Furious Lobster posted:The exponential trade increase for VSB is incredible honestly because I got one for a more reasonable trade and then saw another ISO offer of Alpine Great 1:1. As others have pointed out, it's an incredible beer but seeing these offers makes me throw my hands up in despair. poo poo! I can buy that for $50/lb .............. anyone ISO??

Very Sour Blackberry is phenomenal and I'm really fortunate to have a bottle of it. I helped a buddy land one last week IP and this is what he traded for all of 1 bottle of Very Sour Blackberry: 750 ml growler of Hill Farmstead Double Citra 750 ml growler of Hill Farmstead Everett 2012 500 ml bottle of Hill Farmstead Birth of Tragedy

Is VSB something I'm reasonably able to get if I drive over to NG, like whatever that experimental sour ale is they always have?

Me in Reverse posted:Hahaha holy gently caress It's worth noting that my buddy lives about 45 minutes from Hill Farmstead so it wasn't difficult for him to get growlers. His family will make trips out there and bring back 12+ growlers and multiple cases of whatever bottles are available at the time. He's too lazy to hunt down beer and he only trades with me so I make out pretty good.  air- posted:Jesus gently caress.

It doesn't matter how good the beer is, I'm not trading $40 of other rare beer for it (unless it cost $40 in the first place, signed Duck Duck Gooze)

He can walk into a dozen local bars and drink most Hill Farmstead beers on tap. $4$ is dumb anyways. If somebody has a problem with me trading a Sour Reserve, a 750 ml "Gueuze" with a smaller bottle count that was $25 for their Duck Duck Gooze, a 750 ml "Gueuze" with a larger bottle count because they paid $40 for it, I would tell them to go gently caress themselves.

Sour Reserve is also substantially better than DDG, so there's that too. I like doing $4$ when doing local stuff most of the time as everyone's on equal footing, or kicking in a few locals to make up any cash discrepancy in two beers of equal rarity but differing costs. But rarity is worth something too, which is why when I see trades like FT: Rare ISO: Case of BCBS I don't poo poo on them.

FT: BORIS VanWinkle ISO: Bourbon County Coffee, and Backyard Rye. I'm also interested in Beatification, or any other cool brewery-only sour. Only 190 cases of BVW being released, and this is probably the only time it will be done in the foreseeable future. I'm getting a pretty good amount, so let me know if you want to trade (even if you don't have anything I listed in my ISO - I love all beer). Me in Reverse posted:^^Also ISO. This stuff is coming to Philly, just FYI. If you look for it, you could probably find it. We can't get it in OH due to ABV cap

How hard would it be for my to trade Pliny for atrial? Am I still pretty far off? I'd really like to try atrial but I'm trying to acquire something that would be equal to it.

Pliny is 'relatively common'. Atrial is significantly lower bottle count and more difficult to obtain. At this point you're more likely to get it from a goon than anywhere else -- the trading community hyped Atrial pretty hard, so its' trade value is high. And similar to what air- said, anyone who has Atrial likely has or can get Pliny. vvv No worries, man. We were all new once.

Right. I'm new to trading in general so its hard for me to gauge some of the values. I'll just keep working to stock up on my trade worthy stuff and hope someone is willing to trade an Atrial in the meantime. Finally going to get to try Pliny and HT, so excited for that.

Piggybacking on fb - I advise against chasing a beer just because of hype factor. I don't recall seeing many posts from you regarding your taste preferences on the beer thread and I'd hate to see you end up surprised because the beer wasn't what you expected.

I'm honestly not the experienced so I could be hyping it up for sure. Ive only found a few sours and I do like them. I've only started to trade, but so far I've gotten ahold of a few I've been anxious to try. I like IPA's and sours, and I already have Pliny and Heady coming in trades. So I figured I'd give atrial a go. I guess I'll need to build up my trading cellar a bit more before I go after atrial.

I don't know how the distro is out where you are but in Philly you can get Tilquin Gueuze, Monk's Cafe Flemish Red, and a bunch of other shelf-ish sours relatively easily. I'd go for what you can find local first, before trying to trade for one of the bigger hypebeers from this year. EDIT: Jolly Pumpkin, Lost Abbey.. there are plenty of great beers to try that should be on shelves vv I thought Central Pa. v v

All of those (especially Tilquin) aren't hard to get, I'd also look at some Boon or Fond Tradition gueuzes.

The monks cafe one is the one I drink at my local bar all the time. I really like that some. The Tilquin I haven't bought yet but will. Thanks for the info guys. Very helpful. Also, what is the best way to keep track of releases of atrial? I have a friend in Austin but I'd like to tell him exactly when its released since he's not a beer guy. Website? Facebook?

They update their beer menu with what's available in bottles. I don't think we'll see Atrial until next year some time -- they just released a batch about a week ago, sold out in a few days.

By the way, CBear, I think I remember you saying you have or were getting a bunch of bottles of GBS -- it's pretty decent trade bait on Reddit and stuff. You should try to trade for some stuff you can't get via distro. Doesn't have to be whales, plenty of great beer that we can't land around here.

Yeah I have a good bit. I was still trying to figure out the relative value of it. I actually messaged a guy on BA that's looking for GBS and wants to trade his atrial....but the post is from last night so I'm pretty sure I'm going to miss out on that one The GBS is what ive gotten the heady, Pliny and abyss for so far. Surprised its trading this well.
