Oct 2005	boh52	My first RateBeer trade was a huge success thanks to IMtheOptimator. He was only supposed to send me a Dreadnaught IPA. However, he threw in a Thomas Hooker Oktoberfest (Probably the best Oktoberfest I have ever had) and a Southern Tier IPA. His packaging was great and showed me how I should package beers in all of my future trades. Great stuff, I can’t wait to make some more trades.
