Russian River 3L

I was offered a BA Dark Lord for one, but I turned it down. I'd probably do it for 2.

Something brewery-only in the range of 100 bottles will do it.

 

My attempt on three different sites offering a 750ml Blabaer, Sour in the Rye w/Peaches and Grey Monday (all) only got one reply and that was someone offering a 3L Supplication. (Insert Bruery joke here)The 3L Temptation bottles haven't been available in over a year from the brewery which also plays into the lack of people looking to trade a bottle. Best of luck on your search.

 

I almost gave up a rare and a deviation for one. It was supplication, I too want one for my wedding this July. I want it more for the novelty, I have no problem giving up a rare beer plus locals to make up the price diff, but it seems everyone wants $4$ in rare beers....oh well

 

I have one and there are a bitch to track down since RR doesn't release them often and only a handful at a time. Imagine FFF releasing 5-10 DL 3ltr every year at $90 and ask your self wouldn't you want very limited releases in return.

 

I landed a Supplication batch 006 3L and gave up a Temptation batch 006 3L in return. Thats the only time that I have traded for a 3L.

As far as things that they trade for, my last trade involving 3Ls, I traded a 3L of Consecration and Temptation for Blauw and Blabaer. I'd say the novelty of the Blabaer was worth the trade, but I'd rather have a bunch of Fou Foune and St. Lamvinus instead of Blabaer in heartbeat. I haven't tried the Blauw yet, so hopefully it will blow my socks off.

As far as if they are going to make 3L Temptation again, I'm sure the answer is yes. On the last batch of Temptation (whatever the date is on those) they were only made available to the RR workers. So the last time that Temptation 3L were released to the public was batch 006.

I'm hoping one of these days I'm around when some of the employees want to open up their 3L Beatification or Compunction bottles that I know are out there!

Doing a search on this site should also give you a few results on other people that have asked this question on this forum as well!

 

But you have to drink them fresh! Part of the joy of the 3L is for extended aging.

 

Forgot to also mention almost all of the bottles are being traded by noCal traders. If you remember Beatification batch 5, enough said. (For the record, this comment and my location just guaranteed I'll never trade for one of these. ;-) )

 

They only release around 60 at a time, at least for the latest Supplication release, if I recall correctly, that's around how many they had. So they're out there, and from what I've seen in posts most people want to do IP trades with these bottles because shipping large and heavy beer seems to put people off.

Good luck OP!

 

The last release of 3l

Consecration-56
Temptation-30 for employees only
Supplication-78 (I think)

I'd imagine when the new batch of supplication or consecration is ready they will bottle some up.

 

You can get a styrofoam 3L wine shipper for it if you suck at packing boxes.

 

My experience has been that 3L wine bottles are not as tall as the bottles used by breweries, and so a 5/6L shipper is needed. Still readily available at Bottle Barn though.

 

Recently? A friend needed to ship on of his 3ls and checked there and didn't have any. I'm ISO of them this weekend for a Monday shipment. Bottle barn it is

 

Hmm, this was back in Feb., so not that recent I suppose.

 

I think I traded for a batch 4 Suppliction. I gave up 4 bottles of MOAS. Both sides were happy.

 

You can get them at K&L. Just have to give them a call as they're all in the central warehouse.

 

Thank you

 

December is a good month to open one.

 

In 2011 supplication 3L were available at RR regularly. They would put out 2 or 3 behind the bar and if someone asked about it then they would sell it, no sign or anything. I was with a friend and we saw a guy leaving with a 3 L so we asked the bartender if they were for sale. We each bought a 3L for $75
