    Never say never but you have an uphill battle.

    There is almost no combo on your list that would get me to trade one of the beers in your ISO list. Not even a pick 10. But dont use me as the standard. Many/most of the beers on your FT list have seen distro in my area.

    I think this is correct. I would think this is going to be tough unless you want to give up $100's of beer.

    You should get together with people in your area for a bottle share, better chance of drinking some of those. You have some solid beers to bring to the table. JM2C.
    Good luck.

    I traded one of my DB Hunas for something equivalent to 4 of the tougher ones on your list, but that was before people started giving up everything they have for the beer.

    I saw your trade post yesterday, maybe the day before? The best thing you got going here is your 4-pack of BCBS; it may take 16 bcbs for one of these bottles

    OP, I think with a strong combination of Parabola 13, Parabola 14, Westy 12, 4 pack of BCBS, Chocolate Rain, and BA Kopi Luwak (Maybe not quite all of them, but maybe so) you should be able to pull a DB Huna. I mean that is a lot of good beer for one good beer. I personally would rather have the list I posted than the DB Huna! Good luck!

    Thank you for the feedbacks guys I'll work on trying to get better beers. I don't know if SD has any up and coming beers that might stand out in my list, I'll keep my hopes up and see what happens. Again thank you for the feedback. Cheers

    kopi luwak, chocolate rain, 4 pack of bcbs, the wanderer. That could land a DB maybe? But its tough call. the kopi luwak is for sure your starting point.

    Pretty much spot on, but only if the DB hype train slows down a bit. The BA Kopi is for sure the best trade bait on the list.

    You could aim for volume trades using SD distro IPA's. Apline and Pliny are always worth something. Otherwise, you're looking at stuff that will be hard to score even if you're in the area. Hoarder Society beers and Churchill's Finest Hour hold trade value.

    Up and coming, Societe's wild bottles will be gold whenever they are released. For good reason though, as I know once I get my hands on them, I'm drinking them.

    If you were prepared to do intl. trades you should be able to get stuff that would in turn trade for your wants (and a few to drink yourself). The downside of this is the expense involved.
