Crianza Helena for 50N-4E. fair trade?...(yes your opinion) They are doing the 50N40E again this year but its onsite consumption I heard. It also hit the states where Helena is retired and overseas at a restaurant.
Considering I find 50N-4E to be the superior beer, I think this is more than fair. If I had Crianza Helena I would happily swap 1-for-1 for the original batch of 50N-4E.
I would do it in a minute if my 50 degree was not spoken for already. I have only had Helena but my group has had both and thought that 50 was better overall.
For me, it's a toss up between the two as far as which is better and all things balanced out (price, age, availability, quality), I'd say it's a fair trade for both sides.
just saw it here..not confirmed http://beeradvocate.com/community/t...n4e-will-be-released-2012-13.1695/#post-41719
Are you trying to trade one of the three Crianza you've just got? I think if I have multiple of one beer and none of the other, I'll do the trade in a heartbeat. I'll get the chance to try new beer.
