Message TAR beers 2821 º places 34 º 10:41 Sun 4/13/2014 Originally posted by 3fourths first mention of "trade" in a rating is rather funny http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/beername/368/341/ My friend traded some guy in the String Cheese Incident Parking Lot a Bells Oberon for this, he got ripped off, doesn’t stack up at all july 2001 first mention of what must have been a site-driven trade was in fact Gusler http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/beername/3141/46/ august 2002 hennes mentions austinpowers http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/beername/3206/1327/ After reading "String Cheese Incident" and "Oberon" my immediate thoughts were "hippie from Michigan" aka old-shool playa P-Tor44. :-) Speaking of P-Tor, I wonder what Zach Diesel and Kaya161 are up to. Pretty sure they were all homies. Last sighting of Diesel and P-Tor that I know of was 2005 RBSG in Montreal. It appears all three of these guys check in from time to time, which is cool. And I am 99% certain that VENOM was one of the first traders, if not the first, which would have been with Gusler (Jay, IIRC).

Message TAR beers 2821 º places 34 º 10:52 Sun 4/13/2014 Originally posted by Oakes Originally posted by TAR A fun one to contemplate. Almost certainly would have been Gusler. My first trade with him was in Dec. 2001 and I’m sure he traded with someone before that. Also remember trading with Shadallion and Aubrey in 2001/early 2002. VA Homebrewer might have been one of them. Or herbjones or JohnC? Who else am I missing? I traded with Shadallion way back when, too. I think he sent me Lagunitas IPA and Speakeasy IPA and I thought they were the greatest IPAs in history. My notes were entered May 30 2001, probably live. Haha, cool. Those are also what he sent me, along with a bottle of Lagunitas Brown Shugga, which arrived broken in my box that had been crushed and soaked with beer but still delivered. That was back when Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA was a top ten beer, IIRC. My how things have changed.
Message PhillyBeer2112 beers 3498 º places 102 º 12:03 Mon 4/14/2014 VENOM initiated a trade with me in the summer of 2001. That was my first trade, and the whole thing was just starting off. Mostly it was happening by PMs, just contacting someone and asking.
