    For what it's worth, FO was a shelfie out in Cali and VB Truth is 1pp. You may want to reconsider your offer.
    Best of luck, OP.

    I'm aware but it's not a shelfie in MA. and quite frankly I had b1 give me truth with vanilla from 2016 and FO has always been a better beer, and with my experience with tree house stouts lately it's unlikely to change.

    You have no experience with BA TH stouts. This is the first. And it’s gonna be hard to get.

    give me truth was barrel aged and that was 4 years ago when tree house had been brewing good morning and base stouts that i'd actually believe would be worth putting into a barrel... spacetime continium wasn't that good as blend of BA tree house stout/fresh stout, neither was port tree of life. FO has consistently been better than any of their stouts in the last 3 years, including the draft only stuff that they jam adjuncts in but can never bottle.

    I, for one, am not particularly into TH's base stouts: flavorful, but sickly sweet. It's pretty tough to beat a beer like FO, but even if VB Truth doesn't shape up to be as good as FO, it will certainly end up trading for far more unless its ratings are garbage. VB Truth has a 1pp limit, only 1,400 bottles were made, and it is a much-loved brand that hasn't been released in years. If that doesn't scream "high trade value," then I don't know what does (maybe a lottery?)

    If you're in MA, just go get one. Unless you expect someone else to pay the fee of one case for the privilege of the bottle.

    unfortunately cant make it this week otherwise i would have. as a former tree house homer and having a lot of nostalgia for their stouts from years ago, i do want to try it. just a little bitter to having been mostly let down for the last 3 years by their stouts...

    Good things come, as they say, to those who wait.
