A lot of beer.... A buddy and I tried several times to land one it finally took a 14 Huna, and 12 and 13 Zhukov to get it done. All I can say is YES, it was worth it...
I traded an Oso Scarlett Letter for an Alpine Great, but it was also apart of a massive trade deal were both parties send 12 pack wine shippers. So keep in mind it wasnt necessarily a 1:1 situation for the bottle.
Similarly rare, similarly desirable beer? Seriously, that's always the answer. I traded a Matt for one.
I got mine from a great trading friend. It is still amazing and worth what it commands. I would love more
Whoa - that seems like you got a great deal! I'm also in the Matt for Great camp. Great question - do all bottles have the gold foil?
That is correct. As far as what it takes to land one, you just have to come across the right person. I recently traded one away as part of a trade for some Avery BA brews. I have traded a few for beers that might wife and I really wanted to enjoy so it wasn't about rarity for rarity or anything like that. It's definitely a great beer. Hope you can find one!
