    Is it still too early to really know what this beer should be able to trade for? Considering it was the first release and it sold out in minutes on line, I would expect it should trade well.

    Any word on whether or not this will be a rotating release from here on out, or if this is the only time it'll hit the barrels?

    Not sure if it is a one off or will be rotational.

    My guess is it would trade $4$ for shelf beers since it is not made by Goose Island :rolling_eyes:

    Honestly though, I can see this beer trading very well, have had a ton of PMs from folks looking to get a bottle.

    It's value is $32, exactly what you paid for it.

    Come on people! Quit trying to think some magical unicorn humped your beer, therefore it should all of a sudden be "worth" more than you paid for it.

    For one, I don't think trades are always as simple as $4$. Secondly, and maybe I should have been more clear, I'm curious what else around the country is on par both monetarily and quality wise. Lastly, people tend to "over trade" depending on what they value; not all traders wants and expectations are equal.

    It's one thing to accept some trade that's not equal $4$ because someone offered it to you. How's the saying go? A fool and his beer are soon parted? It's a completely different ballpark to add some mythical value to your beer and ask for that "worth" in return. Don't be one of those Prop fools.

    I'm not saying to accept $32 in Miller Lite for your BAVSS, but $32 of brewery only beer in return for your $32 brewery only bottle is what your bottle is "worth". I traded one of my BAVSS for (2) Jester King sours, which was completely even $4$, however, there's plenty of people in the JK Mafia whose head would explode from that trade.

    If you've never had it before though, I suggest you just crack it open and drink it. It's easily the best release from AleSmith. It won't be a one time release, but I'm guessing we won't see it again for a while. I'd have to imagine they'll do BA JDM and maybe even BA Kopi again first.

    What was the cost of the regular Vietnamese Speedway? (Not the recently released BA version)

    Sorry, Viet was $16 on release, and $18 during their library sale for SDBW.

    This. Try getting a KBBS, Mornin' Delight, Assassin at $4$. Best of luck. Limited beers simply have a higher market value than the number of dollars that were paid for them. Simple supply and demand economics.

    BCBS wise, I would guess Prop+ or Vanilla++.

    Regular Viet SS is phenomenal.
