I’ve known Garrett since ’05 from another site, and on there he offered up a gem of a beer for trade. I must have been the first to bite and we basically agreed on a "I send you some beer and you send me some beer" type of deal. I shipped him a medley of local and east coast/midwest bottles and he returned the favor with the bottle originally offered along with some west coast hops.

GG and I just completed our first trade; it was a relatively minor exchange, but based on the experience I’m thinking it might be the first of many to come. Garrett searched out the specific beer I requested and included an unsolicited, unexpected, but very welcomed Cigar City RIS. Great!

GG is my oldest trading partner, and I was happy that we could put something together for the first time in a long time. He quickly sends me a couple Drakes Denoggonizers, a beer I’ve been waiting a long time to try. Thanks!

Garrett is my hero. Without hesitation and without holding it hostage he sent a remarkably well packaged box that contained a beer that I never thought I would ever see...A Toronado 20th! Hell yes. Plus a NG Old English Porter and a Valley Brew uberhoppy. what an amazing trader. Wow.
Cheers!

It couldn’t be any easier than trading with this guy! Garrett offered up a Schooners Old Woody from my Want List for trade #200 and the box had 4 more brews in it (Het Kapittel Abt from my WL, Lion Stout, some odd canned brew that I haven’t figured out what it is yet, and what I’m guessing is a homebrew??). Excellent packaging and once again a pleasure!

Garrett came through for me on one of my most wanted brews...BA Old Raspy. He made this one of the easiest trades Ive had and hooked me up with bonuses of RR Redemption and a Lagunitas Old Gnarley Wine. Packed super tight in a wine shipper and shipped fast. Youre the man Garrett!

Garrett is without a doubt one of the finest people on this site. He continually hooks me up with great beers without a fuss, and never really asks for anything in return. Garrett was cool enough to take a shipment of beer for me and then send it to Ohio. Thanks for the help bro!

Garrett sends some nice stuff, incl. BORIS the crusher, stone 11th, pizza port hop-15, some lost abbeys. Sadly a bonus bottle in form of Lagunitas Kill Ugly Radio was smashed .( Still good packing, so probably just bad luck the KUR had to be killed.
