Proprietors Coconut and Backyard Rye

The problem is he's in Florida. If it arrives in one piece, a group of us have 2.5 cases of the 3 12 ounce formats coming from a friend who was visiting family down there. Cases just sitting around. In Philly and a little north it was gone instantly.

 

Ok I was saying the Barleywine was amazing, does that mean I am going to buy 10 cases. No, it means its damn good. The issue is these variants are being hyped like they are 10bbl batches not 10,000bbl or larger batches. There is alot out there. Thats what my point was.

 

there is a ton of Barleywine and base BCBS but not a ton of the others, which is what most of the hype is around
From one source:

plain BCBS = at least 1,400 barrels
Barleywine = 600 whiskey barrels
Coffee = 230 barrels
Backyard Rye = about 200 barrels (roughly the same number as Cherry Rye or Vanilla BCBS in years past)
Proprieters = 88 barrels

 

This is true. And given the fact that it has to last us all year, lots of people wanting the bourbon county goodness. BCBS and Barleywine aren't trading for anything crazy. Coffee and Backyard are just trading for what they should, smaller batch highly rated beer, and Proprietors is the one that is getting a lot of attention and some people are creating a monster out of it with their ridiculous offers.

The thing is the brewers said it themselves, the Coconut should be drank as SOON as possible. The fatty acids or lipids (or whatever the oils are called that coconut contains) are breaking down and will surely not last long. So anyone trading for Proprietors a year from now and putting crazy good stuff on the table for it will be the dumbest wits on the trading forums. That is unless they are going to put the beer on a pedestal next to their trophy chest and admire it for the rest of their lives.

 

it's a shelf not a chest

 

And thank you UPS for not sending us the case of BCBS and half a case of barleywine after you damaged the box that was packed incredibly well. At least the case of coffee showed up. This is why I ship FedEx. $100 for 6 coffees, yes please. GI just send more where it's needed lol.

 

Does this mean I can get 88 proprietors for my DBD? Barrel for barrel?

Nice to know the info. Can't believe coffee is so low. Barleywine was the hardest for me to find.

 

Auto correct!

 

Anyone trade a quantity of Proprietors for a Rare?

 

I thought i saw someone offer a rare for 3 Prop's.

 

I also saw those offers, and one person confirmed that they traded their Rare for 3 Prop's so it has been done.

 

it seems that the coffee was scarce in chicago so would a 4 pack trade for a proprietors?

 

Short answer....no

 

There's a whole pallet of regular BCBS at Castle Vav. Limit 1 4-pack per person of course. $22 each
