What will it take to land some? Not looking for any in particular, I've just heard so much about the brewery and I'd like to get my hands on some.
Interlude and Confluence should be easy to get. The Coolships (with the exception of Ghoulship for some reason), not so much. Pretty tough to land, think low bottle count, brewery only Sours/BA stuff as trade fodder. Good luck.
I think Ghoulschip gets lots of flack for being an announced release, a 10 bottle limit (not so rare...) and more so a "pumpkin beer" even though it doesn't even taste like pumpkins to me really.
You should have just asked me when I was in NC...I could grabbed you a bunch. This is of no help now, but I thought I'd make you feel bad anyway.
Definitely agree with this, since it was announced and with the 10 bottle limit it has a lower perceived trade value though it sold out before #160 in line. Excellent sour and really nothing pumpkin about it, great brew to get your hands on and you may not need to give up a lot to get it. The rest of the coolships you will need to give up more to get though they are also delicious and worth it. Personally I think interlude is a great sour from Allagash to start off with and should trade $4$ with off the shelf quality seasonals, usually released in the Fall.
Pumpkin isn't really the most flavorful fruit. In fact, a lot of 'pumpkin' beers don't even contain pumpkin - just the typical spices that go into pumpkin pie. Ghoulschip didn't have any spices added, so think of it more like a squash or potato beer.
