Dec 2003	BBB63	The Unibroue Ephemere Cassis and the Edition 2004 is excellent time and wrapped nicely. Top notch trader is John, highly recommended!
Dec 2003	herbjones	No page of beer deliverys is complete without some respect going to hopsrus. This trade took place a some weeks ago when John sent Lou Pepe Kriek and Guezue, along with some Southampton Baltic Porter. I cant say enough about John he is the man! And any of you RBers out there who will be picking up Alesmith in Ohio this spring should send one bottle of your purchase to John in Thanks.I have a feeling his "nagging" the distributors had something to do with it!
Dec 2003	Rastacouere	Hopsrus sends the biggest shipment I ever heard of with no less than 11 bombers and 13 "12 oz". Truly a king among traders, I wonder how many ratings on this site we owe him. Belgian Shop must be hiding.
Dec 2003	sloth	Gotta give john credit, he keeps on keepin on! The first shipment of Siberian night Imperial stout got wiped out by the fedex guy. John kept it together and got me my beers! 1 hand bottled Siberian Night Imp. Stout and a bomber of Stone 7th Anniversary! Both arrived in good shape and in a timely manor. John is a good guy to deal with. Kept in touch with me about the beers and was very apologetic about the holdup. Nuthin to be sorry about john! Thanks bro!
Nov 2003	TheBeerGod	Yet another awesome trade with hopsrus(John)! He continues to outdo himself with all of the trades he does with everyone here. Ours was small - I received a Bells 6000 and Bells Expedition. Thanks again! HIGHLY recommended to all traders!
Nov 2003	jazz88	When he asked if i wanted more, how could I refuse. These four imperial stouts arrived quickly and well packaged: Thirsty Dog Siberian Night Imperial Stout, Great Divide Maverick Imperial Stout, Founders Imperial Stout, Arcadia Imperial Stout
Nov 2003	Terminus	Hopsrus bottled some SN harvest and sent me 2 bottles of this wonderful brew. Nice job on the bottling also-some good carbonation!
Nov 2003	CaptainCougar	I just got a number of quality hand bottled beers from Hopsrus. I think this is either the fourth or fifth trade I've done with him, and everytime he comes through and then some. Always quick on shipping and very generous. The #1 trader on this site, no doubt.
Oct 2003	loweredsixth	I think Hopsrus will get the hang of trading once he's gotten a few more trades under his belt. JUST KIDDING! John is the man when it comes to beer trading. He's very professional, very reliable, and very nice...he always sends an extra bottle of something. In this shipment he sent me a Snake River Zonker Stout, a Maverick Imperial Stout, a Lake Effect Stout, a Cafe Fuel Stout, and a Founders Black Ale (this was unexpected.) Thanks for the great trade!
Oct 2003	loweredsixth	At least three trades with Hopsrus. What can I say, he is da man. Easy to talk to, extremely fair trader, and great packer.
Oct 2003	JohnC	Lots of trades over the last couple of years and always first class results
Oct 2003	austinpowers	HopsRUs is a reliable trader.
Oct 2003	herbjones	We all know John is the trader of the year. More trades/bottles then I can remember and not one bottle lost or broken.
