    I have been trading for a little over 7 months now. I have messaged some great people and shared many amazing experiences. I feel privileged to have had this opportunity and want to close it out with a BANG! I want to make a list of 5 beers and could really use some help. Here is what I have so far:
    1. VSB
    2. SHBRL
    3. KBBS
    4. Blabaer (Not 2013)
    5. ?
    I respect your opinions, so hit me with some goodness!!! Let the games begin!

    Cheers,
    Joey

    I ask myself that all the time, but personal reasons. Still going to drink through the cellar with the tasting group(s) though!

    Didn't you land VSB the other day?

    I was able to trade for VSB and SHBRL in the last week.

    Ah, so you're looking to determine what will make the ultimate tasting with what you have. Got it. Do you have an opening at the table? :wink:

    Everyone ticks everything at one grand tasting. Then the entire beer trading world collapses in on itself. I'm game!

    I'd take Blabaer off and go with Blauw, A&T, Zomer, or Cable Car '09 personally.

    Wow! Those are super whales! I have a CC '13, but I am guessing '09 is the best vintage of the bunch?

    Yes, IMO, '09 then '12. Should be able to get A&T or Zomer for similar bottles to what Blabaer trades for and they're both much better IMO.
