff from DeCam! Great packaging from a great and generous guy.
See ya soon man!
So a simple Darkness trade grew into quite a bit more...Brad sent me a huge nicely packaged box from across the pond: Pannepot Reserva and Earthmonk, 3 Fonteinen Hommage, Rodenbach Vin De Céréale, a early 90’s Oerbier and Stille Nacht plus a 2007 Stille Nacht and a 3x7 21 jong. He threw in a Hercule Stout, Melchior, Pére Nöel, and an Affligem Christmas. A seriously generous guy!
Sent out a call for some Westy. ygtbsm94 answered. Sent me 6 Westy 8’s and 6 Westy 12’s. I was just hoping to try one of each! I had the box in less than a week from when we started talking all the way from Belgium. He also threw in a Pannepot (the other version) and guinness special export stout (haven’t tried either). Brad is amazing. I am left speechless. Thanks so much!
Brad delivered, from overseas, in absolute record time. The box was full of 6 bottles of Westvleteren 8 and 6 bottles of Westvleteren 12. Perfect packaging. Outstanding communication. Oh yeah... there was also a bottle of Narke Kaggen tucked in there as well. Almost forgot about that one. Cheers!
Thanks a ton Brad! Outstanding trader!
Another box of great beers from Brad!!! Brad sent some Decam products along with 3F, Alvinne and many others. Shipped in a 12 pack styro shipper. Brad is an awesome guy and a great trader! Thanks Brad!!!
Brad is the Man...like that needed to be said! I received a pefectly packaged styro shipper this afternoon from the land of beer and chocolate. Many fine beers, and a great trading partner make this stuff easy. Thanks Brad...more brew will be out to you shortly! Thanks!!!
& that is what I got lots of. Straight from Belgium, in a bomb proof packaged box I was sent 3F J&J Blauw, Roze, Doesjel and Hommage, De Cam Oude Gueuze and Kriek. Plus extras of Chapeau Cuvée, Stille Nacht 2006 & De Ranke Père Noël. What an awesome trade that was lighting fast, despite being from overseas.
Second time meeting Brad in Brussels was even better than the first. Not only did he trade me some super rare gems, but he shared many as well ! Brad also took the time to take me to great beer shops, bars and breweries that would have been near impossible to find otherwise. Great guy and trader! I’m hoping to get back to Belgium soon.
Thanks Brad!!!
What a ridiculously tasty box: 3F Blauw (!), Westy 12, De Cam Oude Geuze, Guiness Belgian Special Export, 3F Doesjel, 3F Oude Geuze Vintage, and 3 kick-ass extras: Westy 8, Pannepot, and Alvinne Gaspar. So many great beers, and such a pleasure trading with Brad: textbook packaging, quick shipment, and just a generous, friendly guy. Thanks again, Brad!
WOW!!! Brad hooked this box up big time. 3 Fontinenen: Blauw, Hommage, Oude Gueze Vintage and Doesjel, De Cam: Oude Kreik, Oude Gueze and Oude Lambiek, Earthmonk. Plus bonuses of Westy 8 and 12, Pannepot and De Dolle Oerbier Special Reserva 2006. Packaging was solid enough to survive a full frontal assault. Awesome trader, already trying to get another trade going!!!
A long term tradein person trade that was botched then recovered at the last minute, Brad certainly came through. 750s of Pannepot Reserva and Aardmonik, two Westy 12s, and then he brought me extras of Pannepøt, Oerbier SR 2006 and 3F Gueze 2003 -- which has already been drank. Everything went down smoothly. Thanks!
Brad sent me some excellent Belgium brews in my first international trade (that I still have yet to ship out on, will really soon promise) Anyways the amazing package included Two 75cl 3 Fonteinen Hommage, a 3 Fonteinen Oude Gueuze Vintage 04, a Aardmonnik/Earthmonk, a De Cam Oude Gueuze
De Cam Oude Kriek and a westy 12 as an extra!
Brad sent Three 3 Fonteinen Hommage, Lindemans Kriek Cuvée René, Mort Subite Oude Kriek, Struise Pannepot Oak-aged Reserva, De Cam Oude Gueuze and threw in 3 Fonteinen Doesjel, Westy 12, De Dolle Bos Keun, and Guiness Special Export as bonuses! Excellent trade! Good communication! I hope to trade with Brad again soon.
A bombproof package of Westvleteren 8/12/blond, Guiness Special Export John Martin and Pisgah Vortex II (I DO know this isn’t belgian ;-). Each bottle, invidually wrapped, would survive a bomb but the entire package would withstand a nuclear holocaust. Easy to deal with and had patience for all of my troubles....my package to him was returned to to me TWICE! Damn I HATE the USPS.
and thats what Brad hooked me up with, stuff I cant get here and threw in 2 extras to boot. Very quick delivery, great box - a box in a box with styrofoam sides and a lot of heavy duty bubble wrap. Would love to trade again.
...with his generosity! Sent the agreed upon 3 Fonteinen Hommage X 3, Pannepot Reserva X 2, Belle Vue Selection Lambic, and bonuses of Westvleteren 12 and De Ranke Pere Noel. Awesome trader, awesome trade! Thanks so much for your generosity and an amazing turnaround time. Packed well, super friendly guy. Everything was great!
Had the pleasure of meeting Brad in Brussels, and was able to get some awesome beers! Was hooked up with Westy 12 and 8(multiples), DeCam Kriek and Earthmonk. Brad was also willing to share some super rare beers without blinking an eye. Very generous guy.
Look forward to our next trade!
