What does it take to land a Blåbær?

2009 BA Speedway for 2011 375

 

One would think... But still no replies.

 

I traded a Vic Francenstien straight up for one (375 ML) right after the Vic release.

I don't get the hype on this beer. It's good don't get me wrong but there are better and easier to get Cantilloons out there. Just saying... I would proabably rather have the Vic at this point to be honest.

 

I agree 100%. I obtained mine, and have had it twice since. While it is nice to have in the "cellar", I would not trade for it again unless the deal was great. Tickers gotta tick though!

 

Yeah I am with ya. I have done my fair share of whale slaying and tickin in my day. Some are totally worth the hype and effort to tick (Cantillon Helena, Rodenbach Alexander, Still Nacht Reserva, Lorik ect.) and some are not (Dave, Blaaber, Partridge in a Pear Tree, 02/02/02 ect). Like lemmy says "the chase is better than the catch" for some people.

 

Can't decide if this is serious or not... but now I wish I had a Blabaer to trade to you....

 

I had an 07 Blabaer Batch 2 I think that was def. one of the best fruit lambics Ive had. And I guess Ive tried all of them.. maybe the 04 LP Kriek was a tad better but, I'm sure like most fruit Cantillon different years different beer
go get an 07

 

I know..easier said than done
and don't judge me but I caved and bought the 07 on ebay for a wale tasting we had last December I think.
I've bought one beer on the bay and that was it...gotta do what you gotta do

 

Man, how much was that? Every now I search "Cantillon" and think "who would pay $300 for a single bottle of Blabaer?" I hope it wasn't that much...

 

Blabaer isn't even that good.

 

I put up a FT with a list of beers (offering 3 from the list) that included these twice and received a single response. The one other time I almost traded overseas for Blabaer I was told it cost the BA $50. $4$ it seemed to work out. My friend contributed the Damon. When I posted the ISO it was never suggested, nor did it seem like I was offering up too much on my side.

 

$230

 

Rough. But probably not all that much worse than what you'd trade for it...

 

Wish i was able to make it to this amazing session. Your wife however sounds like an awesome lady.
