Hill Farmstead & International Trading

Good day everyone.

Lately, after tasting Anna and Arthur, and some of their stouts, I'm very interested in trying more Hill Farmstead beers. A regular trading partner of me shipped a bottle of Blueberry Flora and Sue towards me this week, which makes me very, very happy.

Now, I would really love to get 'regular' Flora as well to pair it with BB Flora on a tasting with a friend. I would also be much interested in E., Art & Ann, although I know these beers are very hard to acquire. Since I live in The Netherlands, international shipping is a must. Usually I offer good with Cantillon seasonals like Fou Foune. If someone has cool beers for trade I like to try and are ISO of Cantillon, I try to offer more of it than they would get state side, to make up for international shipping. Also for the fact that these bottles are less expensive over here (brewery hauls).
So 2 questions for you guys;

1. Would it be reasonable to try to trade for these bottles with Cantillon seasonals? Like doing 2-3 of the Hill Farmstead bottles mentioned for 5-6 Cantillon seasonals of choice? Considering shipping is usually around 70-80 dollars for 6 bottles, 3 bottles should go for 40-50 dollars I guess.

2. I should be able getting an Hommage or some of the 3F Armand Seasons (Zomer, Winter, Lente) of a guy who does not trade internationally but likes some American beers like BCBS and the likes which I can supply. If I'd add one of those to the list, would that increase my chances?

I know it would be rather impossible to find someone who has 3 of those bottles and also wants to trade for them, but an answer to these questions should help me figure out of trying to get any of these beers is a realistic option.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Mike
