    Any ideas? I have 2, would prefer to trade them for something I want more but no idea what these go for.

    Honestly, not much. These beers need A LOT of time on them (10+ years) for anyone to have really any interest.
    However, being that the brewery no longer exists, that could change. What I would suggest is holding on to them and if you can, find earlier vintages of them. Probably the best beer you could ever have, in terms of aging. I had a 1999 last month and it was incredible; the best beer I've had in a long time.
    Hope this helps!

    IIRC, I think that 08' was the last year that it was made, so chances are it is the most abundant vintage around. I wouldn't expect to get more than face value (~$11 if I'm remembering $25 a 4 pack correctly).

    It is a great English Barleywine though...I've cracked an 08' recently myself that a buddy sent as an extra, so you shouldn't have a hard time offloading them. I'm sure it's not currently available anymore in many areas.

    Cheers

    whut did you pay for 'em? BOOM there's your trade value. Want to trade up? check back in 10 years.

    Silly good beers in 10 years time. If you can wait a bit (as in over 5 years) the value will increase like the older vintages have
