| Dec 2013 | jdb288 | IP trade with Derek in Michigan. Cannot begin to tell you how pleased I was with the trade or how generous Derek was...I hope to pay him back ASAP and crack a beer with him next time I’m in town! |
|
| Mar 2012 | pantanap | i owe derek sexual favors...that’s all i’m gonna say. see you in kzoo soon! |
|
| Jun 2011 | Ughsmash | Derek sent an unbelievable box that will take serious beer karma to repay. AWESOME! |
|
| May 2011 | markwise | I asked Derek for some help with a tasting. He sent me a box that not only blew me away, but were made before I got into beer. Believe the feedback. Derek is the man. |
|
| Jan 2011 | pantanap | embarassed....that’s how i feel everytime i initiate a trade with derek. geez. |
|
| Jan 2011 | mashmaster | So Derek and I agreed to a trade for a few beers. The trader of the year sends me a whole case! He even threw in a Lambicus Dexterius as an extra! Who does that? Derek does! What a fantastic trader! |
|
| Nov 2010 | hoptimist | I inquired about 3F DL and a couple Bells and Kuhnhenn’s and we worked out a trade that left much to our own discretions. Derek hooked me up with all I asked about plus two dozen other treats! VERY generous trader. Great packing, fast shipping and great communication. Plus he shipped first while knowing I had no trade history yet. Santa, be good to Derek this Christmas...he deserves it! |
|
| Jul 2010 | alexsdad06 | Derek sent a few bottles from the Kuhnhenn Summer solstice party and then filled the box with a ton of extras that included a growler of The Woodmaster, Bells Eccentric 08, and Shorts Imperial Carob Stout. He was, as usual, super generous and very easy to trade with. Everything was well packed. I look forward to our next trade. |
|
| Jul 2010 | bierkoning | Got a brilliant box filled with rare gems, almost all from my want list. hoppymeal is a great trader! |
|
| Jan 2010 | ditmier | So I came from out of no where asking for some special JP’s...Derek delivered two of my huge wants without asking for anything specific in return, and piles on 5 crazy extras...a very humbling experience...Massive thanks! |
|
| Jan 2010 | daknole | Ok folks I dont know what I did to deserve the 18 beers that derek sent me, but holy shit. 7 shorts, 5 kuhnhenn,1 bells, 1 big rock, 1 dark horse, and ho hum a 2005 BA Decadence(say what?), Lambicus Dexterius(say what again?) and a Walldorff barleywine. I bow to derek. CHEERS!!!!!!!!! |
|
| Sep 2009 | doubleo | Got a nice package from Derek as a thank you. He sent me a Leelanau Petoskey Pale, Kuhnhenn Tenacious Cassis, Raspberry Eisbock & Grand Cru, Big Rock Saison St Clair and Bell’s The Oracle x3. Thanks again! |
|
| Jun 2009 | pantanap | i inquired about some kuhnhenn brews and he was able to ship out the next day. in it was the aforementioned bottle and some crazy others that just threw me for a loop. derek’s beer karma must be approaching the limit. |
|
| May 2009 | GAManiac | Given my previous trades with Derek, it was no surprise that he came through on the trade and sent some extras that would be centerpieces for most trades. Certainly one of the best and most generous traders I’ve ever dealt with. Trade with Derek at your own risk as you will be embarrassed by what he sends you. |
|
| May 2009 | GodOfThunder | I haven’t even sent Derek a box yet and he hooked me up HUGE. The box he sent was jaw-dropping with rare stuff from my wants list. I’m willing to say he is the best trader on this site. Generous, easy to do business with and just an all around great ambassador for the craft beer universe. I hope this is just the first of many boxes between the two of us. |
|
| May 2009 | jarspag | Another awesome trade with Derek in our second go around. Nothing much else to say, other than Derek is the man. Thanks dude. |
|
| Mar 2009 | 5000 | All I gotta say is that Derek made me one happy camper yesterday. Not only did he expertly pack and deliver two fantastic boxes, boxes filled with assorted Shorts (13 bottles) and 4 bottles of FIrestone 11 (WOW oh WEE WOW), but he tosses in half a dozen beers from Dark Horse and Kuhnhenn as freebies!!! Who does that? Well... Derek does. I’m still smiling... |
|
| Feb 2009 | JCB | Derek is one of the most generous folks out there, and his boxes are jaw-dropping, literally. His "extras" would be the center of many a serious trade. Seriously stomp-ass trader. Cheers, my friend!!! |
|
| Feb 2009 | pantanap | another terrific trade with derek in which he sent the requested big rock bottles and then bonuses another 8 bottles or so from items on my wantlist. this is generosity at its best. i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again, derek is the man. |
|
| Jan 2009 | hopdog | My jaw dropped when I opened Derek’s box; A Kuhnhenn that was on my want list and one that should have been, Shorts Growler, Michigan Sour Cherry from my want list and a Dark Horse 4 Elf. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! |
|
| Jan 2009 | goldtwins | Derek and I have traded a number of times now and he is one of the best. I sent him a message asking if he had a Kuhnhenn 5th Dementia and one of the new Kuhn IPAs. He sent the Extreme IIPA and 5th along with their Rauch DB , Bells Eccentric (want list), Dark Horse 4 Elf, and Big Rock Chop House RIS and Saison St. Clair w/ wild yeast. YES!!! |
|
| Jan 2009 | WeeHeavySD | Stupefied by the generosity of Derek. In our 3rd or 4th trade, Derek sent all the winter fest kunhenn beers I wanted, 7 in total, including 5th dementia. Additionally sends Arbor Velvet Hammer and Saison. That was enough to make me faint, but then he threw in Kuhnhenn a few shillings, Shorts Ginger in the Rye, Brooklyn Black Ops!, and Big Rock Chop House Cherry Sour Trippel. Excellent, ef |
|
| Jan 2009 | ucusty | Derek sent along the agreed upon 5th Dementia, which is amazing in its self. Then he does the unthinkable... He really shows me up! Bonus’ me 3 guys off the scale (WL) Kuhnhenn 2007 RE (WL) Kuhnhenn 2008 4th D (WL), and last but definitely not least A Surly Darkness (WL) HOLY SHIT!!! I am blown away and its my anniversary !

