merc7186

Born and Raised in and around Buffalo, NY area. I have a job that allows me to do some travelling and try many brewpubs and bottle shops.

Bruery Reserve Society Member.

Want to see my cellar... My CellarHQ

Untappd: merc7186

Shipping to me (PLEASE READ):
I would prefer any boxes to land at my house on a Monday, Friday or Saturday as I work out of town typically during the middle of the week and if the box is too heavy, my wife may leave it on the porch until I return.

My Trading Ettiquette: (not for everyone apparently)
1. I Send extras!!!
2. I Love extras!!!
3. A WANTS LIST should not be limited to Whales Only.
4. I do not chase down the new 'Flavor of the Week' nor do I want it.
5. I do not read the ISO:FT thread for trades, I read it for amusement because every 'Flavor of the Week' definitely deserves BCS Rare in return.
6. I will send you local extras or other beers that you don't get, If you don't feel the same way about extras, then tell me before I ship out. I love getting local cans and bottles of stuff that I can't get or have ever ticked. I have plenty of glassware already but I am not going to refuse it either. If you are good with extras, then you may have a thread written about you...

7. If it is on my Wants list, then I want it., regardless of when it was added.
8. If you make an offer and it is accepted, then follow throug.
9. If the beer you send has the word PALE in it somewhere and over 10 weeks old, its garbage, not an extra.
