i’ve given away 2 framboos. 1 to a trade partner who always does his best to hook me up. the other to a local for no reason at all.

some of the other stuff i’ve given away over the years:
alpine great. many black tuesdays. many westy 12s. a few alesmith barrel aged speedway stouts.

i gave some free beer away on ratebeer once as well lol. i forgot what i sent him.

Mike409 hooked me up with so much good stuff! He shared owd macs and BA speedway and he sent me a 750 of Black Note for so little it might as well have been giving it away. Real Solid guy and a good new friend!

Definitely one of the best dudes on this site, and Dani (his wife) is awesome as well. Erin and I absolutely love getting together with them, and not just because of beer; they’re good, fun peeps. We’ve got to get up their way soon.

Yes you did, and your beer karma blew up for that, bro. Mike shared that at our New Year’s tasting, and the bottle made my Wall of Fame.



And as always, I’m glad a great beer was shared with good people. That’s all I ever ask for.

Yeah, Bernard, this somewhat depends upon your criteria. For:

1.) At events/gatherings, Several $20 + dollar bottles as far back as 2004 from Heavyweight, McKenzies, Stoudt’s (Traded 12+ bottles of Anniversary over the years), and many more.
2.) As far as sharing, too many to count. Craft Ale House in Limerick, PA, has a regular Tuesday beer share happy hour event, and so many good beers are shared there that I lose count. Among them are growlers from Forest and Main, Tired Hands, rare CC 750s from all the locals, and most recently I shared a jeroboam of Moa Tripel and Baladin Barrel-Aged Xyauyu.

Great query, and your posts lately have been very thoughtful, Bernard. I no longer scroll past your shit, as it is no longer weak. Cheers.

Black Tuesday, Chocolate Rain, 2004 Dark Lord, Isabelle Proximus, Cantillon Loerik, I don’t know what exactly qualifies. Sharing beer can be fun, even if I am not around to see it be drunk.

We need a "Rarest bottle you have ever gotten, either trade or non-trade" thread. Man, do I have fond memories in that arena, most notably the 2004 Dark Lord from BBB63.
