Oct 2006 hopscotch Sebastian was supposed to send a bomber of Black Flag Imperial Stout. He did, but so much more. I also received a bottle of Reaper Inevitable Ale, Nimbus Oatmeal Stout and Old MonkeyShine, New Belgium Saison and Four Peaks Kiltlifter. Everything was very well-packed with lots of bubble wrap and brown paper. Thanks Sebastian; you’re too generous!

Wow, that’s all I can say! Wow.
Sep 2006 kepano I am absolutely disgusted by the generosity of Sebastian. Not only does he send me the ridiculous triptych of Dark Lord ’04, Speedway Stout and Supplication, but as BONUS throws in Yulesmith (Summer), Old Numbskull, Behemoth, Sanctification and four Nimbus brews, thereby knocking 8 beers off my want list and 5 from the top 50. I’m ashamed. Beautiful packaging too.
Jun 2006 Walt So, our agreed upon trade was PP Synergy...but I also got Speakeasy Big Daddy, Speakeasy Prohibition, Oskar Blues Old Chub, and a hell of a bonus: Mephistopheles!!!! Great trader and I’d trade again in a heartbeat!
May 2006 JHop Flaco replied to a rather ridiculous offer i made for a DL 04, and was a great enough dude to not accept the entire list that i offered for one beer! So it arrives perfectly packed with the awesome bonus of a six pack of all different Nimbus brews. FlacoAlto is QUITE the man.
Feb 2006 Styles Sebastian shipped among the six pack and extra’s, GI IIPA, 3 nimbus brews, 4 Deschutes brews, 1 Oak creek, and a 22oz Left Hand XXXmas ale. Plus the agreed upon Cantillon Loerik (greatly appreciated) and 02’ Bigfoot. Packaged perfect, but side panel was crushed and broke a bottle. Not Sebastians’ fault whatsoever. Would recommend anytime!!! Thanks again!!
Feb 2006 goldtwins 6 pack trasde with a bonus growler...very generous. Nimbus Brown, Red, Old MonkeyShine, and Stout, Oak Creek Nut Brown and a Four Peeks 8th Street. Then he tossed in a Nimbus Scotch Growler. Once again very generous. Thanks Sebastian

Then Sebastian threw in 2 awesome bombers as bonuses, Bear Republic Hop Rod, and ReaperAle Ritual Dark. Highly recommended without any reservations. Thanks man!
Jan 2006 JahNoth Sebastian is the king at blowing me away in trades. He styled me with the sixers of Avery New World Porter and Nimbus Oatmeal Stout. But then he tosses in a Left Hand Imperial Stout, Alesmith Old Numbskull and Meantime IPA. Wow!
Jan 2006 Schroppfy 5 75 cl homebrewed saisons, something like 6 extra beers, 5 from Nimbus (yum!), a RR Sancification, a BA Old Numbskull, am I forgetting anything? (edit: Yes, I did, a 75 cl of Wild Dog Weizenbock!). Sebastian is a great trader, super generous, and the box he used is the bomb. I sent it on to StewardofGondor since that was a large shipment. Thanks, Sebastian, it was a great trade!
Jan 2006 matta The S. Man just sent a follow up package, which was not necessary at all, but will be dutifully enjoyed, that contained 1 Green Flash IPA, Amber, and Extra Pale Ale… Sebastian must not mind flashing some green, when on the scene, to get the ladies clean, all up and in-between… What does this mean?
Jan 2006 matta Sebastian sent an incredibly decedent parcel in our most recent trade! He filled this package with some most treasured of Beer Geek beverages. Most notably, the low gravity summer Saison that he brewed himself… truly one of the best I have ever had! A highly recommended trader indeed!
Dec 2005 kramer Sebastian checks off 3 new states for me with New Mexico, Arizona, and Hawaii. Beers from Sierra Blanca, Oak Creek, 4 Peaks, Nimbus, and Kona. Threw in 3 bonus beers that were better quality than the stuff we traded for! Moylan’s Impy and DIPA and an Old Rasputin. Very easy and quick trade, excellent communication. Recommended trader.
Dec 2005 ClarkVV Well, Sebastian decided he would send me 7 bonus beers. 7 bonus beers. That’s just ridiculous. And get this, it was a trade for 1 bottle of beer!!!!

Packaged Like a champion. He should give classes.
Sep 2005 JahNoth Sebastion stoked me like a campfire! I have been longing for some Nimbus brew ever since my trip to Tuscon like 4 years ago. He stoked me with the agreed upon mixed 12 of Nimbus, but then bonused me a Moylander double IPA, HOTD Fred and Ska Decadent 2IPA. Stoked for sure! Beer trading is da bomb.
Aug 2005 ClarkVV Sebastian blows me out of the water with an incredibly generous selection of 2 YuleSmiths, (which is more than enough right there) but then throws in a New Belgium Biere de Mars from my want list and a Aqua Seca Fantasma AND an AleSmith Wee Heavy. Absolutely ridiculous!! One of the best and most generous traders out there. Cheers!
Jul 2005 ClarkVV Boy I like being in the beer trading network. This is now my second free box of beer I have received and it really is mind blowing that people are so generous.
