FW Anniversary XI Hoarder

No and the "fundraiser" sounds like a total asshat.

 

1.) No
2.) No
3.) Something else very oxidized.

 

I couldn't figure out which was most-appropriate, so I picked all three.

 

1. Please don't call someone raising money for their own wedding a "fundraiser"
2. Buy a $100 worth of Parabola/Sucaba and feel good about yourself.

Cheers!

 

I dunno, I think the word has a delightful twist of irony in it. Especially for a guy who held onto a beer until way past its peak. Fortunately that will never happen with other valuable beers like BCS Rare or King Henry.

 

1. Hell F*ckin No
2. $20
3. Probably much more than its worth.

FW Anniversary blends are the real deal and right when they're released or just about a year or so after they're released, the general consensus is that they hit their peak. That being said, its also general consensus that these beers fall off very very fast. As is right now, over 5 years after the release date, I'd imagine that if you were to buy a bottle, you'd be spending $100 on a drainpour.

As for trade value, if you could search the old forums, you would see that FW 10 (the first in the series) used to go for wales. However, as of late, regard for it (and thus its trade value) has fallen off a cliff. The same goes for FW 11.

Sounds like your buddy's friend is the worst/most frustrating kind of beer hoarder. The kind that doesn't know when its time to get rid of their stash. You should tell him he's sitting on a pile of oxidized beer that no one wants at this point... and tell him "good luck with that".

 

It doesn't even qualify as ticking it when you know you're going to taste a glass of oxidized wet cardboard.

 

I can only comment on how FWXI has aged about as gracefully as Amanda Bynes, except one already is full of salt and oxy and te other is, well you know how that entendre goes. Would not recommend either to a friend and if you are wasted and want something faded inside of you, just use Craigslist and avoid the calories.

 

This is one of the more evocative beer reviews I've seen in a while.

 

you saw it here first, the first example of 2013ing.

 

"Gotta catch em all....POKEMON"

 

I'm not even sure that guy exists..... I demand a video of Robey Tones and baking sheets to legitimize.

 

I love you.

 

Tell your moron "friend" that a 10 just sold for 150 so his 11 probably isn't worth 250. And unfortunately the person that paid 150 will most likely be very disappointed.

 

Firestone Walker was/is selling FW13 for $125 at Barrelworks, so I would assume asking $250 isn't that far off.

 

Don't do it. We had a properly cellared XII about a year ago, and it was somewhat less than a shadow of what their Anny beers normally are, to be kind in a generously euphemisitic way.

 

How's Abacus batch 1 holding up? Drink now?
