    Hey gang,

    Lookin to find some Bramble. Just curious, how hard is it to trade for ( or how common/ rare is it ) compared with the other "special" goose island stuff such as BCBVS, BCBCS, King heny, etc.?
    Thanks
    Ryan

    I wouldn't trade anything crazy for it. It's good, but not BCS good. Just wait till next year.

    I loved Bramble. It was my favorite variation although Mongo was right, it seems like I may be in the minority on that.

    Personally thought the Bramble was garbage. This may be the first post of this strong opinion. (I see lots say "I liked it just not as much as the rest." Never see anyone bash it.) Only had it once, but I hated it. You would have to give it to me free just to get me to try it again.

    Again, just one guy's opinion. Not shitting on your thread. I traded early to get mine (close to the release). Pretty easy to get at that time. No idea now.

    another limited "shelf" beer with higher demand should do it, or an easier to get brewery release.

    as far as the other beers you listed, the only one it's comparable to rarity-wise is coffee. vanilla hasnt been made since late 2010 and won't be made again, and the value for KH seems to continue to go up.

    I would say that it mostly depends if they make Bramble again.

    I've had Bramble a few times. Personally one of my favorites. You can get bottles of it around the south suburbs of Chicago. I believe Maple Tree Inn has on-site bottles for sale. I walked into a couple when I was visiting a friend at college a couple months ago. Walked into a liquor store and they had 2 left so we gobbled them up. Like ^^ said, it really depends on if they release it again

    i had pretty negative feelings about it too...got to try it again today and at first thought i was a bit harsh on it, but as the sample went on, i realized that my feelings were still pretty down on it. that being said, i'm just one opinion/voice...many loved it. gotta agree that it is easier to land than other variations since it can be polarizing. these were made available locally to me today again and pretty sure they did not sell out, so converse with me and maybe we can work something out $4$?
