    Some friends are trying to put together a tasting of the Eclipse variants. What will it take in a trade to land the Rittenhouse? Live in Mass, but can find a lot from both NH and Maine nearby.

    Thanks

    Depending on where, when and if you have room I could always bring one.

    I don't even think limited beer is necessary. It's so abundant in some areas. $30 in locals should get it done IMO

    If Jnorton is unable to make it, of course...

    Just got one in a trade (along with 3 other of the 2011 Eclipe releases), it was basically 1-for-1 with 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Vintage 2006. From what I saw of the price tags ($28.99) it was pretty comparable $4$ too, I gave about $26 each for my 3F bottles.

    This goes back about 6+ weeks but I saw several at Blanchards in Allston (not sure which varieties though).

    It depends on which year you require.

    i know a good percentage of BAs consider the Rittenhouse to be one of the best Eclipse treatments.. looking forward to crackin' mine soon. Good luck! (shouldn't be too hard to land)

    Which year are you looking for?
    I have a 2010, and pretty sure my local shop still has the 2012, we could probably work out a trade depending on vintage you're looking for

    I continue to be jealous of people who can buy OGV off the shelf.
