Are these King Sue "FT" threads for real?

For every over hyped beer on here where people are asking for an arm and a leg there are probably 5 local beers that no one has heard of that are just as good or better. People want what they can't have hence tons of interest in these kind of trades. Dont buy into the hype and find a local brewery that you can walk into and drink as much great stuff as you want.

 

Lol please don't turn this place into Talk Beer

 

Its true, TG is the only brewery in a remote location that produces a limited quantity of their beers.

 

And knowledgeable people about vintage lambic/gueuze....they suck too.

 

Why, just because you were able to get you trade done? Good for you. What lonewolfcry said still applies, all you fools who want this beer are going to downplay it's value but still think what you're offering is somehow superior and demands more than what it's worth. Honestly I'm surprised you got your trade done,.

 

Really? Its an DIPA (that is fantastic no doubt) that has been released before and now released to distro and is going to be rereleased on many occasions going forward and thus will be easier to get. It should trade w other similar released outstanding beers (and those from HF are perfect examples of this). The notion that the location of the brewery in Decorah (or Vermont for that matter) should add toward the trade value is petty and silly. And trust me I am as big of a TG homer as it gets as I have know and been friends with Clark for almost 15 years and he would likely agree ur notion is "foolish".

 

Wow...there are clearly 2 people in this thread I would never trade with.

 

Me?

 

And I'm guessing all 8 King Sue's are for personal consumption.

 

Ooops, now I feel bad for him . Either way, I hope everyone gets the beers they wish to try. Cheers guys,

 

Supply and demand 101, I guess $4$ or something close to reasonable just got a kick in the ass. Remote doesn't really figure, nor does driving time . I trade what I want for what I'd like , but I don't calculate in the incidentals.

 

I brought this up in another thread, you guys are cute referring to places down there as "remote."

 

Are you accepting guesses?

PS - several people asked about you at Freetail yesterday. You were definitely missed!

 

All the folks that invoke supply and demand do know that much of economic theory presupposes a rational agent, right? And a large part of these threads are actually addressing that very question - are these trades rational or are they insane? Being versed in economics, surely you've heard of bubbles where cost diverges from the value of the underlying asset. No one in a bubble says "I'm selling this for way more that its worth but due to irrational exuberence its what the market will yield." Not saying that's the case here but highlighting how shallow the "its supply and demand dummy" argument is.
