    Personally, I wouldn't trade it straight up for any other world class IIPA.
    It's the best anyway, so you wouldn't be gaining anything - IMO.

    You can get a lot of good shelf stuff.
    I just drink mine.

    I'll have to revisit it once it's released and really pay attention to the flavors. I've bought surly beers from time to time in the past and they always struck me as over rated

    CraigP83, I would agree that some of there beers might be over rated but Abrasive is definitely not one of them.

    Well Overrated is actually quite different than most of their other brews. Perhaps you should try Hell or even Coffee Bender?

    You mean a four pack of Founders Imperial Stout in recapped and rewaxed Assassin bottles?

    I've heard people trading 4 packs of Abrasive for 4 Packs for Heady or a Bottle(or two) of Pliny. I am not too in tune with the trade market though.

    I had no problem getting $4$ with Abrasive for Heady, Russian River, Alpine and other fun stuff last year.

    Trading can be a way to try out other world class dipas. I'd trade abrasive straight up for heady any day

    I've been saying that for years. And people get some serious butthurt when you tell them that.

    Abrasive trades for Pliney $4$ easily. Have done it several years running...

    Our Sources have said that it should be January here pretty soon (maybe next week) but the abrasive should be the first beer to be made and distributed from the new brewery so lets hope they don't push it.
