    Morning/Afternoon All,

    So I have the regular lineup going of the Xmas beers and I just locked down BBA 2TD and Trois Poules.

    What does it take to land a BBAPartridge?

    Please keep in mind I know nothing of bottle counts and have seen 1 trade ever posted for it.

    Any help/tips would be appreciated.

    Cheers!
    James

    Yeah, that's a super-rare one. Probably a similar bottle count to Ann, but four years ago.

    It was available to members but I dont think they had enough for everyone. The bottle count may have been around 240. For some reason that number sticks out in my head. It came out a long time ago but I doubt the majority of them have been opened.

    I did trade my only bottle a while back in exchange for a 750 of Blabaer and a Deviation. Not saying that is the current or even previous market value but that is what enticed me to trade my bottle. That and I am not a fan of the regular Partridge.

    I think it was 240 as well. The rest of the members received Bourbon Autumn Maple in its place, I believe.

    Total bottles yielded = 290
    Total bottles released to public = 250, 1 per person to the first 250 RS members. And yes, members who signed up after the first 250 received Bourbon Autumn Maple.

    Yeah, that's...not even remotely comparable.

    The funny thing is that the first year didn't even sell out, I believe there were only ~330 RS members, so 250 got BA PiaPT while the other 80 got BA AM.

    Like BA 2TD, BA Partridge is much much better than the non-bal. It is pretty good. I think a combination of organs and first born child would get it done.

    I still believe this was a fair trade on both sides and would recommend starting here:slight_smile:

    I got my bottle in exchange for a competition bottle of CBS prior to it being released. Now it looks like it lopsided trade, but at the time it was a good trade for both.
    Now it's going to take a great package to land one, particularly based on the above mentioned trade.
    Bottom line: If you really want one, the sooner the better. This bottle will only get harder and harder to land.

    Good luck :grinning:

    Wow you guys had the exact same trade. I guess this is what BA piaP holders are looking for.

    At the time, it was the first batch of BA Autumn Maple and the Bruery had said that beer would not be made again, so it didn't seem so bad. And to be fair, the first batch of BA Autumn Maple when it came out was absolutely amazing.

    The first batch of BA Autumn Maple was my very first beer from The Bruery....it blew my mind and I was hooked.

    I'd be willing to bet they traded with each other lol.
