Am I delusional thinking this is possible? (Abraxas + Huna)

It's probably fair. Would take the right set of eyes. Some will tell you you're overpaying (I might be in that camp), but others will say it's about spot on $4$ (and I think it is). Problem you may have is finding someone that has all three. Worth a shot and all the beers you have FT and all the beers you're ISO are delicious.

 

seems like a fair deal to me..pretty close $4$ as well as rarity/desirability on both sides

 

Definitely fair...but not easy finding someone with all 3.

 

Everyone values beers differently and to me there is no way I'd trade my atrial bb biscotti and backyard for huna abarax and MC. If I misunderstood and your on the other side I would assume you'd get an inbox explosion if people with those three exist. But what do any of us know, take it to the I so:ft forum.

 

Reread your post and it looks like you are after the spiced stouts. I think finding someone with MC and huna should be fairly easy, finding someone with an abarax too will be the challenge.

 

My suggestion would be to post this a few times over the coming months. Be patient. Mexican Cake will be released again around May/June and Huna is being released this week. Abraxas is a shelf beer in a lot of places, so obtaining one should be fairly easy. Might have to do separate trades.

 

No, it's not. Next time you see Abraxas sitting on a shelf more than a day or two after it's been released, let me know...

 

Check the 'Post a Picture...' forum and you'll see numerous posts from people all over that happened upon Abraxas just hanging out, even now, months after it was released. I wish I saw Abraxas sitting on a shelf in NC, but unfortunately we don't get it. I simply had to trade for mine. And I didn't give my left arm to do it.

 

It once sat on shelves (here in St. Louis) for a bit, but not any longer. Those days are gone.

I don't know about other markets but Its sad I'm jealous of people in other areas seeing Abraxas as a shelf turd

 

It sees distro but gets snapped up pretty quickly. Abraxas will take some effort to land but it doesn't require the Herculean efforts, coupled to luck, that the much more limited brewery only releases require.

It's in that awesome category of desirable, delicious beers which can be traded for relatively easily with little angst or drama.

 

I was in DC for work recently and I wandered into a store that had multiple Abraxas, on the shelf and available for sale....for $50.

Then again, they had some sort of special display on the floor (fancy wooden shelving unit) that included Dark Lord (!) for $90 - regular DL.

And they have a window full of PVW in the multi-hundred to multi-thousand range - for all your tastes!

 

That was a fun night Mike

Scalper bottle shops aside, abraxas lasts about as long as BCBCS does on the shelf
