how far off am i on BVDL what does it take

Unfortunately, Bruery bottles don't trade very high, wineification probably the highest, but the demand for them isn't what it used to be, which sucks because they are all great beers. But they are everywhere. No idea about the trade value for v014, but I see more FT than ISO so the demand doesn't really seem to be that high there either.

But post an ISO and offer up what you have, if you get crickets its not the end of the world. Never give up on your white whale though. But don't get too carried away in getting it either.

 

A buddy and I recently traded the following for BVDL:

-Pappy Black Magick
-'13 Fou Foune
-Evelyn
-Rum Barrel Oil of Aphrodite
-'08 Dark Lord
-'10 Dark Lord

'Hope that helps. For what it's worth, this took a while to get done and I only got interest from one guy (the guy I ended up completing the trade with).

 

That's actually pretty reasonable ^^^

 

Yep. No complaints here!

 

I agree with @mlhyatt in that its going to take beers not from the Bruery

 

Actually, trying to piece together an offer for this aswell (cantillon based).
For an intl trade I´d be interested to know what´s going to work...

Sorry if this is a hijack

 

@joromiller might have some insight on what it would take?

 

Id hit up @joromiller for advice through a BM. That man has probably drank every DL variant in existence, as well as traded for them. He'd be my "expert" if I was to phone a friend. GL!!

 

I think it's about 3.5 fou foune units. In other words way too much

I've wanted to try this beer but can't justify giving up 3-4 beers that are just as good

 

But you don't know for sure if they're just as good...

 

Well that's what thousands of reviews say

 

Having sampled it I completely agree with the above. It's nice enough but not life changing. Mind you that was after drinking DB Huna, a beer I would throw FF at all day long.

 

and a more serious response. you're right - I might love this beer. I might also be completely unimpressed and regret trading 4 beers I know I love for it. so that's why I wouldn't do it. if I had 4 beers hanging around I didn't want to try again (and traded high) then maybe I would consider it.

 

That's kind of where I was. I don't love Pappy Black Magick like everyone else does, and I've had Fou Foune a bunch of times. So, it was an easy decision. Wouldn't have been easy if I loved PVW BM. I still may regret the trade...who knows? The fun part will be finding out!

 

yeah so this part I get:

but this part I don't

and I see a lot of this - it seems people devalue beers after they have tried them - even if they liked it! to me I don't really care if I've hd Fou 100 times and I have 100 bottles, I still love it all the same.

anyways good luck

 

I don't think it's tough to comprehend why I would want to trade a beer I've had for a beer I haven't. I love Fou but am very confident I'll have it many more times in my life. I can't say the same about BVDL. I don't "devalue" Fou Foune because I've had it multiple times, but it makes it easier to part with one bottle.

 

Seriously Marc....having had it, I found it didn't live up to the hype for me. Don't over trade for it. Hell, I don't think it's as good as Grey Monday and it'd probaby take you 4+ bottles of that to get one. Lol

 

Grey Monday is pretty good but not even the best of the Tuesday variants and isn't closed to the save league as BVDL to me
