    Anyone traded or traded for this recently? I'd like to get a few bottles but don't really know what they've been going for. Just trying to do my homework. Cheers!

    $4$ should get it done with harder to find locals I would think. I see it every now and then on shelves. I am not too familiar about trade value as I just drink the ones I find :slight_smile: Drank an 07 about a month ago and it was sublime...

    Best of luck!

    I don't think I've ever seen them on a shelf in the Bay Area (Toronado has some in their cellar, but that's true of A LOT of things). It's weird that this seems to be the one gueuze everyone gets but us.

    I gave away 2 bottles of 2002 recently, one in an LIF with other Gueze and one to a local trade partner who loves that beer. Great beer and should as mentioned trade $4$ for other quality beer to people outside the distribution.

    Is the kriek mariage as attainable? I got the geuze in Japan and was very impressed. I think it was a 2004. They also had the kriek, and I'm regretting not picking it up.

    There was a big discussion thread about that beer on the other beer site... if I remember, it is actually the same beer as the regular kriek is now.

    Other site is down so I can't search, but I can say that the 2008 MP Kriek isn't anything like the Oude Kriek from Boon, nor the regular Kriek either. Not sure if there is a more recently labeled version?

    Edit: Forgot the obvious- MP-K is 8%, Oude is 6%.

    On MP-Kriek, did a quick check- of the 3 places that I know that carry it online normally, only one is showing it in-stock, which is West Lakeview Liquors.
