    Anyone have an an idea on what it might take to trade for a KtG? This was something I lusted after when I first got into beer but never sought it out.
    So, I figure I better get on that before their availability dries up completely. Don't really care what vintage, but I would thing the 2012 would be the easiest.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Stay away from the 2009 its widely believed to be infected or just have a very off tart/sour taste.

    There's one for trade right now++ for a DB Huna. Not sure if that will get done though.

    Thanks for the heads up. I will keep that in mind.

    Thanks for the info.


    Would something like Wild Peach or Grimm Vicar be close?
    And is there a big difference in the trade value between the 2011 and 2012? I know that one is a bomber and the other is a 12oz, but if there is not much of a step up I would try for the 2011.

    I traded for a 2012 about a year and a half ago. I think I gave up a Hill Farmstead Arthur and Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus. The guy was super generous though! Best of luck!!

    I drank an 09', 11', and 12' last year and they all were tasting great. The 09' was actually the better vintage, though maybe the bottle I had wasn't "infected"?

    It's best fresh - wait for Tod to start brewing it again (under a different name of course).
