    I have every bcbs since 2009, except Rare. I have some overlap issues as I am from chicago. I am a RS member so I get some goodies to trade from them. What would it take to land a Rare?

    Grey Monday? Whatever variant of Black Tuesday they make for RS members this year? Maybe a combo of beer going over $4$?

    Would agree here, I've seen offers of CR+ that most likely never got done. You never know though, make a ISO/FT post and see where it goes. Would probably take quite a bit to pry my bottle away.

    Since I have traded for more Rare somewhat regularly, here are trades that actually got done:
    CR b2 + BT'10 + BT'12 for Rare + good limited locals to even out $4$
    AftW + Cherry Rye + BCBCS '12 + 4pk BCBS for Rare
    CR b2 + BT '11 for Rare (this was a while back and this posting got no bites last time)
    I also had a trade for Barfly + BCBCS ('11 or '12) fall through recently as well that I thought I had done.

    I did ba speedway and chocolate rain b2 for ba old ruffian and Rare, 2:2, but that was at least 5 weeks ago when Rare was tasting way better, so I don't see CR+ or Grey Monday as being unreasonable.

    If you have an Avery label, just print a lowrez Rare label and put it over your 09 BCBS bomber, you just won the beer game. Achievement Unlocked: Screw FedEx +10 beer points.

    I'll trade mine and some others if you start talking Cantillon 1 offs I haven't had yet.

    Hey, I'm already hooking you up with FF! You just keep the PnB and Fantasia cool for me and stop stealing my ideas!

    If you find one of the few hundred people with a stash of Rare, you may get a reasonable trade.

    If you find one of the 4,000 people with one bottle, you're going to have to trade all sorts of lob-sided stuff to get one.

    I will do that trade again if you will allow me to substitute something for the Cherry Rye, as sadly I drank the last one.

    I just traded 4 Citra for a Rare with a very awesome BA in SoCal. I made up the $4$ disparity and beyond, then the guy extra'd me an '11 50/50 EC18. Some really great dudes out there.

    What if one of those Fou Foune's was replaced with a Saint Lamvinus?

    Just posted an ISO for Rare, but it doesn't look like I have the ammo to pull it off yet. Was hoping with a combo of Leon, Margarete, Crooked Stave beers and the rest of my cellar, I would come close, but doesn't look like that's the case.

    I have found it's better to not ISO it, but just watch FT's of it.
