Don’t hesitate to trade with Brad, and thanks for the Stille Nacht! Cheers Brad!
Jan 2010 StFun Everyone at Ratebeer knows by now that Brad is the man, and this is just another example. I found a beer he was interested in, and tried to send it to him as a gift, but Brad would have none of it. He sent a big time rare beer off my wantlist and threw in a Papier, also WL. I got the box before I even shipped. Brad is in a class by himself. Thanks!!
Jan 2010 ineedabeerhere Brad is one crazy dude, and I mean that in the best way possible. He sent over some westy crates that I gave to a friend for a neat beer rack carpentry project. He insisted on sending some rare beers in addition to the payment for the woodwork! What a guy, do not hesitate to trade with him!

Dec 2009 BelgianBeerGal First trade with Brad and hopefully more in the future. Quick trade with him for Firestone Walker 11. There was also a Westy 12 in the box which I can only assume has been re-filled with homebrew or was used as packing material for two reasons: 1. we agreed no extras and 2. no one in the their right mind bonuses a Westy 12. Maybe he’s just insane?
Dec 2009 thebaldwizard Everyone knows Brad kicks ass. He sends me a great box of goodies quickly and packed perfectly. Thanks for another easy trade, Brad!
Dec 2009 SpencerDB I got extremely lucky. My first beer trade was with Brad. I offered to ship first, but he just went ahead and sent. I got my package (which was bombproof by the way) within 48 hours of giving him my address. Great trader! Looking forward to our next trade :)

I traded Brad a SA Utopias with a couple of local extras for a giant box of goodies, including a Darklord, Westy 12, Abyss, and the list goes on and on. An agreement was quick and easy, and the box was in my hands within a week or so. Brad’s a great trader.

Nov 2009 MatSciGuy ygtbsm... Brad sends a ridiculous box that was worth well more than what I was sending already ($ and rarity), asks that I include no bonuses, and then proceeds to bonus me an Abyss ’08. I can’t express enough how awesome this guy is. Generous to a fault.
