Beer Trade

Been a loooooong time since I’ve done a free beer thread. I’ll ship a couple local beers to whoever can give me the correct answer!

Back in my trading heyday I would put initials on bottles so I could remember who I got them from. Tell me who’s initials these are and win a couple free beers! Probably need an old timer to get the correct answer for this one! Hopefully I can get you a couple new rates. Lower 48 only.

Cousin Carey. Growing up my grandfathers older cousin who never married we used to visit we called her CC. She lived to ripe old age of 97. Not sure what her hobbies were but maybe beer trading lived in Bridgeport, CT.

Nice try! Good story as well!
This is an old school ratebeerian who hasn’t been active for some time now. We did several trades over the years, back in the day. Good times!

Good deal, Greg!
Yup. CaptainCougar was a great Ratebeerian and beer trading SOB! Great guy to deal with and just a all around pleasant fella.

Greg, not sure what I can pull together for ya but we’ll work something out. You’re fairly local again, no? BM me and let’s get it done buddy!

Cool! Not a winner but a great reminder of another great Ratebeerian that I had several awesome trades with back in the day. Hell, I think I traded with Cletus before he was Cletus! :rofl:

Thanks for playing brotha! :+1:t2::beers::v:t2:

Tom (CC) and Casey are definitely some of the best people I met on RB, hope they are doing well. I live out in Milwaukee now. Might be back around that general area sometime in the summer though.

Most of the RBians I met did buck the trend and that’s just one of the reasons I enjoyed their company! :wink:

Ummm, beer delivery went off without a hitch! Greg received them about a week ago. I sent Greg a Nepenthe Mai Bock and another, a smoked beer that I forget the name of, looked interesting! I also messed with his head by sending him a couple relics out of my cellar! See pic!
Heavyweight Perkunos Hammer Imperial Porter and a rare bottle of 1999 Brimstone Big Ale! Greg had asked for any unrated Heavyweight and or Brimstone beers, as a joke because who has any of those brews just laying around right?!
Anyway, just letting y’all know that Greg played my Free Beer game and won and I came through on my end. Hopefully he enjoys the beers though I can’t imagine the oldies being much good.
Just so y’all know I will try to do another Free Beer game in a few months. It was fun and brought back a lot of good memories for me and hopefully for some other old timers on the site? Keep yer eyes peeled!
