We should feel fortunate. Trade with him if possible, |

|
| May 2008 | nimbleprop | Apparently Eric, aka footbalm, needed some karma because not only did he provide me (and many others) with a FREE Uinta Anniversary Barleywine, he also threw in a bonus Squatters IPA. Who throws in a bonus beer on a free beer trade? Everything was packed nice and tight and arrived safe and sound. The generosity of the beer community is truly exceptional. |
|
| May 2008 | puzzl | Seriously, who sends out free beer from a contest and then even puts EXTRAS in there? Eric, that’s who! Damn, man! Thanks! |

|

|
| May 2008 | lb4lb | Wow, just for posting in his thread, Eric sends a Uinta Brewing XIV Anniversary Barley Wine, and as if a great free brew wasn’t enough, he tosses in two more new beers as well; Polygamy porter and The Devastator Dopplebock. What a hell of a guy! Packaged well of course, too. Can’t beat this guys generousity...Thanks so much!! |
|
| May 2008 | Dough77 | Eric sends out a free beer just for posting then adds a bonus beer! Who bonus a bonus? Eric does. Shoots me a Uintas Anniv. Barleywine and throws in a Squaters IPA. Eric still proving hes among the sites best when it comes to generosity. |

|
| Apr 2008 | riversideAK | Eric sent a hand bottle of Kuhnhenn Tenacious Cassis, a bomber of Weyerbacher Insanity, and a Bells Two Hearted via the USPS! Nice! Well packed and delivered quickly. Thanks man! |
|
| Mar 2008 | Puddintane | Literally no reason at all to send this box, all he wanted was a couple bottles of KRE which I was more than happy to send just due to his past generosity. This man cannot be beat!! He sends three beers straight from the Want List: Kern River Just Outstanding IPA, 2007 Abyss and a 1994 Thomas Hardy’s. This guy is seriously ridiculous!!! Straight Up Professional!!! |
|
| Mar 2008 | zathrus13 | Eric sent me a bunch of beers, 12 in all. Most are from Utah, and all of them are ones I’ve never tried. Another great trade, our 30 somethingth trade. |

He answered my prayer for a special beer that was brewed out west a while back, and filled up the rest of the styro with 2 Wasatch beers & a shirt, Uinta Anniversary BW, Ballast Point Sea Monster, and Cantillon Cuvee des Champions (one of my favorites!). 4 of these were on my Want List.

|
| Nov 2007 | Soonah | I was looking for a bottle of Kuhnhenn Fourth Dementia, which I got. Eric bonused a bottle Dark Lord, a 2005 Behemoth and some Terrapin Wake-N-Bake IS. Communication was flawless and the bottles were shipped quickly in a styro-shipper. Wow! Just wow! Thanks again, I really appreciate your efforts. |
|
| Oct 2007 | sthlm | I also think I forgot to enter this trade in, so I will put it in now. Eric traded me an ’04 Alesmith Speedway and an ’04 Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock--both of which were amazing! Everyone on here seems to know it by now, but it’s worth saying again that Eric is an amazingly generous trader and huge asset to the Ratebeer community! |
|
| Oct 2007 | Styles | Most likely our last trade for awhile, due to his impending move, UTAH SUCKS, but anyway Eric as always has hooked me up!! 1 Cantillon Cuvee de Champions and a hand bottled Selins Grove Phoenix Kriek. Thanks again brotha!!! |

In it, gasp!!, Southampton Imperial Russian Stout, Russian River Redemption Batch 1 and Jolly Pumpkin Biere de Mars Grand Reserve. This was an unsolicited box!!!!!! Thank you Eric for your awesome and continued generosity, I am thrilled we’ve become friends, and not because of the trades. Ping-pong comin’!! |
|
| Sep 2007 | zathrus13 | Eric depleted my list by sending me a North by Northwest Guldenbiere, Schlafly BBA Impy Stout, Fantome Bris Bon Bon, and a Speedway Stout. He also threw in extras of a De Dolle Reserva 2005 and a Hopslam. Thanks Eric. Always flawless. |
|
| Sep 2007 | ryan | We agreed on a set $$ amount, all I knew I was getting was Cuvee de Champions. Eric sent along with it 4(!) beers from my want list, Drakes Barley Wine Brandy Barrel, Hopping Frog Mean Manalishi, De Dolle Oerbier SR and Tempation Batch 001! Thanks Eric! |
|
| Sep 2007 | mtoast | Holy above and beyond, sent Eric a couple old school DFH 750’s and a Victory V12 for a Cuvee Des Champions and anything else hoppy or sour. He came through big time with a Drie Fonteinen Schaerbeekse and a winter Yulesmith. Thanks for busting my RB trading cherry! |
|
| Sep 2007 | MaxxDaddy | ...and the only prescription was some Footbalm. I was looking for some Oerbier Special Reserva and let him fill in the rest. Well he did a pretty fine job, sending me the Special Reserva, 1 Bell’s Hopslam, 1 Founders Devil Dancer, 1 Detonator Doppelbock, 1 Hair of the Dog Doggie Claws 2005, and 1 Drake’s Barleywine Brandy Barrel (sweet!!). Thanks for the great trade Eric. |
|
| Sep 2007 | MrBendo | Eric answered my ISO for Kuhnhenn Raspberry Eisbock, and told me that we could do a bigger trade "because I’ve got some stuff on your want list". Long story short; he sent 9 beers, and I deleted 9 off my want list. Starting with the KRE, then Stone 8th, FFF Dreadnaught, Drake’s Impy, on and on. The Mother Teresa of traders, lets hope he never loses faith. |
|
| Aug 2007 | TURDFERGUSON | Eric answered my desperate plea for an ’07 Dark Lord and threw in a bunch of stuff from my wantlist to boot. The Dark Knight Returns (handbottled), SN Reserva ’05, HOTD Blue Dot IPA, 1999 Thomas Hardy’s, and a Tyranena Imperial Brown. Great packaging, incredible generosity. I only hope I can find a semi-worthy package to send him. Thanks Eric! |
|
| Aug 2007 | thebaldwizard | My rating, not the package. Eric, as usual, sends a wonderful selection and it was packaged perfectly. Working out the trade was one of the best experiences I’ve had on this site. Thanks so much my friend! |

