He certainly didnt have to send bonus beers as part of a bet, but he did, and they were very carefully packaged in a large box. Thanks aga

Sep 2004	Unknown	A long running trade-I was to get old Bells Stouts and told Mike it would be a while-I kept in good contact, every week or so. He drank or traded the one beer I was looking for, and seemed to forget about it (Shampton Saison). He threw in some nice extras, and everything was well-packed, etc., but communication was just...off, sarcastic and snide. We just didn’t click, although he has a good rep.

Apr 2004	5000	Sent Mike NW goodies for: Long Trail Double Bag, Alesmith ESB, Pizza Port SPF 45, Bison Chocolate Stout, Moylans Double IPA, & Firestone Walkers Reserve Porter. He delivered in a timely fasihion but the one downside to the trade was the fact that 3 of the 6 beers were almost 50% less than what he quoted me, making the trade almost 20% lopsided. Intentional? I doubt it. Dissapointing, yes.

Dec 2003	DavidP	1 - Alesmith Yulesmith 1 - Alesmith IPA 1 - Alesmith Speedway Stout 1 - Stone Ruination Ratings downgraded a bit because the bottles had settled near the bottom of the box, increasing chance of breakage. Also, they weren’t bagged. Otherwise a great trade because of
