I'm looking to assemble a variety of 18th St bottles for a tasting in September and would like to include some of the more special, more limited stuff. By doing some poking around, there doesn't appear to be much out there and posting an ISO:FT may not even get noticed, (limited audience). I'd like to get some thoughts on how limited some bottles are, i.e. Bitches Bank, Bitch B Crazy, Vanilla Hunter, Coconut Hunter... maybe some I haven't even heard of that should be included on this list? Thanks
For the Barrel Massacre bottles (BA Brown, BA Hunter, BA Devil's Spear, BA Bitch B Crazy), all were available for purchase that night. However, you could only get the BA Brown & BA Devil's Spear at the brewery at the event (the day before Dark Lord Day; might've sold a little afterwards, but not sure). The BA Hunter and BA Bitch B Crazy saw limited distribution and, at practically all stores, were limit 1-2 bottles per person. Most, if not all, of the Hunter variants do see distro, but it's also pretty limited. Much easier to find it on draft around town than in a bottle. But, that doesn't really help you being in California and all. The Sour Note's stuff (side project of the 18th St. people) and things like Devil's Spear, reg. Hunter, Devil's Conclave, and others are a little easier to get (right now, Devil's Spear seems to be the one that's available). Hope this at least somewhat helps you out. If you have things for trade, make list here and I'm sure someone will see it. I've got some of their stuff as well.
