    If I traded away a mini-vertical Dark Lord '12-"14 in exchange? I've got some peeps coming in from the Midwest who would be impressed as HELL if they walked in on some HEADY ready to drink on Saturday Jan 17th! Thoughts anyone??

    You should be able to get close to a case for three Dark Lords, they were $25 per right?

    A four pack of heady per dark lord is what I would expect. Even that might be tough.

    Looks like 12 and 13 was the same price just different rations

    I stand corrected, thanks for the info.

    Personally, I'd still expect more than 4 heady for a DL. Heady is a great beer, certainly not some mythical beast.

    Ask for a case and throw in some locals to make up the $ difference.

    If it was me I wouldn't trade one Heady for a DL, to me it was just a good beer, and Heady is better. Rarity does not always equal better.
