Anything good come out of Wicked Weed? Anything that I should go out of my way to try? They're doing a tap takeover and I'm wondering if I should head out there.

I like most of their hoppy stuff (Freak of Nature etc) and sour stuff, especially the goses and anything with a fruit in it that you are fond of. I'm really happy that they've got their bottling under control now

I would say most of their sours are worth trying. It's good stuff and not overly sour/tart. Freak of nature and Pernicious are solid.

SERIOUS, posting for a friend. "Hello Everyone I am ISO the impossible in a short time frame. I have a friend that will be moving to Denver and I would like to get a special beer for his going away party which is also his birthday. He has been a great friend and I'd like to surprise him with this. So with that said.... ISO: KBBS... FT: $, Whaleslayer, Beer, etc.. if anyone knows someone that has one available please let me know." He's pretty motivated to get this and I figured I'd try to help. If you're interested let me know and I'll connect you.

He is very serious. That's why I put the serious tag at the top. He's an idiot that is willing to spend 1200-1500 on a 12oz beer. poo poo he already has 800$ in loving whale slayer bottle openers and more loving beer then you can shake a stick at.

I'm serious that he owns I think 4 of them now. Has been invited to JR's private camping share. It's kind of ridiculous. I think he's going to try and get one of the whale, whale slayers the ones that bid for like 400 I think. Chris is too nice of a guy though. It's hard to actually beat up on him as a person just his frivolous spending.

Proper response should've been "so now that you've seen it... can you make it?" I would probably buy a goatse bottle opener.

JR: I'm not looking that up. me: it would make a cool opener, though, right? JR: I wouldn't make one, that's stranger than the request I had for an opener in the shape of a raccoon paw holding a dildo. Other Guy: I wanna meet the kind of person that requests these things. JR: Other Guy when I had a request sheet on BA someone edited someone else's request to that. The original person contacted me and told me that someone changed his order but then told me if I could make that he would buy it. and i disagree that my request was more strange

FS/FT: BCS Rare still sealed 2015. I also have others I would be willing to trade. Some difficults, but not impossible to find beers. Although I guess it depends on your location too.

I'm also open to reasonable offers that only involve cash too. I know I can make a profit by selling it online, but if there are beers I want I"m willing to just not do that I guess?

There are people here who might disagree but those people are like my less attractive, less athletic, and less smart cousins!

You know that's the thing, because while I'm not a super expert but I'm not exactly a moron either. I've heard it's difficult to trade though because people are always feeling like they need to win. I"ll tell you that mindset goes outside of beer trading too.

Which is why I'm suggesting you find a trade partner here instead of a place like Beer Advocate. These are the best beer people ever and will be reasonable with offers and I don't know anyone who posts in the beer thread regularly that will go out of their way to "win" a trade.

There are people here who might disagree but those people are like my less attractive, less athletic, and less smart cousins! I'm going to strongly disagree with this. Hunahpu is a bad beer, I drain poured half of a 2016 because it tasted like straight pepper (mix of green and chili) and even the 2014 I opened a few nights ago was still more pepper than I'd like. The 2016 Abraxas was much much better in my opinion. Maybe a 2012 Huna would be excellent but good lord. Also a Rare should be able to pull more than an Abraxas or Hunahpuh. While Rare is a shelf beer the others will get made every year whereas Rare won't. I traded a Rare for a Cycle DBR, 2014 BA Surly Darkness, and a BC Regal Rye. This was before all the infection nonsense which may have impacted what Rare is trading for (even though no reports of Rare being infected have come out yet).

Huna is actually really good and so is Abraxis. I think they're pretty equal.

Abraxas gave me a lot more cinnamon and chocolate with a hint of pepper where Huna gave me the opposite and was extremely pepper forward. To each their own. Yes that was a particularly good trade for me, it was very close to the release and Rare was still trading really high. I didn't post the trade I just accepted the terms that were proposed. In all fairness I then bought a prop from the same guy for $125 so we probably ended up even in terms of beer to value ratio since prop was not good this year.

Anyone happen to have a BA Sump for trade? I have 2015 BCBS Rare, anything that's come out in Houston distro for the last seven years or so, and a good assortment of brewery only fruited sours readily available. I'm willing to discuss ratios, and specifics, but I don't really even know what to specifically offer. BA Sump is a beer I've just always wanted to try, and I've had bad luck in finding it for trade. Is it odd that I hate coffee, but love coffee beers? I'll agree with what others have said. The goon traders are great, fair, and generous, in my experience. I was never wildly active in beer trading, but I had to take an extended break due to a brain injury, then unemployment, but I still see the same people posting here as I did before.

Initially a lot of my friends and I (as well as others I'm sure) thought it had something to do with the new bottles they used and the sterilization process which would put Rare at risk even though it was 2013 BCBS aged in different barrels. Someone in the beer thread said they traced the infection back to the barrels they used, this is still unconfirmed officially, and if that is the case then Rare is safe.

Bottles are sanitary straight off the pallet, there's really no realistic way you'd get an infection from your glass.

Spanish Manlove posted:Those should also be entirely aseptic and if they aren't it's because someone royally hosed up. Well, I think that's wholly apparent regardless of source. Also remember that BCBW used different barrels, too, since that beer uses old BCBS barrels, and that poo poo was fuccckkked. So the "different barrels!" argument for Rare is not entirely valid, though I've still heard zero reports of issues with that. And FYI: Rare '15 is the same base beer as BCBS '14, not '13. In case anyone wants to do a side-by-side...
