    A local bottle shop just released their rare bottle list. I highlited some of the good ones.

    Apparently a vintage bottle of Abyss is worth more than twice it's original price with a whole 6 months on it.

    And a 2009 BCBS is a "serious white whale".

    Sweet. Just between my 2010 Jubel, 2010 Ivan, and Berserker I've got $150 worth of beer in my cellar! Doesn't even count the 4 year Abyss vert.

    This is a crazy list that is way off base for the most part.

    Interesting, another thing learned today.

    Have you tried any of your aged bottles yet?

    No, but honestly I grabbed them for possible trade value. Who knows, maybe will try at some point in time.

    For the same reason Bigfoot is cellared?

    Jeebus, those prices make Apex look cheap. According to that list, my girlfriend and I drank $104 dollars worth of beer yesterday: 2009 Mirror Mirror ($29), 2012 Abyss ($33), and a Double DBA ($44).

    Speaking of which, if anyone is looking for Double DBA we still have a bunch at the station for $14ish. There's also plenty of Rasputin XV all over Portland for $20-22/bottle.

    Wonder what I would get if I sold them my 06 Abyss, or better yet, both of my 7 year verts. LOL

    If a 2009 BCBS is "extremely rare," I wonder how rare a Rare is.

    Fuck that place. Fuck them right in the ear.

    I was just going to say, there's still a bunch at Belmont Station. I

    An another note, how much does Bourbon Angels Share retail for? A trade partner sent me a bottle (Thanks Matt) and as grateful as I am to have had the opportunity to try it, it wasn't good at all. I would be really disappointed if I went to this place^^^ and bought it for $40

    Friek isn't too far off at $25, is it? I think that's the only one I would consider buying off the list.

    Even for restaurant prices that is expensive. Shame on them, but it has been proved time and time again that people will buy incredibly high priced desirable.

    I bm'd checktherhyme as to not publicly call the shop out on the forum.

    You kind of called them out by posting this. All I did was put quotation marks around some of the text from your OP and clicked "search." Even more, they called themselves out by putting this info on their website, for all to see. Clearly they feel they have nothing to hide.
