me and a buddy have been on the hunt for 10' parabola to complete some verts.. Does anyone know what it might take to land a 2010? and if they are even out there? cant find any info from past trade threads. Thanks for the help!
Hmm hard to say. Being a California local going after a Cali beer you may want to offer some nice non local beers or find a non Cali trader to offer some good RR or Bruery stuff
I have an 11,12,13 and was looking for a 10 a few months ago.. I offered $35 in not rare rare, but not shelf beer and basically got laughed at. A few days later a trusted acquaintance told me they did the vert and the 10 was falling off hard(just his opinion so take that with a grain of salt.).... To put the "trade game" in perspective, I just seen a iso post TODAY... a guy offering his 10 parabola for some Heady Topper.... It all depends on who you know...and who you blow
I would hit that guy up with the 10 for trade. Perhaps you can pry it off his hands with something equally tradeable for Heady Topper.... or just conduct a three-way trade.
I traded BA 4 Calling Birds for a bottle. I'd say best bet would be a similar vintage of a similar beer like 10 Abyss or 2010 Darkness maybe? Or yeah for current beers you probably need to perhaps double what the parobola originally cost. Maybe 2x 2013 Parabola? Or better something that's local only.
Anyone who would give up their 2010 Parabola for 2x 2013 Parabola has probably been storing it in a warm closet and you're going to be disappointed in what you get. Anyone who has been properly storing it is either intent on drinking it as part of a vertical, or knows they can get more for it.
A few buddies and I drank 10, 11, 12, and 13 last year right after batch 4 was released and the unanimous winner was '10. Never understood why epistle say Parabola doesn't age well, cuz it's all subjective. Bottle variation (from storage) is probably large with this now. Good luck OP, I enjoyed the shit out of it and wish I had another.
