|

|

|

|
| Jan 2011 | kmweaver | Mike sent along a huge box from Colorado: Boulevard Tank 7 and Dark Truth, Fort Collins Double Chocolate + +, Fred From the Wood 2009, Oak Aged Yeti, etc. etc. 30+ lbs. of tasty beer. Thanks, Mike! |
|
| Jan 2011 | kramer | Sent Mike a bunch of Bullfrog beers over a period of a few months, got nothing in return but a few empty promises and a 9 month old tracking number that was useless. Two years later I’m still waiting for a box while he doesn’t respond to beermails. Disappointing in many ways. Update 7/27/11: received beers in the end after all. Thanks for making good Mike. |
|
| Oct 2010 | mikey711 | just finished a great trade with mj including some major rarities and some sweet Ska brews as extras. Mj was great to deal with and I would not hesitate to trade with him again in the future |
|
| Feb 2010 | lushawn | Sick box from mj. In addition to agreed upon beer, he threw in a boatload of awesome want list/ highly desired but not on want list/ never heard of but looks awesome beers. Lopsided trade. i owe mike beer. |
|
| Dec 2009 | kmweaver | Mike sent along a special little Oregon something-something and bonused a bottle of Avery’s Sui Generis (as well as bottles he’d been holding for me from Lost Abbey). Thanks! |
|
| Oct 2009 | Papsoe | Two boxes of sheer beery goodness from Colorado and PNW - all great stuff. Hope we’ll be able to share a few again one day Mike. Thanks for the trade. |
|
| Sep 2009 | DaSilky1 | MJ Is a class A Trader, let me tell you. He hooked me up with some HOTD Cherry Adams, HOTD Matt, a 3 Fonteinen Hommage, and threw in a couple extras like HOTD Fred from the Wood and Otto’s Jolly Roger, not to mention the naked picture of himself I found at the very bottom of the box...that’s going to get the most usage out of everything he sent me. Definitely recommended! |
|
| Jun 2009 | thebaldwizard | Mike sent me some beer, and it was good. |
|
| Jun 2009 | MrBunn | mj delivered some sweet stuff I’d been wanting for a long time. Alaskan stuff and some limited Allagash! Woo hoo! Shipping was smooth and packaging was very well done. Thanks, Mike! |
|
| Jun 2009 | lampeno420 | After a little confusion (we’re both in and out of town) i got my badass box of Californian goodness. 2 fresh blind pigs and a pliney the elder, a Red Barn and a few great looking bonuses. The box that this came in was awesome, sleeves for every bottle and wrapped tight. Trade with mj, even if you just need the packing supplies ;) Great trade. |
|
| Jun 2009 | MrChopin | Mike sent the agreed on HORAL and then threw in a Mirror Mirror and a HotD Adam. All packed securely using a stryo. Easy trade with very fast communication. Thanks again Mike! |

|
| May 2009 | MrBendo | Mike send me 2 HOTD Cherry Adams, a New Belgium Lips of Faith Kriek and La Folie, a BridgePort Raven Mad Imperial Porter and an Abyss. I guess when you don’t work out all the details on a trade, he just goes a little crazy. |
|

| Jan 2009 | ygtbsm94 | Mike sent a bottle of BA Ruffian in a flash. Met Mike last year in Belgium at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation; what a generous dude bringing many brews to share. If you need some brew to trade for Mike is the man you can trust. Thanks again for the awesome brew. “Beer is Good Food” |
|
| Dec 2008 | TURDFERGUSON | Upon my request several months back, Mike sends me a bottle of HOTD Cherry Adam FTW and also throws in a bomber of Dogzilla Black IPA. What a guy! Mike is a class act and one of the coolest guys I’ve met on the site. Thanks Mike! |
|
| Dec 2008 | NachlamSie | I received a well packed box in an easy and efficient trade. Included were the agreed upon 3- Fort Collins Dopplebock, 1 - Bristol Winter oatmeal Stout, and as a bonus, 1 can of Ten Fidy (I always love to get this stuff) and 1 - Deschutes Inversion IPA. I feel bad I could not fit more beers into my box. |
|
| Dec 2008 | hannont | Met Mike and the HOTD dock sale and agreed to send him a MS Berserker and Alaskan Baltic Porter and he sends me the following beers from Colorado...BA Old Ruffian, Ten Fidy x2, Fort Collins Doppelbock, Bristols Winter Warlock and Old No. 23...very, very generous. Thanks a ton Mike! |
|

|
| Dec 2008 | jercraigs | 2 Pliny, Blind Pig, and a St Arnold. This was all about getting the Pliny the Elder and I appreciate him hooking me up with a beer that has been high on my want list for a long time. Excellent trader, good communication even when RB was down for a bit. Cheers! |
|
| Dec 2008 | daknole | So Mike agrees to trade me a coveted HOTD Cherry Adam from the Wood. And then he bonuses me a Dissident and a Port Santas Little Helper. Amazing packing, amazing communication. Perfect trade all the way around!! |

|
| Oct 2008 | OldMrCrow | Our second great trade. After one of those minor shipping delays that comes up every now and then, Mike somehow thought it necessary to go over the top with a bunch of extras to "make up for it". Nothing to make up for, Mike, but I sure will enjoy those extra CO barleywines etc that you sent me. Oh...and I’m still tasting that RR blind pig sampled this evening. Awesome trade. |
|
| Oct 2008 | hopdog | Mike sent me ; Odell Woodcut Oak Aged Ale No. 01, Odell Extra Special Red Ale, and Deschutes The Dissident. 2 of the 3 extras to boot! |
|
| Sep 2008 | machfive55 | Well, I forget what the original trade terms were, I think I requested a few Avery beers. Regardless, acrdz sent the wrong box and apologized, but it was something better than the original trade...RR Blind Pig, 23 Barleywine and XXX Warlock. OK, I’ll take it. Unfortunately, someone is getting the short end of this one. Hey man, Troeg’s Scratch #14 comes out Sept 30! |
|
