Trade Value: 22oz Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter

i would guess that too few have been bottled to really gauge it as generally as you want. my rough guess is that the answer is "it's worth more than you think it is, but less than you want it to be."

that said, you'll get the real answer in the form of private messages soon enough. also, i'm sorry to inform you that you're opening a de facto auction, so i wouldn't be surprised if the thread gets reported/deleted (i'm not reporting it). in light of that, i'd counsel: don't take/believe your first specific response (e.g. if someone offers you sucaba or something), but don't ransom the beer like a dick. beer's for drinking, and trading's not about profit maximization (if you want to maximize profits, the appropriate place for that is at your job, not on BA).

 

is this one of those beers where the bottling is of questionable quality and the resulting product is oxidized or infected?

 

yup. people still will probably roll the dice though, since apparently this usually results in a win for the roller.

 

o, of course. confirmation bias runs rampant in the high-stakes beer trading world (wale street, as i call it).

 

eh, i don't know if i'd call "fb seems to have good enough sanitation that they don't infect their beers," confirmation bias. as for oxidation, i can't imagine their beers last very long, but there's anecdotal evidence that the normal and imperial porter do. (shrug)

remember also that the roller wins immediately if they're just trying to tick. of course, in that case they also lose before they roll.

Just a FYI ... The Last Snow was one of my all time favorite beers. I gave up a lot, but it was worth it IMO.

 

What asshole was on the other end of that one?
