I was just looking up beers that I can't get but would love to try and I found this one: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/863/17442 It sounds right up my alley! Any idea what the typical value of this is? Also, any suggestions on what I may have to put up to get a beer like this? Is it super rare? I would love to try this one for sure. Thanks in advance!
I don't think they have bottled Perdition for a while, but you can find it on draft at their brewpub pretty regularly. Based on the Wants vs Gots on that I'd say you are gonna have a hard time getting a bottle, and it would probably be easier at this point to go for a growler.
Trading for a growler should be pretty darn easy. A bottle would be crazy hard. I think it was last bottled three years ago.
They don't fill sours. They fill non-sour belgians. I've done it. The same as it costs to ship 64 oz of non-growler beer, roughly.
I've shipped a growler of it before. I don't remember if it was $20 or $30. Probably just $20. Shipping a growler by itself usually costs me around $20.
Ok, looks like I am all set with this one. It's getting a little outside of my price range. $20 to ship plus the money I'm gonna spend on a growler = not worth it in my opinion.
Other option: expand your trade, get bottles going each way and make the shipping a little more economical.
