The last post was in July 2005? Does anyone trade anymore? Master HogieWan? I already know you want some milk wine but I have some Cherry Wheet, Honey Wheet and Regular Wheet ready to ship and I will have a German Dunkel ready in a couple or three weeks. I just looked. I still have an older Irish Stout. If it is strange stuff you all might want I can try and make up this stuff called Milk Beer.

Tweek and I did a swap recently (books for beer). I'm sure he'll be posting a review of the East Coast beers once he's had a chance to sample them. I'm sure there's other deals going on, they just may not be in the public eye.

The only "problems" in trading is that USPS, UPS, and FedEx are usually pretty gunshy about allowing one to ship alcohol. So, when asked about the contents of the box, I simply say "collectible glassware". ("Really? It's kinda heavy." "Yeah, you should see it!" )
Haven't heard of anyone on this board who has intentionally stiffed someone else (i.e., failed to live up to their end of the trade)... although I was given a pass a few years back when I fell on pretty hard times just after I received a bunch of beer from people. STILL trying to figure out who I might owe beer to...

If it's homebrew, you can say it's "Live yeast cultures" or do like I do and have fedex pick up the box from work. They just grab the box and don't care what's in it.

I ship wine and beer to my dad in Washington all the time through UPS and all they do is make sure Washington is a state that allows alcohol to be shipped in. I never have problems shipping.

The UPS employee that accepts your package isn't supposed to. From the UPS site:
"h) The only alcoholic beverages that UPS accepts for transportation are wine and beer. Packages containing wine and beer are accepted for transportation only from shippers who are licensed and authorized under applicable laws to ship alcohol and only on a contractual basis. To receive service for packages containing wine or beer, the shipper must sign a contract and agree to the provisions set forth in the approved UPS agreement for the transportation of wine or beer. All packages containing wine or beer must have a UPS label requesting an adult signature upon delivery. It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure that a shipment tendered to UPS does not violate any federal, state, provincial or local laws or regulations applicable to the shipment. All shipments, including shipments containing wine or beer, will be accepted for transportation only according to the terms and conditions contained in the UPS Tariff."
If you aren't a licensed seller/reseller of alcohol (brewery, winery, retailer), UPS isn't supposed to accept the package. Don't expect every UPS outlet to be as understanding as the one you use. I've been grilled at some places in the past, which is why I have a FedEx account - print labels at home, drop and go at the nearest shipper. Easy - no questions.
