I'm looking to trade good beers with people who may be able to acquire different beers that I may never otherwise have access to. I have 2015 KBS that I'd be willing to trade for certain beers that I cannot obtain. PM me or make it public.

I can't get any 3 Floyds, Russian River, Deschutes. I don't even know what else I'm missing out on. I have 4-8 KBS I'd be willing to trade.

Anything from SoCal you looking for? I have 4 KBS coming but you can never have enough good stuff.

The 3 Floyds Zombie Dust is superb. Unfortunately, I finished my only 6-pack about two weeks ago. If you can get a hold of it, I recommend it.

While I love the idea of trading, I don't have anything that special available near me.

If you want some Deschutes let me know, as I get most of their stuff here.

You should talk to NDCrusader about Alpine. That would be a good trade for you.

Sweet thread.

I can get any of the Bells and Three Floyds beers, including Hopslam and Zombie Dust.

Looking for Pliney The Elder and The Alchemist Heady Topper.

pkt....

You would name the one place I haven't invaded yet. I am going to hit it on the way back to AZ later this month.

I've had everything else... well 50% of them I guess. ;-)

Nothing in particular besides the 3 I mention in the OP. I can get Rogue, Green Flash, and Stone from out west but missing out on many others.

I would love some Deschutes! Lets talk. And I will talk with Crusader. Thanks PKT.

I can't help you but you could help me. I actually thought of you when I started his thread Wooly because of the Three Floyds but because of where you are I doubt I can give you anything you can't get down there. But if you want to help me out with some Zombie Dust I would be forever indebted.

I'll work on the Black Note. We'll talk Crusader.

Are you saying that I made it to Alpine before you?

You are going to love it.

I live fairly close to Russian River. I'll trade Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig for some Zombie Dust, Yuengling or anything else that might be good. I can also get most of the California Beers.

Any Founders or Bells for some Pliny? KBS?

I'll trade you some Russian River Beers for some KBS. Can get Pliny pretty easily and might be able to get some Blind Pig.

OK, I'm back and I'm looking to prep my spread for a Tigers home opener party I'm having. Most of what I can supply is Michigan beers but those are spreading so fast. But there's some other good Michigan beers besides Founders and Bells.

Here's what I actually have to trade.

Bells Hopslam mini keg 1.32 Gal.
Bells Hopslam six pack 12 oz cans
2-12 oz 2015 Founders KBS
2-12 oz 2015 Founders Backwoods Bastard
1-16.9 oz Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout
2-16.9 oz Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Barleywine
1-12 oz New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve with Raspberries
1-12 oz New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve with Toasted Chilies

I can get more Hopslam, Shorts products, Brewery Vivant is good, Right Brain, etc.

What I'm looking for? Well pkt put Alpine out there last year and I'd still like to get some of that. Any 3Floyds products would be good. And damn it if I don't really want to score at least a couple Alchemist Heady Topper. Deschutes Fresh Squeezed is also on my list and possibly other great beers by them.

So anybody interested feel free to post your lists here or go ahead and shoot me a PM.


Edit: I usually get 12 bottles of the new KBS release which is a couple months away. I'd probably trade up to six of them.

I would swap some ZD for PTE if Wooly isn't in, and if anyone out west wants to do a bomber swap, I have (or can get) some really good 3F ones, including Dark Lord (Don't like it personally, have a few sitting).

Just got to work and you guys are making me thirsty!

I'm going to stop on my way home tonight at a couple of places and see if I can find some Russian River, if its there I will buy it ALL and make sure I offer some out to you guys who can't get it.

I can get Gumballhead and Alpha King once a month, generally. I usually mix-and-match the 6-packs, that way I can drink 3 of each and save a 6-pack that has three of each. Trying to start a stock-pile.

Occasionally my guy will be able to reserve Zombie Dust for me, but his boss is trying to keep that from happening anymore. I want to press him to see if I can get one more 6-pack of Zombie Dust to tuck away for a rainy day, but I also don't want to be pushy about it.

Anywho, if anyone likes Alpha King or Gumballhead, I would look into trading the next pair of sixers I get.

What are you looking for? Probably West Coast brews?

I'm actually not too familiar with West Coast stuff, so I'm not sure what kind of priority I should have in what I ask for haha.

I'd love to get my hands on some Hopslam. I'm in KY, and they sell it across the river in OH, but I don't have any connections at those retailers and it's generally gone when I decide to go after it. I can find it at some bars near me if I get lucky in terms of the tap schedule.

Also, Deschutes is on shelves near me almost everywhere and in mass quantities. Fresh Squeezed is easy for me to get my hands on.

Hmm. Any offerings in particular that you're looking for?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Actually no. I love what they do and I love the style but besides that I don't know anything about them. I could do a little research but I would guess you could probably tell me what their best available would be. I mean I just checked Beer Advocate and it says they have 60 beers but I'm guessing at the store it's maybe more like 6. I'll look into it but I'm open to any suggestions. I'd like to stay in the Farmhouse or Wild Ale style though.

Thanks.
