    Hi fellas,

    I am am a Bruery HS member with a collection that is approaching the limit. A great idea I had was shipping off a horizontal+vertical set out to a tasting group in exchange for a similar quality set in return. In my grouping I'd have:

    Black Tuesday 2012
    Black Tuesday 2013
    Black Tuesday 2014
    Black Tuesday 2015*
    Black Tuesday Rum
    Black Tuesday Madeira
    Black Tuesday Port
    Black Tuesday Reserve*

    *released in Oct

    As these bottles are all fairly pricey and some pretty hard to come I have been trying to figure out what would be a good equivalent to go after in exchange. I think I'd prefer sours but not sure where to start as far as an ISO. I've got 6 months to figure it out but I think for a trade of this size it would help to have it roughly worked out before the end of the summer. Anyone got good ideas of what to pursue for my tasting? I suppose I wouldn't need as tightly related set and could just throw up an ISO for DDG, CC, LP_, dG etc but I feel like 1) that is borderline auction, 2) it is pretty tough to find single people with several of those things they are willing to let go of.

    Thoughts?

    I can't even fathom the caloric intake of a Black Tuesday tasting like that.

    Ya figure 8-10 people and it is less than a bottle each; Easy work for a Thursday. Also why you re-hydrate with a case of Hottenroth.

    I bet if you included some diabetes meds as a + you could get something real nice. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Just give me about a days notice so I can arrange my ER visit right afterwards.

    Yeah you better call in a pre-approval from your health care provider. :slight_smile:

    I think in Europe you'd get a nice little Loon Box in return.

    I did a Parabola vertical tasting, BT, CR, GM, and a Dark Lord one. Never again. Too much, too sweet, less is more.

    I'd love to work something like that out. If you know a guy that knows a guy, please point them my direction.

    Cheers

    If you throw in an insulin pump I may be game.

    That would be one hell of a BT tasting. Good luck with the search OP!
