Goose Island Cherry Rye Trade Value

Cherry rye would easily trade for a 4 pack of heady topper. $4$ is a little off as well on the Heady side. If you really want to try Heady I would throw up the trade and i'm sure you could negotiate more than 4 cans for your bottle.

 

Cherry Rye = 6 cans of Heady I think.

 

Or you could trade semi-limited locals for Heady Topper without giving up your Cherry Rye, just a thought.

 

If it behooves you to do this - two four packs is fair.

 

i wouldnt trade cherry rye for heady topper....my opinion is there are plenty of WC ipas out there that you can get fairly easily...however, there are not as many WC BA stouts out there that will match up to the BCBS and black note variants. ..you could get heady toppery fairly easily by offering some regular BCBS or some pipeworks abduction series beers....that smy rationale.

 

Or, you can choose not to over think things, disregard what others tell you that you should or shouldn't do, and just trade the beers you want to trade for the beers you want to drink.

 

Heady is great, but it seems silly to trade rare, barrel-aged beer for something that's year round at close to $4$. There are plenty of traders in VT willing to hook it up for similarly delicious year-round locals (i.e. Jai Alai, Gandhi bot, Zombie Dust, etc.).

 

isnt that why he made this thread? was to get some advice and ask about trading for heady topper? nobody is telling him what to do, just offering their general opinion...if he didnt want opinions, i am pretty sure he would not have made this thread.....

 

and I offered my general opinion as well

 

Well, If you have any more I'd gladly trade you some nice IPAs for it as well

 

the second bolded comment is pretty different than the first though. what it's worth (IMO) is a whole lot more than 6 HT. You probably could have traded it for at least 16 HT, honestly. Cherry Rye is a very hard to trade for beer.

for instance check out this post from yesterday which offered the following for Cherry Rye. it got done, but not even immediately.

2x BCBS (which I have traded for 4x HT)
2x KBS (worth at least 6x HT)
1 Cantillon Rose 375 (which I have traded for 4x HT, could have traded for more)
1x Uncle Jacobs (prob 2x Heady)

 

I got my cherry rye for a BA sexual chocolate.

 

too bad you traded a cherry rye to find that out

 

I found a generous trader with a CR for a BASC as well. I haven't had the CR yet, but it's not lopsided at all the BA Sexual Chocolate is damn good, and a brewery only release, and with less bottles. I would not trade the CR for 18 HT's, but then again I've had a ton of HT, and I get it twice a year in volume.

 

Is Cantillon Cuvee St-Gilloise for Cherry Rye fair?
