Got in a nice trade from another BA member. I've been wanting Blushing Monk for a long long time. He also threw in a homebrew....but I am a little apprehensive drinking a beer a complete stranger made. Somebody trade me some Goose Island stuff already!
Meh, pour it in a glass, smell it, give it a sip....it could be the best shit ever!Originally Posted by Hanzo
Hate Cops? Next time you're in trouble, try calling a fucking hippie
Since none of you jerk faces are trading and posting pictures I am going to continue to post pictures from trades I get in from that other site.
Damn man, nice trade. Can't find reviews of that stuff on BA.. good shit? Also, thought you were chillin' on trading?Since none of you jerk faces are trading and posting pictures I am going to continue to post pictures from trades I get in from that other site.
I'm taking a break from trading because I'm in money saving mode, can't spend $30 to obtain 750ml these days, well unless its a Westvleteren Trappist
The only one that isn't on BA yet is the Duck Rabbit, the others
Oro De Calabaza - Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales - Dexter, MI - BeerAdvocate
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter - Great Lakes Brewing Company - Cleveland, OH - BeerAdvocate
Imperial Stout - Olde Hickory Brewery - Hickory, NC - BeerAdvocate
And yeah, I just can't stay away from trading....but I have slowed down...I do one every once in a while now. This one was an old trade that the guy dragged his feet on.
Side note, I have two bottle of Westvleteren 12 on its way as we speak from a dude in Belgium. I'm excited. (they are supposed to be releasing a bunch of Westy 12 soon in the US, but I am not holding my breath because they keep pushing it back)
Yeah, heard they were hitting the US in April. Still nothing out here and the 3 main spots I go to.. How much did the Belgium trade cost altogether? I was reading that Westvleteren uses Westmalle ingredients, and that overall St. Bernardus is a great indicator of Westvleteren's taste/character. I still wanna try them though, its the last Official Trappist Brewery I've yet to try.
Either way, I'm fucking jealous you're getting a 12.
The guy didn't do trades, you just paypal him the money (he is the whole sites go to guy for Westy. I paid $35 for two 330ml bottles (the only option was a bottle and a glass for $35), it was steep but Westy 12 has been on my list for a while.
The "bricks" that are coming here have six bottles and two glasses for an MSRP of $85, but most stores are going to charge more than that (if other rare releases are any indication).
Fuck it, $35 ain't too bad for something that rare. Post a review when you have one, very curious how it compares to the other belgian strong ales we've both had. Gonna be tough to beat out Gouden Carolus or St. Bernardus ABT12 or Draak.
And $85 for that Westy pack is gnarly, I'll just have some when I go to Belgium I guess.
Many say that St. Berny Abt12 and Roch 10 are better beers than Westy 12, and I tend to believe them since I fucking love those two beers, but I am still expecting 12 to be awesome.
And you're going to Belgium?
How big is your suitcase :-)
Yeah I'm sure it'll be similar to others from that region in Belgium, all those breweries are so close to one another. I'm planning on going there next year with some friends, I'll gotta spend at least a few days doing the Belgium beer experience. Fucking beer heaven man.
And yeah, I guess I should plan on shelling out some cash to ship to rare stuff home.
