    Yes, it came in the mystery box. Some gems in the box, but most were over the hill/drain pours. They might be doing something on Sunday.

    I’m new to this. I just want to know how to post. I don’t really know how this reply will post.

    I just want to try some of your local stouts or porters. I’ll trade you some of my local stuff that I have.

    How hard is it to get some of the Fremont small format bottles? Three Matts, Ancient Ones, The Gauntlet, Inner Circle. Are they all similar value? I have a decent amount of SP and Perennial beers so could I get 3 with a Maman 19?

    I don't see them move very often, I think they are quite rare & trade pretty high. I'd think maman could probably pull 2 (+?) of them, probably depends on which ones. Don't think they've made the ancient ones for years, someone correct me if I'm wrong

    3 Matt's was for an exclusive dinner at Toronado Seattle in 17,18,19. Unfortunately one of the Matts passed away and Toronado is now permanently shutdown due. They are not difficult to trade for locally, but do think 3:1 for a Maman will be tough primarily because they are $35 a piece. If you offer a plus to even out the dollar, I think you could be successful. If you want to try them, search them out sooner than later as they will just become more difficult to find.

    The Gauntlet and Inner Circle are Heron Hunting Club beers - a once yearly event where people get an email to meet at the Fremont troll to get a ticket, if you have a winning ticket you get to your Fremont and you get a one off beer. Plus an opportunity to purchase things from Fremonts cellar. Both just trade for a Floodland TCE + Grails locally. So, I would expect somewhere around Maman 19 + BA fantastic voyage could land them both. It does seem they are harder to come by if you are shipping instead of IP trade.

    Ancient Ones were only brewed once, and as I understand will probably not be done again. Some have said they are now passed their prime. A dark star ancient one just traded for a medianoche Brewers select + b4k. Don't have any detail on the bbomb. This will come down to finding someone who has one and wants to trade it away. I do not think there are many left in the wild.

    This is excellent information and I really don't have a whole lot to add.

    With respect to the Ancient One, @jheimbigner is correct about the scarcity. It was only made one time, and thanks to the behavior of a certain other large, global brewing company, Matt at Fremont indicated he would almost certainly not be able to make it again (as the barrels he obtained for the beer are no longer available for his use). The beer actually saw some limited distribution, and was considered pretty spendy at the time ($25 for a 500 ml bottle was pretty typical). Nevertheless, it sold very well (both beers are outstanding), and as far as I know, is no longer available at any store, café or restaurant. Until recently, you would occasionally see bottles for onsite consumption and sale every once in a while (for various Fremont release events), and I was able to obtain a bottle as recently as a year ago in that fashion (which I drank on the premises; it was the Bbomb version). Personally, I thought the beer was drinking very well (it was a bit hot on the finish when initially released), and didn't feel it was in any danger of "peaking" any time soon. As I recall, I paid $50 for that last bottle of AO Bbomb version, at a beer bar renowned for the fairness of their prices (they could have asked $100 a bottle and my guess is it would have sold out just as quickly).

    The guys on this thread are much more knowledgeable about trade values and availability than I am, so take what I'm about to say with a few grains of salt @AlexIrigoyen. All four of the Fremont beers you're interested in are extremely limited and hard to come by, and my guess is that at this point there are very few bottles of Ancient One that haven't already been consumed. So finding someone who happens to have three of the four bottles you're looking for... I have to believe that there aren't many people left out there that have three or four of those beers (and are wiling to trade them). My point being, I think it's going to take a LOT of ammo to land them, and I'm not sure a Maman 19 will do it. Good luck.

    I assumed they would be hard to come by. I was lucky enough to have a bottle of Three Matt’s 2019 and it was amazing so I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for more Fremont limited bottles. Thanks for all the input. Those were extremely thorough answers.

    There are some extremely knowledgeable and well informed members who post in this forum/thread regularly. Even though I don't trade much, I like watching the posts in this thread, as I feel I learn more here than in any other forum or thread.

    Would TG Barrel Slayer for SARA West Ashley + Saison Bernice be fair on both sides?

    Others can chime in and correct but feel the SARA side is significantly short

    I think the Sante side is getting a deal here (and this is coming from someone who trades Sante). I’d think you could land 2x West Ashley without too much trouble, or if you’re looking for a bigger Sante bottle, Family Whistle b2 (trades above WA) + Beauty Sleep (trades below WA but above Bernice) seems about right as a 2:1.

    Thanks @Leftofthedial and @Thirst_trappist. No offer has been made either way as of yet. I have the Barrel Slayer and would prefer to stick around $4$ - the Barrel Slayer was $80 retail from Binnys.

    West Ashley has always been pretty easy to acquire for me. I've even gotten it as an extra before. I don't know if the value has gone up lately but I wouldn't be trading a one time limited BA stout from TG for it. But if that's what you really really want and Slayer is all you have worth trading...you do you.

    No prob. Those suggestions were attempting to go $4$ with TG’s pricing at the brewery, though if we’re looking at $4$ for that Binny’s price maybe like Family Whistle b2 + Cellarman + Bernice is in the ballpark 3:1
