Tom reached out to me that he and his wife would be visiting Alaska. After a great day brewery hopping he gave me two bottles of beer unsolicited. The best part is one was is Abbey Dubbel, Haw River St. Benedict’s Breakfast Dubbel and the other was freshly released Firestone Walker Rye Double DBA. Can’t wait to visit NC to repay the favor in a next few years.

Tom reached out to me as I had Hardywood GBS on my want list. Worked out a deal for a local favorite (Spice Wars Dark Star from Fremont) as well as some others. He was able to knock off another one of my wants, Seeing Double IPA! Awesome person, and an even more awesome trader. Thanks for contacting me Tom! A+++

we tried to make this an in-person trade, but our schedules prevented it, so Illini08 acted as our go between. Tom generously offered up some NC beers I wanted, but knew I would not be able to find in the area of NC I would be traveling through. Got a Pisgah Baptista & Carolina Imp. Stout and threw in a Highland Wheat. Thanks Tom! Hope to meet up with you next time.
