Just as the title says. I have one April 2012, and one October 2012 bottle of Westy 12.

Prefer Ottawa in person, but would consider mail now that the weather is warming up.

Good luck with your trade.

Why is it that Ottawa people never seem to want to mail beer?

Thank you. First time posting a trade thread (for beer, anyway) anywhere.

I'm down to mail anything, that's how I've been doing it through a friend in Toronto, I just figured convenience + meeting some local traders would be nice.

That makes sense now :) Just seems like Ottawa people here are always wanting IP trades. Given how hard it is to come by most of the rarer American brews, your chances of finding a trading partner will increase a lot if you expand to include shipping...

Lol - or it might be because we are all lazy/cheap public servants who don't want to spend the money to send beer and/or the effort :D

Lol - or also because its nice to meet people when you trade and maybe share a beer at the same time.

LOL, dont get us confused with Quebec provincial government.

Plenty of people down in Ottawa that travel for business, or simply like to explore the nice areas within our reach for day trips (Quebec, Penn, Vermont, NY, Maine, etc). Complements your access to Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Besides, Ottawa has something TO doesnt easily have... quick access to the border for shipping (45 mins to Odgensburg).

Helps get those rare american beers down here.

Cheers!

Kek, maybe we should setup a Springtime swap meet for trading and sharing beers? Maybe would incite TO traders to treck down here. Kinda like a DarkLord day without the Dark Lord shenanigans.