| Jun 2005 | DarkElf | I’ve traded with so many great traders, but Eric is like no other. He shipped 35 beers in 4 boxes, so many I can’t list them all. Breweries include: Arcadia, Bells, Cisco, Goose Island, Great Divide, Jolly Pumpkin, Lake Front, Left Hand, McKenzie, New Glarus, Southamptom, Sprecher, Two Bros., Unibroue, Viking. Plus bonus: Barley John’s BA Rosies & Dark Knight. I’m blown away |
|
| Jun 2005 | MarkR | While I was happy to receive the well-packed box of great beers from footbalm, he acted like a complete asshole when I ran into a few delays when sending his package: using completely unneccesary threatening tactics both on the forum and through personal email. Understanding and patience are clearly NOT his strong points. Proceed with caution... |
|
| Jun 2005 | Ernest | Amazing packing job on two hand-bottled Dark Knights, a Dark Lord, and a Dominion Oaked Millennium. He shipped frickin’ 2nd day air too! And have I even figured out what to send him in return? Not entirely. Sheesh, what a guy! Best trader on RB? He’d be in the running easily. |
|
| Jun 2005 | Mangino | Huge thanks goes out to Eric on this first trade with him. Arriving in a styro wine shipper was a bottle of Kuhnehan(Sp?) Rasperry Eisbock, and then if that wasnt enough, Alesmith Grand Cru 00’!!!!!!!!! Thanks Eric! |
|
| Jun 2005 | willblake | Footbalm raises the bar for packing and sweet surprises. I asked for Bos keun, Yule Smith, Cuvee de Tomme. I got those plus: Founders breakfast stout, Lake superior winter and bock, Le Maitresse du Moine, K-O blonde, Alesmith Horny Devil as extras. Fantastic communication, swell cat! Thanks Eric! |
|

Eric is a great trader and I look forward to trading with him again if I can get anything he wants. |
|
| May 2005 | FoolishMortal | The number of bottles is an estimate, I started putting them away before I counted them. Among the metric ton of beer I recieved included Dreadnaught, Peche Mortel, Dark Lord, Oak Aged Yeti, The Beast, Westy 8 and 12, Weyerbacher Insanity...the list just goes on and on. It is no secret that footbalm is a pillar of this trading community, but it deserves being mentioned again and again. |
|
| May 2005 | KAggie97 | Eric sent my unworthy person a 2005 Dark Lord, a New Glarus Black Wheat, and a Siberian Night Imperial Stout. Needless to say, I am one happy beer drinker right about now. Eric, you are the man! |
|
| May 2005 | zathrus13 | Eric and I finished off our ’big trade’, and what a trade it was. This is the last box, and I got five 2005 Dark Lord’s!!! And, the extra was a 2005 Speedway Stout. I love trading with Eric, and I know we’ll continue to trade. |

| Apr 2005 | BierBauch | Eric sent to me a Peche Mortale and a Rogue Integrity IPA for which I owe him greatly. The most generous trader I know. Thanks man! |
|
| Apr 2005 | ClarkVV | I asked Eric if he could send me a bottle of Devil Dancer and Batch 999. He sent them out in 2 days. Didnt even ask for anything in return (though I’m going to send him a T Hooker Impy Porter). Incredible! but you already knew that. |
|
| Apr 2005 | cquiroga | Eric was apparently so pleased with the lot of goodies I sent to him in our last trade, he put together an extra package of 5 beers as a thank you-- including four WishListers for me like Victory St. Victorious and Jolly Pumpkin Roja, not to mention a bottle of Peche Mortel. An "extra" bottle of Peche Mortel?? Damn, Eric. I thought */* was generous. . . Fantastic in every way. |

