Im curious about the value of different vintages of Beatification. I have been trying to get a B3 because i like the 750ml format bottle but no one seems to want to trade for 2 B2s? Its the same volume of beer, its an older batch, my thinking is it would of got done right away but i havent got any responses. What are your thoughts?
A year ago this trade would of probably worked, I saw a few take place. Now everyone is going apeshit over the B3 because everyone on the forums has claimed it has aged better (YMMV). If you go to ebay, they sell for nearly the same amount, so there's that black market option. B3 is now as "rare/valuable" as B1 it seems because I got zero response when I offered a Flaming Fury, Adam from the wood, and Kuhnhenn BBBW 10'. Having had all these beer before, I'm glad nobody took me up on my drunken ISO:FT post. When Rare first came out I had a friend that offered a B3 and everyone posted in the thread how generous it was (the trade was completed)... Now I'm pretty sure you couldn't trade a Rare straight up for a B3. If I had a B3 I would gladly trade it for 2 B2s, but alas I do not.
What this guy said. B3 has been accepted as a better vintage and it's also twice the beer. Maybe a 3:1 would work but like you said, black market is an option. It's probably the most efficient way to get what you want at this point without offering more B2s
I thought people were going after B3 because it was easier to share a 750 mL. I must have missed all the talk about which vintage was best...
