    I had been thinking about this for a while and just saw the portland thread. I'm open to anyone coming from anywhere as well. I also have accommodations for a few people if they need somewhere to sleep. Just like the Portland thread, looking for big bottles that you wouldn't get to try just like the 2 listed below. Looking for 6-10 people total. We have a tentative 3rd but will confirm when/if they decide to join for sure. Would like to round this out with a couple stouts and a couple sours. Message me if interested, I think we are shooting for next Oct-Jan, don't want to do it when its too hot out, so we still have some time as well.

    Is a deal with the devil really that rare? Seems like it pales in comparison to the rest. I have a Westly but I'm not interested in either of the bottles that are already going to be there so I think I'll pass.

    B3 is, in trades it has gone 1:1 with Derivation and M, there were only 147 sold to the public out of a total 200 bottles produced.

    Is Westly really that much better than Westy?

    the last thing we need is some internet dweeb adding PNW beers to some non-comprehensive list of "whales".

    Ah that makes sense. Thanks for clarification.

    Is it... Any different than the other batches? Aside from being limited?

    So the story as I know it is that there have been 3 batches, batch 1 was draft only, and 2 batches that have been bottled, which people refer to as B1 and B2. They were both aged in Cognac barrels and most people agree batch 1 was much better than batch 2. Gabe, the head brewer took the last of batch one and aged it in a single rye whiskey cask for 3 years. That is what was released this year.

    How do these shares work? Everybody only gets like 2-3 ounces of a beer? Seems kind of silly

    Since I have only done a normal share I think its basically the same. I don't want to drink an entire bottle of a big beer or rare beer by myself, i'd rather get to try it along with a bunch of other beers I otherwise wouldn't have a chance to.

    Yeah drinking 3 oz pours of bottles worth hundreds of dollars seems kind of silly.
