    Had one today and trying to decide if I should try and land another. What is the going rate for this these days?

    Rare? I remember a guy having trouble trying to get a Rare 1:1 when shopping a Beat B3 or BT'09 bottle. I'd think something in that range.

    I think a Batch 3 for a Rare is fair on both sides

    Eh, no way I'd trade an 003 for a Rare. I wouldn't trade it for 2 of them.

    *I have more Rare than Beatificaton 003*

    :grimacing:
    unfortunately hophead caught on to me in my quest to find that guy you referenced. However, now that I look at your source, he offered batch 5 and not batch 3. So booh you sir:flushed:

    You've been unable to trade an 003 Beatificaton for a Rare?

    It's still surprisingly good. I always thought this was less sour than 002 but it is still pretty sour. Definite grapefruit flavor but not like an IPA. Has a little bit of cheesiness in the aroma. I don't think it's any better than it was fresh or than when I had it two years ago but it seems to be holding up just fine. It may be slightly be more sour these days.

    Not sure why rare seems to be the only thing discussed here but it doesn't matter because I don't have a rare anyway. Any other beers that you think might land another Beatification 003? Armand '4 maybe?

    I just had batch 2 and 3 and while they are both great, batch 5 was my favorite. I'm guessing it would take a DDG level beer to land an 003.

    Don't have that either. Would a rare lambic do it? Would it take like Blabaer caliber lambic?

    I would say a blabaer would, or CC12 or >$4$4 on highly thought out loons

    I'd think you could get one without giving up a Blabaer or CC'12. I'd think a 375 Blabaer would snag one quite easily.

    Probably something like a Lente + or a Fou Foune + St Lam (or LP Kriek/Fram/Gueuze) combo.

    I doubt it. I would do that instantly which tells me it wouldn't happen

    Yeah, who knows, lol. I'd think long and hard before giving up a St Lam and Fou Foune for a Beat B3, especially since I'd probably be able to snag 4 bottles of Beat B5 for those loons.

    I think the trade value of beat B3 really hinges on the novelty of the 750ml format.

    Batch 3 took me forever to land. I got one last year for a Black Tuesday, two Weyerbacher Reserva, two Temptation and I gave the guy a Batch 5 after it came out, albeit much later. Black Tuesday was his biggest want.
