Ben knows how to pack a perfect box- arrived safely with tight packaging and no glugging. Sent me RR Temptation, North Coast Barrel Aged Old Raspy X, and Midnight Sun Berserker. Added a Southern Tier Jah-va, Elysian Dragonstooth Stout, and Iron Horse Brass Ass Brown Ale. He even sent it out before receiving mine even though I was a beginning trader. Thanks, Ben- awesome trade!
Ben picked up a bunch of HOTD beers for me: Michael, Cherry Adam 2008 and 2009, FFtW 2009, and tossed in a Harmon’s C-Bay IPA, Dick’s Grand Cru, and a homebrew Russian Lullaby. Awesome box, excellent trader, fine gentleman. Thanks, Ben!
Had a great trading experience with Ben. Was able to finally get my Matt, and he threw in 3 extras as well (including a home brew)! Great communication and quickly shipped.
Worked out an awesome trade with Ben for a Black Butte XXI and HOTD Fred & Doggie Claws...but wait, what does he throw in as bonuses? HOTD Adam (WL!) and HOTD Cherry Adam From the Wood (WL!). Amazing trader, awesome communication, perfectly packed box! Too bad one of the bonus bombers I sent him broke...guess I’ll have to trade with him again, haha. Sweet!
I have been wanting to do a trade with Ben for awhile now and man am I glad I did. He sent me one of my all time favorite brews at BA Leviathan and 3 brews from Dicks Brewing(RIP Dick). Many thanks Ben! CHEERS!!!