|
| Mar 2005 | ClarkVV | One day, Eric messaged me telling me he was sending a Town Hall Czar Jack to me! I still am not sure why. Oh wait, it’s because he’s the best trader on the site. Hopefully I’ll finally get to repay all of his generosity with a bottle of Peche Mortel. Thanks Eric. |
|
| Mar 2005 | shadey | Eric is a busy man, but still manages to send some amazing beers. I received Barley Johns Alfreds Porter and Dark Knight, as well as New Glarus Black Wheat and Sour Brown. Eric also sent me the two barrel aged beers from Weyerbacher... Heresy and Insanity! Not a big trade, but a quality trade indeed. |

|
| Mar 2005 | ClarkVV | Trading with Eric is becoming a monthly thing, and I’m not complaining. I’ve gotta say, the sheer quality of beers he trades, asking for very little in return is incredible. He just sent me an Alfred’s Porter and in return I sent him some Weyerbacher and Stoudt’s IIPA. Said it befo’ and I’ll say it again, best trader on the site. |

|
| Dec 2004 | CaptainCougar | He’s up to his old tricks of sending excellent Barley Johns beers around the country and letting people try what they likely never would have otherwise. Eric sent me a growler bottled sample of the Barrel Aged Rosies Ale and a Stone 7th too. He is a great asset to the ratebeer community! Just imagine if every city had someone who could bottle the local draft only brews ;) |
|
| Nov 2004 | ClarkVV | I never have seen such generosity. I don’t even remember what we agreed upon, but it was only like 3 or 4 bottles. I ended up getting a box you could have delivered a person in, filled with beer. Barley Johns Dark Knight, Yulesmith, New Glarus Red, and Tart and Oktoberfest, Youngbloods Impy porter, Old Guardian 03 to name a few. . . .just mind blowing really. Everything was wonderfully an |
|
| Nov 2004 | Suttree | So, I get a beermail saying that Footbalm is going to bottle some Barley John’s Dark Knight, and would I like a bottle. I thought about it (for about 1/2 a second) and said "Yes. Yes I would". It arrived yesterday, and will be consumed in about 8 hours. Thanks for the totally unexpected beer! |
|
| Nov 2004 | zathrus13 | Footbalm came thru again when I asked if he could get me some NG Belgain Red. He got me five of the NGBR, and as extra’s, he threw in an NG Octoberfest and a Hercule Stout. He also promised to send a bottle of Barleyjohn’s Dark Knight shortly. A great trader who I hope to trade with again. Maybe he can get me some Dark Lord when it comes out again.... |
|
| Oct 2004 | JCW | I just received a De Dolle Reserva 2000 from Eric and a barrel aged ale(extra that I’ve never had and was angious to try). The packaging was overkill, but who can fault that! Thanks Eric, you are a first rate trader! |
|
| Oct 2004 | IndianaRed | I asked for a DFH Raison D’Extra and I got that as well as the usual couple throw-ins.. However they were a Speedway Stout and a Great Lakes BLackout Stout. Needless to say I was shocked. Thanks Eric. |
|
| Sep 2004 | 5000 | Eric & I went as far as to discuss over the phone what we would be trading and I gotta say, me like! UPS dropped off a ton of beer this morning: 4 New Glarus Bombers, Viking Big Swede, along with various brews from Dominion, Capital, Lakefront, Central Waters, St Croix, Lake Superior, August Schell, Bells, Great Lakes, and Weyerbacher. Simply fantastic!!! |

Eric was very easy to work with, and quick to send out my beers. Thanks for the awesome trade! |

|
| Aug 2004 | cquiroga | Footbalm delivered a full growler of the excellent Barley John’s Dark Knight Imperial Porter. Excellent communication, terrific packaging, and perfect attentiveness to the trading timeline. And he even took the time to seal the top of the growler with wax before shipping out, just to be sure there were no leaks. Great trader. Thanks Eric! |
|
| Aug 2004 | TAR | Eric mailed a growler of Barley John’s Dark Knight to me in three days. The growler couldn’t have been more thoroughly packed. Tons of thick bubble wrap and lots of peanuts. Eric is remarkably prompt and easy to work with. What a good kid! |
|
| Aug 2004 | CaptainCougar | Eric sent me a finely packaged growler of Dark Knight. Very promptly delivered and personally hand dipped in wax to help the seal. This is my second trade with him and he always comes through! I’d definitely recommend footbalm if you’re looking for any Minnesota brews. |
|
| Aug 2004 | herbjones | 1 growler of Dark Knight makes it to the West Coast in 3 days! Eric is a top notch trader and I’d highly recommend him to anybody! |
