Cherry Rye...am I that far off?

Im sure this will be of no consolation to you, but if I had another Cherry Rye I would without a doubt take you up on that. I traded my extra bottle straight up for a Hunahpu.

 

Cherry Rye isnt good. Keep your beers.

 

I think the rarity of it is much greater, but that is a decent offer. I just have a feeling most people could get the beers your offering fairly easy and not have to trade the cherry IMO.

 

After seeing what Cherry Rye has gone for, I pulled my lines out of the water.

I definitely want to try it but I'm not willing to give up what it takes.

I guess being a potential one-off has made it's trade value skyrocket. King Henry II?

 

Could be you got buried in the mass amounts of threads. Good job and landing it. I would make the same offer

 

You probably got buried in the tons of ISO: Cherry Rye FT: '13 Hunahpu posts man.

Glad you got it done.

 

I think you could have easily gotten it done in the other forum if you had phrased it as you did here. Your ISO:FT just has a list of the beers you mentioned here and that you wanted to go $4$ or a little over. And since the Cherry price has been all over the place, that might have seemed a little vague to people. A simple "3:1" in your post would have surely gotten it done. Congrats on landing one.

 

Trading volume for perceived rarity is always a tricky endeavor. Glad you got it done though. And yes, ISO/FT is a complete cesspool - I only periodically even look there anymore, just to keep a pulse on what is out there.

 

You mean to keep a pulse on what the weekly mid-west shelf walez is, bro.

 

This

And this. There are some real jackasses around there lately.

Glad to see you got it done, that's a solid offer for Cherry Rye, IMO

 

cherry rye is a limited offshelf beer with thousands of bottles distributed to several states, you are offering over 2x $4$ in offshelf/limited beers, i think your offer is beyond fair, inevitably someone from the Chicago whole foods is gonna come up in here with a blankie straight from the dryer tears welling up in his eyes talking about how Cherry Rye was impossible to get and should trade 1:1 for CFH13 and BA Abraxas,

so let's just wait for that guy to show up.

 

sounds like it is only fair to get together and open a cherry rye with your hunah? and another 10 or so beers!

 

That sounds very fair...it is sitting on a shelf waiting patiently to be opened

 

Just don't do what we did and open it next to Cherry Adam, or other fruited masterpiece, or its inadequacies will be revealed. I realize they are different styles, and Cherry Rye IMHO is a very delicious beer, but not as stellar as its trading value would imply. Trying it next to a masterpiece really points that out. Rare and BCBCS are both far superior, regular is nearly as good.

 

Not sure if serious.

 

Just to clarify, I have the Huna, not the Cherry, lol. But I completely agree with you. I enjoyed Cherry Rye, thought it was excellent, but, IMO, by the second half of the bomber the cherries started getting to be too much for me. The best way I can put it...I have put down 32oz growlers of Coffee and regular BCBS by myself and was sad to see the last drop go, but would have been more than happy splitting my bottle of Cherry with one or two other people.

 

Very serious.

 

maybe i'm just biased by what i've been able to find on shelves, but i'd call everything but the bigfoot total lowballing, and the BA bigfoot lowballing yourself. that said, i never found cherry on the shelf, and didn't think it sounded good (could have bought at rattle n hum but too expensive for a beer that, again, i can't imagine is better than regular BCBS).

 

If it helps my last trade was 2 Capricho Oscuro for a cherry rye

 

Only if you invite me too. Though you guys can drink the Cherry Rye yourselves, it was practically a drain pour for me.

 

offering all is just quantity for rarity, but BA bigfoot just seemed harder to get since so spread out (remember the rationalizations for why any founders or GI beer is "rare"?). every other beer you offered i can't imagine needing to trade more than popular local seasonals to get.

 

there must have been pockets of it being easy to get, but in MA, CT (offhand i don't remember if it was even in CT) and NYC i never saw a single bottle of cherry. i actually didn't want any, but i'm sure trading partners would have liked. (sorry to keep shitting on it; i'm sure it's a great beer, since GI can't really do wrong with barrels, it just sounds like a strange treatment to me, like bramble)

anyway, of course as long as both sides are happy that's all that matters. peanut gallery and all that.

 

Problem Johnnyramirez = you are on the West Coast (like myself) looking for a Mid West semi whale bottle...just wait till Beat 6 gets release then maybe you have a chance

 

you have an open invite

 

I got 7 bottles this year (i live on long island,ny), traded away 3, drank 2 and am saving 2. i drank it side by side with bcbcs and bcbs and would rank them
1. bcbcs
2. bcbs
3. cherry

 

rare is in the mail so i'll probably do another tasting with the four

 

Try trading for Vanilla...

 

Not sure about the end closer to you, but Cherry Rye was all over SE CT.

 

Like you Sr...we are both Noobs (you have a 12 day older join date ) to the trading game...all I can say, build trading partners!

 

so your the one! rather than compete for beer in the same place, we should share beer.

 

Nice! now go find a Chicago one
