    I have a few almanac sours (cerise sour blonde, dogpatch strawberry, dark pumpkin sour and blackberry) I'm just not really in to sours and want to trade for stouts but not sure what to ask for them. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

    most almanac sours sit on shelves in Cali... but they're (obviously) harder to find in the rest of the country... I've received them as extras in trades a couple times honestly... I'd say $4$ with limited shelf beer is probably close to what you can get... just my two cents...

    I'll echo what @Kramerbarthomer said. I was looking for some Almanacs for a trade today and all of the ones you listed, except Blackberry, are sitting in quantity (along with others) at several locations near me at $11-$12 a bottle.

    They're usually ~$10-11 per bottle and have lately sat on shelves a bit longer with the new monthly release schedule keeping the supply plentiful. Older one-offs probably demand a bit of a premium, but the newer stuff (everything you've described) is probably more in line with $4$ limited shelf beers.

    They also start distributing to NY next week, so that's going to make the trade value in NY/CT/NJ/PA/MA nosedive. Still great beers, but don't have to trade for them in this area of the country anymore....

    Yup, they're getting distro in Colorado too now... pretty spotty, but we get them once every month or two

    I'm happy, but I'm sure the CA traders aren't.
