Apr 2007 LeopoldStoch I have traded several times with Matt now and they have all been great! We had this trade worked out a long time ago and both of us finally were ready to ship, but then Fedex decided to break the original box that he sent me, but what does Matt do? The same day we figured out the box was broke he sent out another box to make up for it. He sent me 7 bomber bottles and a few others too.Thanks Mat

Apr 2007 dcharms Matt and I agreed on a pretty small trade so I could get my hands on a single bottle of DFH Red and White. Well, upon opening my package, I was unbelievably shocked to notice not only the "requested" bottle of Red and White, but also a bottle of Pannepot and Stille Nacht! What a generous guy! I can’t wait to trade with Matt again so I can return the favor...THE BEST!

Mar 2007 brentfeesh My dear Lord! I am truly in disbelief at the overwhelming generosity shown by Matt. On a fluke, Matt sent me someone else’s box of goodies for the trade we had worked out. Much to my surprise, he tells me to keep it! Then he sends me another box full of the original trade and then some! He asked for NOTHING in return for the second box. You should all be so lucky. Great stuff by an awesome

Feb 2007 LeopoldStoch Matt comes through for the third time by sending me pannepot, some oskar blues beers, and a porter from finland that looks really good. Matt was as always very easy to deal with and sent some good beers with excellent packaging in a timely manner. Highly recommended!

Nov 2006 LeopoldStoch I had wanted to try pannepot for the longest time, and once I saw the thread about Florida receiving shelton brother imports of pannepot, I contacted my ratebeer buddy Matt to see if he could track any of it down for me. A day later he says he has a case coming to his store and will send me as many as I want. Great Guy! Great trader, and highly recommended! 6 Pannepots 03-05 Old Stock bonuses
Sep 2006 SB First trade for me and Mcbackus. Exceptional packaging, so much bubble wrap! Great communication all the way. This is like christmas in september! Mcbackus sent 1 Avery Meph, 1 Avery out of bounds stout, 1 Bison Chocolate stout, and 1 Lake front fuel coffee flavored stout. I’m super excited to try all of these beers and a big thank you to Mcbackus for send these, and making a great first
Sep 2006 LeopoldStoch Matt inquired if I could send him some great lakes beers, I said i wouldnt mind to but he would have to wait a little while, and I asked if he would send first since he had no trade record. He says thats fine to wait for some GL, but really wanted to just send some beers to a fellow buckeye fan, so he sends 4 bombers including Hebrew RIPA, 10:10, Fish Tale 10 squared, and Butte Creek Rev X IIPA.
