    I have been fortunate to trade some vintage (04) fantome for some of their stuff. Hope this helps.

    Unfortunately I dont have any vintage Fantome but it does help let me know I will not be trading for their stuff anytime soon (at least the bottles im looking for i.e Golden Canary and Figgy)

    Unfortunately, like so many other Oregon beers, the best way to get some is to establish a regular trading partner. The way to do this is unclear - I have a couple trading partners who I've known for many years (middle/grade school).

    The Block 15 beers should trade for comparably limited stuff in any case, brewery-only fairly small bottle allocation beers (not 100-200, but not Dark Lord level numbers) or older highly-regarded beers, such as the '04 Fantome stuff listed above.

    Block 15 is not worth trading for.... Yup, you guys heard me. Nothing to see here. Block 15 sucks. Nope, nothing here, go away.

    Especially Golden Canary. That beer is definitely not one of the best american wilds ever made. definitely not.

    Stuff is junk. Also, super nebula is a steaming pile of meh. Not worth the asking price!

    Wait a minute. I was told on this very website that, by law, Oregon BAs aren't allowed to trade beers from this state. Was I lied to or sumpin'?

    I'm in tears whenever I package anything from block 15 up. Often I have to open the box and remove it, I just can't bare to see them go.

    This is accurate, but the law is rarely enforced and there are exemptions. Fear not, though, I have a license for taking shipments of Oregon beers, so send away :wink:

    Block 15 combinations including GC and Imagine have been the beers to get me bottles of newer Drie Fonteinen Oude Gueuze vintage and Toronado 25. Both were offered to me, so results may vary.

    IMO, I disagree. I love consecration but I was lucky enough to try some at our recent tasting and it was yummy!
