Imperial Storm Trooper. What would it take?

are you looking for the next batch that is coming out shortly or one of the past batches?

 

I got a 2010 as part of a larger trade for some Surly 5 and other goodies. Getting some 2011 for some 2011 Darkness (bottle for bottle).

 

Imperial Stout Trooper is pretty easy to get in the area, although some places limit bottle sales- and depending where you are in New England you can get stores that only get a case or two. Those in the CT area can usually get more-- and someone close to the brewery might be able to get a growler fill (I know I did last year).

It's not terribly hard to find, so something tasty/local/limited should get it done.

I see you're in chicago- some bourbon county would be a good start.

 

do you mean Imperial Stout Trooper from New England Brewing? I still have a btl of '09 but the new batch is a couple months away at most, are you looking to set up a pre-trade or do you want a btl from last year

 

Also, this is a bottle that seems to have a price creep... I've paid between $14 $19 a bottle and seen it for as high as $23.

 

yeah there definitly are some stores out there that price gouge the shit out of it, definitly not fair to the consumer
by the way love the boot videos man, some of the ones you do are crazy ....CHEERS

 

well i live about 10 min from the brewery and i constantly check on the releases, when it comes out again i'll let you know and maybe we can set up a trade...CHEERS

 

Anytime...CHEERS

 

One of my first trades was for an IST and I think I gave up an Abyss for it.

 

its a good beer, maybe im saying that cuz i live in CT and i have had a crap load of it,but Abyss is one of my favorites, but the coffee and cherry vanilla IST are out of this world, sux they're only on tap though...CHEERS

 

It depends where in New England you are. I know my friends/family generally have trouble getting it for me, if they can get it at all. I guess in some areas it is easier to get.

 

I have a few bottles from the last release DM me if you haven't gotten a bottle yet and maybe we can work out a deal.

 

Traded for a few of these when they came out. I traded some RR sours for a coupld and i believe a couple RR Plinys for some others. Pretty much $4$ with limited or seasonal release brews.

 

Do the new bottles still have the storm trooper mask on the label?

 

Yes, but covered up due to C&D from Lucas

 

I thought the guy from NEBCO said this years would be 12 oz bottles. Is that a change from last year, and can anyone confirm.
