What does Cascade trade for, generally? (NYC bottles seem to have…disappeared…) I know that "Oregon traders are so scarce" &c. &c. Also, what about these limited(?) guys: Bourbonic Plague, Sang Rouge/Royal, Vlad the Imp Aler Spanks. - S
We're not scarce, but most of us already have trading partners, so very few of us actually post ISOs. Cascade is trading gold imo, usually goes for $4$ of something relatively limited/seasonal. I traded a Sang Royal for a Cantillon Kriek 100% Lambic a few months ago.
You can have many of their bottled varieties shipped to your house. Right now I think you can get Sang Royal '09 ($23) and the Vine '11 ($17). Cascade does not ship to the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah. I don't think you can get their rarer stuff shipped to you and have no clue what it trades for.
There haven't been releases of Bourbonic or Vlad in 2 years. (October 2010, I want to say.) Sang Rouge was also released during that timeframe, and there are 2 Sang Royal's. The Sang Royal Project 2009 released last year, and then there was the much more difficult to find original release in 2008 (IIRC). I usually trade Vlad $4$. Edit: I also think there's supposed to be another release of Bourbonic and Vlad, but no clue when, and I could be mistaken.
Rumor is that there will be another bottling of Bourbonic later this year (it has been on tap a few times at the brewery).
Yea as of last week when I asked what was being released they said they already bottled Noir, Figaro, Apricot, and Strawberry. He then added that Bourbonic and Vlad will be bottled this year....
