Beer - trading & discussion

I think all the magnums were $140. Pretty much everyone in the front of the line snapped up the Vintage. It was the "OMGStoutDurieuxKurtz" of the bunch (and will probably be treated the same, traded or sold but rarely enjoyed by the original purchaser)

In my head $140 for a mag of fuzzy is cheap considering secondary on it if you wanted one. I know all the guys from Southern Grist were in line since they were in town for Crider Fest. Not sure what they each snagged though.

Do you know how many of each variety were for sale?

There were about 20 each of Vintage and Blended and 25-30 each of Balaton and Fuzzy

No- I could have, but decided to pass. I already had a Fuzzy mag and traded it. I've had all of these beers out of mags before aside from Blended. Vintage 14 mag was the best, then balaton mag, then fuzzy mag. The vintage being in the mag really changed the beer- it was far better out of the mag then the small format. The others (balaton and fuzzy) were not very different in mag format than the small format at all.

While mag's are kinda cool, it's really a novelty item at best. My one friend got two of the vintage 14 mags and my other friend grabbed a Blended mag.

My buddy waited in line for that crap and got a fuzzy mag. He actually keeps, or trades and then keeps/drinks what he's traded for. I'd sell that fudge, but I also wouldn't wait in line for it, so I guess it's a nonstarter.

I would trade it... all day. Traded mine for four bottles of Fundamental Observation. No regrets

^FO batch 1 or batch 2?

And people bitch that KBS went up to $24 a 4 pack.

Codeblue · Tue Jun 27, 2017 7:36 pm

I'd gladly pay that (it's drinking quite nicely right now). Unfortunately a lot of places out here have it at $30 and up.

Looks like FO batch 3 is being released July 9th.

B2... Sadly I dont think I could get 4x B1, let alone find someone with 4 remaining. I've had B1 a few times and it's pretty great. Definitely not worth what it trades for now...
