Got my box from Chris today. Yes, I waited. Yes, I waited a long time. And Yes…it was worth it! Everything he sent was special and rare. If you are waiting for beer from Chris…hang in there. He is honorable. WOW...my ATL beer buds will enjoy this beer as it is far too good, far to rare to drink alone.

Ok Chris took ages to send (but he had warned he might) but when i got the package it had a huge number of my wants(some id even forgotten) plus the Black Tuesday that was the cause of the trade. Oh and the Fat tire. But to give him credit he did try to talk me out of it :-)

Great trader. Let me know of some timing issues ahead of time, insisted on shipping first, and when the package finally came, I was far from disappointed. Some amazing extras. A pleasure.

Set up an in person trade while I was in California for my sisters wedding. No car, so Chris really went out of his way to accomodate. He met me in person and dropped off a pizza port shark bite, LA red poppy and LA ten commandments! I just told him to give me a couple of good california beers and he really came through. Cant wait to drink my souvenirs!

Chris and I had been working on this one for quite some time, and it couldnt have turned out better! Included were a bunch of old Stone (and a PP) beers that I thought had escaped my grasp, and a couple stouts/porters that I had been looking for.. and when a simple, cheap, and common beer that I wanted wasnt available, he threw in an Alesmith BAON!!! Well-packed and a true pleasure!

After a long wait, Chris sent me some awesome brews. The only one we had agreed upon was a 05 Cuvee de Tomme (MJ rare beer club version). Also included in the package was an 05 Oerbier Reserva and an 06 La Folie. Sweet! It was a long time coming, but I can honestly say it was worth the wait. Communication was a bit slack at times, but hey, life happens. Thanks, Chris!

Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Picked up a box at the post office covered in mould because 2 bottles had broken. Even had to pay an extra $60 to get that totally destroyed package because the customs screwed everything up. Got a nice bunch though, 25 in total, thanks a lot Chris for that. I will reconsider trading again though (in general), it has just been to hasty and to much to worr

Chris sent me a gorgeous set of beers--all from my wish list, and all of them rare. He agrees to send Stone 6th, Oggis Witch Doctor, Le Woody, Alesmith Weizenbock, and he then bonuses Lost Abbey Avant Garde and Old Viscosity! He really blew me away with that box, and I feel like I definitely owe him one. Thanks Chris!

Though a little scatterbrained and distracted by something called "life," Chris came through in a big way. He deliver a 2003 SPF 45, 2005 SPF 45, Lost Abbey Red Barn, Pizza Port Santas Little Helper, and extras of Oerbier Reserva 2002 (sweet!) and Pizza Port Poormans IIPA, which was fabulous.

Chris sent me a package with an Oggis Witch Doctor, Pizza Port SPF 45, Mother of All Beers, and Cuvee de Tomme, expertly packaged in foam bottle shippers (some mail order places dont even do that). I have to knock one point off of the overall because his communication was sluggish and vague at times, but this was mostly an excellent trade.

Chris and I cleared up this miss-understanding. I didnt clearly communicate to him that I thought this wasnt a "holiday" trade and he didnt really make it clear that it was. Chris seems like a very generous guy and once we talked it out he went out of his way to ship right away. I would trade with him again in the future, but I would make sure we agree on shipping dates before

The packaging was excellent, but that's not what is great here. Not only did he deliver ther Alesmith speedway & horny devil, Stone Sawyer's & IPA, but he threw in "surprises". WHO THROWS IN STORM KING AND ALPHA KING AS SURPRISE BEERS?! This guys rules to trade with. Not only do I approve, I encourage. You kick ass Chris!
