    I was wondering how difficult it is to land it.

    Approximately how much is released? When? What has it traded for? (&c.)

    Spanks!

    I'm wondering this as well. I have honestly only seen it come up at the trading forums maybe one or two times during my time at BA and RB.

    From what I could understand from back when I was questing for all the RB Top 50...

    King Henry Special Reserve is released once a year at select few shops around London. About 500 bottles released per year. We ended up landing one bottle (18cl BTW) for a Hunahpu, Rare BCS, and Darkness shipping across the Atlantic.

    WHOAH... that's A LOT. Did you really give up all those beers just for one bottle? :S

    Yes.... I wouldn't say I thought... more that our tasting group did. It was good, would I say THAT good? No... but still good.

    Any other tales? (Ohsaycanyoubeer's was frightening.)

    I've been looking forever. I gave up forever ago.

    Mine was fairly difficult to get, I forgot the specifics but it wasn't a light trade.

    About a year ago, I traded Firestone XI, Brandy Eclipse, and Rosso Marrone for a bottle of Good King Henry SR.

    Any idea what time of year or what shops? I'm leaving for London on Monday, so...

    Still on the shelves in (insert England's most Kentucky-like region).
