I have been trading beer for a little over a year and I have landed some pretty big [less than white whale] bottles. So, I feel I have a pretty good handle on what it takes to pull certain bottles. However, I have turned up empty handed from multiple offers lately for Murda'd Out Stout. If I could land a RARE for a BT, WC, and CBS, why would a combo of CR, WC, and a BCBS variant (for instance) not attract any attention for a trade for Murda'd Out Stout?? Thoughts?
Its Rare, 50$, low bottle count, was brewery only and its FFFs that about sums it up IMO. But have faith, i traded one for a CR and BT so it can be done just need to find the right pair of eyes to see it. Good luck OP.
I also don't see anything wrong with your offer. Of the two bottles I bought, I did trade one for a similar offer at time of release. I do wonder how much of it was moved back then and how many have little interest in moving the bottle they kept since it's A) Excellent and B) a true one-off. But, your post raises an excellent question of what a Murda'd Out owner would want... I know I wouldn't trade my last one for a Rare.
Bruery = not wælz. FFF BA = wãłēz. Hope that helps... Oh and according to anybody who knows anything about trading knows CBS has reportedly fallen out of orbit. So you may need to step it up with a vintage BCBCS or Peche Mortel...
I have one bottle that I bought with a couple friends so not planning on trading it. I wish we would have bought more bottles since there were 3 of us but at the time there were only 2 reviews, baller stout didn't rate that well, and it cost $50. It sat around for a while so I think that is why people trying to trade for it think it should be pretty easy to land. I wouldn't trade mine for a Rare. Like mentioned above, Murda'd is a true one-off so this will be my only option to try it. GI just had a couple events a couple weeks ago with Rare on tap if I really wanted to try that.
Funny how beers get so much tastier once they stop becoming readily available. OP, this one was at FFF for the better part of a month. Yes it was pub-only, but people were able to get as many as their hearts desired. I bought 4 over that period of time. Drank two of em, traded one for an Alpha Kong (yet another generous BA) to throw in a box as a surprise, and the other was a modified gopickitupforme for an extremely generous BA. I havent had it since January, but can attest that it was pretty damn good. That said, I wouldn't sell the farm for a bottle.
It is not an easy thing to let 3 big beers like CR go to trade for a single bottle, but the decision to do so is based on the regularly discussed topic of beer value. I particularly want to get ahold of a Murda'd Out bottle so I can try it next to the Baller that I finally managed to get. Also, the way I see it, one-off bottles will only gain value with age so my best bet may be to work to get it now instead of waiting.
I agree with this. Most people won't agree, but I had both within a week of each other about two months ago, and I enjoyed Murda'd more.
As much as I would like to get ahold of another RARE, I didn't think it was that much better than the 2008 BCBS that I drank next to it. I expect that Murda and Baller will have much more complexity than RARE and BCBS.
I was stupid and didn't go to FFF to buy it because of the price tag. The tasting group threw in to split one, and once I tried it I traded for 2... Drank one with my bro when his daughter was born. 1st- traded a BA Kopi Speedway and Event Horizon 2nd- traded Bramble Rye and 1414 I think this is worth $50, and wish I had more than 1 left....
Baller is getting better, but this beer isn't BA Baller. They barrel aged the components and then blended....
After buying one for my tasting group with Moser, I too regretted not picking one up for myself based on then price tag, especially with how long they were available. I did end up trading for one but I wish I had more. So good. I traded a BCBVS + KBS ip at DLD this year.
Apparently not wãłēz enough. Their 400 bottle, $50 1 per person bottle cant even land a 2000+ bottlecount, 2 per person bottle that costs half as much. http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/iso-murdad-out-stout-ft-brandy-huna.93724/ maybe if someone kicks in another 2 bottles to hit that 3x$4$ sweet spot, then it would be walezworthy.
Sorry man, don't hate the bro hate the bruery. This is a fast game that's constantly evolving, I gots the baker-like precision. My measuring cup is never off.
