Ben sent me a killer box for a sorta open ended trade we had going. He drops a 12 pack styro shipper full of unticked beers that I was looking for, a big want, and an even bigger whale that I didn’t ever think I would get. Ben knocked it out of the park again!

Did a local swap and Ben was my shipper. Let’s just say he far exceed the $25 limit. Simply an amazing box of New Glarus, Central Waters, and some exotic locals that I cannot wait to try. Very generous trader and I hope to repay the favor!

Ben sent to me in the locals 5 1/2 swap. He sent me a beer of my wants and a number of new ticks including a 2L growler. Everything was well packaged in a cardboard bottle shipper and Ben maintained consistent contact throughout the swap. I hope we can set up a trade in the future.

Ben was timely, informal, communicative, and an all around pleasure to trade with. He packed very well. Everything was bubble-wrapped and in Styrofoam shippers. He even thought to throw in some uncooked pasta for some sound deception. I am very pleased with the trade. He threw in some amazing extras. He read my mind with one of them, as I was just about to put it on my Wants list this week
