Local Only Trade (LOT)

[jimyson]

@Louz TwistedGray is a great guy. If your ever fortunate enough to grant him he loves IPAs and DIPAs.

Damnit. Now I’m thinking that I should keep that box of BA stouts that were going to head his way next week.

 

[jturman35]

I'd love to get in on this too. If I understand this correctly, someone would have to grant jturman35 after he ships to TBC.

I don't have 100 posts, but I've been a member for awhile. I have plenty of Delaware breweries at my disposal. I would be more than happy to put something together for jturman35

Soon as TBC gets his package I’ll take some Delaware beer!

My package is on its way so @jturman35 is up if your still interested @Louz

 

[TBC]

@jturman35 nailed it!! Great package. Love the variety and can’t wait to try your HB RIS.

Gotta love the LOT!! I tried for a few years on the eMAW thread to score Ghost in the Machine and here I get 2 of them to try!!!!

One of the benefits of living in the northeast this time of year is the Fed Ex guy delivers cold beer! Since you sent me a breakfast IPA and it’s already cold I figured I mine as well have it for breakfast.

Someone hookup @jturman35!

 

[jturman35]

I came up short on the Old Rasputin clone but it’s more of a session RIS! Crowd Control and Fire Ant are two of my favorites! Southern Pecan is probably the oldest and most well known but I really like Southern Prohibition!

Looking at the pics bubbles in the bottles it looks like they had a hell of a ride!

 

[pshankstar]

Nice score @TBC! Ghost in the Machine is in my list of beers to try too!
@jturman35, what a heck of a selection to send!
If it wasn’t for a few other trades going on and a busy schedule, I would jump in again on the LOT trade. Unfortunately it will have to wait until next year.

 

[Louz]

Yes sir. Message me what your looking for and I'll get on it!

 

[Gravelscratcher]

New to this, and a little intimdated, but want to participate in some exchange and fellowship.

Interested in nothing specific.
Breweries around my area:
1). B52 (excellent, and very local to me).
2). Southern Star (meh)
3). Lone Pint (love me some Yellow Rose)
4). Saint Arnold (widely distributed and very good).

Anyway, thanks for your consideration.

 

[jturman35]

Louz is sending me beer sometime next week. Once I receive you guys can get linked up!

Don't we all

 

[TwistedGray]

NO ... We don't, no no we do not.

 

[jturman35]

Louz the eagle has landed!!!


Can’t wait to try your Zombraham Lincoln IPA! Hell of a label I must say! Some big beers, just what I like!!!

 

[Louz]

Awesome! Glad it all made it in one piece. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on some of those.

Thanks for the label love!

 

[jimyson]

What kind of beer are you looking for @Louz?

 

[Louz]

I like anything IPA or NEIPA

 

[Kaniksu Brewer]

Anyone looking for beers from Washington state or the Pacific NW hit me up. I have never traded before but would love to open that door. I pretty much like anything.

You may want to go through a few pages of this thread to see how it works. The guy above you is waiting to be granted, so you would have to send him beers based on his preference (IPA/NEIPA). Once you have shipped his beers you are then up to be granted, and the next person will send you beers based on your preference. Go a few pages back to get a general idea of what is typically shipped and received.

-Enjoy

Thanks @TwistedGray I caught that right after I posted. I will get a selection of NW IPA's together and @Louz in the next few days. PM me your info please @Louz

 

[Kaniksu Brewer]

If I read this correctly @jimyson would be next, if you granted @Louz . Am I correct?

 

[TwistedGray]

Whoever grants @Louz would be next, and technically @jimyson was first to ask Louz what they wanted. So, technically if Jimson wants he would grant Louz and you could then grant Jimyson which means the next person would grant you. Does that make sense?

Side note - Do you have any trades on here where you sent something and/or received something? Or do you have any members on here who know you and/or could vouch? If so, you will inevitably end up here (click me).

 

[jimyson]

I didn’t grant. I was wanting his prefs posted. You are more than welcome to grant him.

No I have never traded before and don't have anyone to vouch for me. I'm sure there are members of my homebrew club on here but none of them trade either. Just figured this was a good way to get beer from other areas of the country to try.

Yes, the LOT is a great place to start. Welcome to the club! @TwistedGray is trying to lure you into some other trade threads where we typically require some trading references or positive feedback from iTrader since we don’t require you to ship first like this thread does.

If you trade in here and enjoy the experience, check out the FotD threads.

It is, and the thread I linked is as well. That's more regular than this thread, but without some trading history you have to start here (their is some leniency over there).

As soon as Louz confirms address you can ship to him and then pay up your preferences. At that point you can get in on the upcoming trade I linked to and mentioned earlier. So, in theory you could get in on that round.

If you haven't traded beer (specifically, shipped beer) make sure you do your due diligence to see how people package and ship to avoid getting caught. Plenty of posts about this, but I'd happily give you the run down if needed.

And Jimyson is being modest...yout will love the trading environment here on HBT.

Thanks @TwistedGray, I thought you might be kicking me out of your club instead of inviting me in. As far as packaging goes, I have shipped beer to competitions before without any issues. I understand wrapping in plastic bags or vacuum sealing, and I read in the thread about putting something that makes noise in the box. Is there anything else I am missing?

I should have some great IPA's to offer coming from the Hop Mecca Washington State.

Definitely inviting you

Exactly what you posted already (re: packing directions), but also line the box with a trash bag. Put all the packaged beer inside the trash bag and close that up tight. That'll hold any beers that crack or open during transit. For noise making you can try candies like Mike and Ike's or Runts or Nerds or pennies in a jar ... etc.

The only other note I will add is that as the shipper you are responsible for missing packages and/or broken stuff (it's customary).

Okay, one last note ... if you do get caught and/or if a package does not get delivered the carrier will let you cover it under insurance. If you are caught with Fedex or UPS there is a strong likelihood that they will flag your account and not let you ship beer again (they'll look/listen for sloshing). I am flagged on Fedex, fwiw.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that's about all that I can think of.

 

[Louz]

I'd be tickled with some Washington state brews ENRK.

 

[jturman35]

Someone send Louz some beer! Dude hooked me up! Now it’s his turn to get hooked up!

 

[Gravelscratcher]

I'll hook you up...if you're interested in Texas beer.
I'm just figuring how this LOT thing works, thanks to Twisted's previous posts.
If you're interested, see my previous post...listed some options.

Edit:
None can voucher for me...have not participated in the past.
