    I have an opportunity to get the Obamagang tap handle. Can anyone tell me how rare it is?

    The one I can get is the Obama one that came out in 2009. There are two on eBay for $400 and I think $250. I just didn't know if it was that rare or its just people trying make a lot extra on it.

    I think that one for $400 has been listed for some time. I just got one in off of ebay in January for just over $50; description says it is from 2009.

    I, personally, never saw the Obamagang (Fed official name: Inauguration Ale 2009) tap listed on Ommegang's web store site but it's not like I looked at it every day either.

    To the best of my knowledge, that beer was only made once and was only available in limited distribution ("DC, NYC, Syracuse [?], Philly, Chicago and Boston" according to RB site). Just based on that, probably a lot fewer made/available than the usual Ommegang brews.

    General rule of thumb, if you can easily get it, it isn't rare. Usually.