|
| Oct 2008 | Crosling | 32 beers total, all rockin’ stuff, several extras. Derek’s money. |
|
| Oct 2008 | bvc | Derek and I agreed on a trade that involved me sending a rare Russian River for an equally as rare Alesmith release. He and I then were able to easily agree on expanding our trade that sent me some Michigan treats that I really wanted to try out. A couple of releases from Shorts (Sustenance and Peaches & Crème) as well as some stuff from Kuhnhenn (Fourth Dementia Old Ale and Vintage |
|

|
| Aug 2008 | northernbrews | Derek and I have had an ongoing trade going for a while. He picked me up 12 big heads and 6 Eccentric in April. When he gave me those, he gave me a Dark Lord 08 Bonus !!! We decided to meet up again at the Perseguidor Release where I was going to pick up the case of Bourbon Cherry Stout’s he got for me and Styles....and I was bringing him the case of 3 guys and some JP reserves......he forgot |
|
| Aug 2008 | Stine | In our third trade Derek sends me three Michigan sour beers, one so absurdly limited that I never thought I’d get to try it. But Derek is a serious class act, and sent it over without even worrying about what I’d send. Thanks a ton my man. |
|
| Jul 2008 | incutrav | Another great trade from Derek. Hooked me up with Shorts Impy Spruce, Bloody beer, and super duper bonus of Bells Bourbon Cherry, KBS and a Maui Porter, all I have been wanting to sample. Thanks man! |

| May 2008 | goldtwins | I asked Derek if he could get me Bells Big Head and his answer was of course how many. Great guy and another great trade with him. |
|
| May 2008 | goldtwins | Derek hooked me up with my much wanted Short’s IIPAs and even bonused a 750ml Woodmaster. Great guy to trade with. |
|
| May 2008 | Stine | Again Derek shows why he is an absolutely ideal trader. We had a loosely agreed upon trade. Then he goes and sends out his end before I even have the beers I’m planning to send him, and without a second thought. A few more Short’s imperial beers (huge thanks), Bells Big Head X2, and a KILLER extra of Shorts Bourbon Aged Black Beer. Once again I could not be happier with this guy. |
|
| May 2008 | kmweaver | Awesome, awesome stuff from Derek: three Shorts beers as requested: BA Sustenance, Black Licorice Lager, and Black Cherry Porter, plus he tossed in extras of Michigan RIS (nice!) and a frikkin’ KRE.

Oh, and believe me, this was a super unique pack job. |

Bam, Shorts Peaches, Woodmaster and Anv. pt 1, with some of the finest extras I’ve received, both from my wantlist: Eccentric Ale 2006 and Shorts Black Licorice Lager.
