How many cream ales for a BCBS vertical?

I would be interested in doing something like this $4$ (maybe with another "off the beaten path" style) but under some stipulations:
-has to be something I haven't had/reviewed before on the Top 50 of the style (can send list)
-the more the better, meaning quantity over a few high priced bottles

Basically I wouldn't mind a tasting of a bunch of the same styles that I haven't already done before. Would anyone care enough to help me out? I don't think that would classify as an auction right?

 

Depends how many you could send me.

And they have to be somewhat fresh too. I don't want any 3 year old kolsches! Haha.

This is all hypathetical. If people are interested then I'll create an ISO.

 

Thanks guys. I've had BCBS a ton and maybe some hasn't or hasn't had it with a few years on it. I'd just like to try new beers. Now, I'm going to have to figure out whether to shoot for cream ales or gruits

 

I agree it's catching people off guard but that's because no one does anything like this (read: walezbro).

Cream Ale is/was just a hypothetical style, so I will roll with that. I'm not concerned with what it's BA score is as long as it's a quality example of the style. Here is an example ISO:

I would like as many off this list as possible. I know that cream ales (or, insert style here) aren't the most common, that's why for your effort in hunting them down (fresh!) I am willing to trade a 5 year BCBS vertical at $4$. Yes, Bourbon County for cream ales $4$.

 

Not trying to be a jerk but I think you missed the point.

 

Not particularly interested in Jack Straw or any of these really... as this was hypothetical... as stated twice earlier.

My question was whether people would understand my request/ISO, which from what I've gathered by people commenting on things that have nothing to do with the information I've put forth, the answer is no.

Oh well. Maybe I will get better at explaining things someday and other BAs will actually read what needs to be read.

 

Thank you. This is the type of information that I am looking for! Now I may need to work on my explanation, maybe just link back to this thread. I agree it may be tough to hunt down more than a handful of a particular style so I may have to pick one that may be on the easier side. I'd like to think vintage BCBS, especially to someone just getting into craft, would be incentive to do a little local legwork looking for a not-so-popular style.

To answer your question, 5 years. From '08-'12. Thanks again lucas1801!
