I've got about seventy beers in a fridge out back and some warms on the shelf i am aging. Nothing below 7.2 percent as i'm always looking to feel the buzz along with the taste. Anybody willing to trade let me know, i've got some amazing stuff to do so with.

Trading beers? Tell me more! That sounds like a great, fun way to try new things. I don't have anything at the moment, but I could buy some Ninkasi's from Eugene, Oregon, or Stone Brewery stuff from Escondido, California, but I have a feeling those aren't rare enough to bother with? Well it's cool that you're having such fun/good trading. How'd this start?

Well it started at a few various websites i go to for sporting purposes. In passing I had told people i was willing to trade if they were. The most notable place to do so is beer advocate. I haven't participated there as of yet, but i have many friends who have told me of great trades they have participated in. They have a basic forum for discussions and as you get to know people better, you can offer them trades for certain beers they have listed as up for trade in their profiles. Generally the person who has been their the longer of the two will be the first to ship and it really comes down to what you are looking for in trade as just about everything is available. After receiving your beer you reciprocate in kind. Its full proof, as my buddy has made about 20 trades since becoming a member there. I merely use it to determine which beers i am interested in. Its a reputable site and people are regulated on the trade section and its a hell of a nice option. I have a few i trade with now in the midwest area so i can attain beers from that area, such as the hopslam.

As I have stated i'm up for trade, but as it stands i live in Cali so all of the Oregon and washington state all the way to alaska and midnight sun is available here. I do have some from back east and several from the midwest. I mainly look for beer that is very rare, but i'm willing to help someone out that wants something rare for themselves. I'd take a look at beer advocate and get back to me, maybe i can help you out, or vice versa. Let me know, i'm willing to send first and i had some oregon beers earmarked that were more upper level, i can get back to you on. I also live near bootleggers/breury in southern california and can attain their rare beers such as knuckle sandwich which are increasing in popularity. Talk to ya.

Cool, man, I'll look around and be in touch with you. I'm usually around Eugene, Orgeon, a couple blocks from Ninkasi Brewery, but at the moment stuck in BFE Idaho. I'll probably wait til I go back to Oregon before I even holler at you about this again, but I'll be thinking about it and looking around the sites. Thanks for the info!

Well I started out drinking this.

It's basically Canada's version of Budweiser however, the chances of finding it at a pub on a college campus bar in Nevada is pretty astronomical so I decided to just stick with it. It did a good job at getting the job started, but now I'm helping it along with this.

I've drank 4 out of my 6 and am debating whether or not I wish to continue with the last 2 or if I wish to save them for tomorrow. I'm thinking more towards the latter, I'm already quite intoxicated and anything else would just seem a little... I dunno... excessive.

A good lager, although I wish it wouldn't foam up as much when I pour it into a pint glass. Still it find it amazing how just 4 of these are enough to do what 6 lower quality beers cannot.

Tried a new Ninkasi tonight, a 5.9% Porter:

Ninkasi ReNEWAle 2012 Porter

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A new year! A new beer! Each year Renewale will be something new and special to enjoy while winter runs its course. Bittersweet chocolate aroma and flavors accentuate this dark, rich ale. Balanced and satisfying, this Robust style Porter is sure to bring cheer in the New Year!

Had four, because they're not as strong as I usually go for (and my friend wanted two), but they were delicious and dark to my preference. I almost enjoyed it more than their 6.7% Ruination IPA. Where I am at the moment, these are the only two options from the company. Anyway, both are great, this new one is better tasting but need more than usual to catch a buzz...

I drank the four about three hours ago and I'm completely sober again already, but it was pleasant for before and during dinner.
