    Guys, help me out here, need some further direction about how the value of some of Pipeworks stuff might translate to stuff outside of Illinois. I've got a bottle of BA Murderous that I'd like to trade - any of the stuff listed below fair game for a possible 1:1 you think? I want to try some stouts typically not seen in my neck of the woods. I appreciate the comments!

    - Super Nebula
    - BBA Dark Apparition
    - Very Angry Beast (we might see this in Illinois but I personally haven't thus far)
    - ANTEAD
    - Bourbon Abominable
    - Pirate Bomb! (probably not but putting it out there for comments?)
    - BBA Resolute
    - Barrel Roll #3 Pugachev's Cobra
    - Mikhail's Odd
    - Fyodor's Classic

    @blue-dream is too kind. I wish I could help but, I don't have a clue. I am sure there are more experienced traders out there that can.

    Why wouldn't this fetch a Pirate Bomb? BA Murderous was one bottle limit almost everywhere, and the place I got mine (a big store that moves a lot of PW) only got a single case. As a point of reference, I traded my last Mexican Cake for a Bomb + Pirate Bomb; personally, there is no way I would have substituted a BA Murderous in place of the MC on my end. It's too good and was too hard to get. So think about it a little from the other end - for someone who is ISO BA Murderous, it's not going to be that easy to land, is it? There just aren't that many bottles out there. Hell, if I hadn't already drunk that Pirate Bomb I'd probably do the trade with you right now.

    Another option - just drink it. It's awesome. :wink:

    BA Murderous would fetch Pirate Bomb IMO. If it would fetch BBDA, it should fetch Pirate Bomb. Those have traded 1-1 before.

    I put a trade offer out there for PBomb! and got numerous responses back. This will trade 1:1.

    I agree completely! I'd add for the bottom 4:

    Yes
    No
    No
    No

    For more context on PNW beers. Super Nebula is very limited, brewery only, and you pretty much have to get a ticket to the brunch at the brewery to get bottles. Block 15 is tiny. Forr Bourbon Abominable, Fremont tries to produce their barrel aged beers in mass quantity and since they only distribute to Seattle and surrounding areas, it's readily available. Same goes for Kentucky Dark Star this year. The rare small batches they do are much harder to come by - e.g. Rusty Nail, 1st Nail, Old Bridge Rider, etc - but my suspicion is that they'll start producing these in much larger quantities now that they've expanded.

    Cheers!

    I didn't get an alert on the tag in here and even after the BM pointed me in this direction, I got distracted when going to reply that morning. Sorry it took me so long to finally contribute.

    Seems a lot was already covered here, I'll merely add that for any of the particulars, it just takes the right person seeing it. Thing about Pipeworks is that by now most of the people who have tried the random one-offs via trading for them have probably realized they are hit and miss. A barrel-aged Barleywine always has it's appeal, so you'd definitely have that going for you.

    No worries, I made the trade 1:1 for PBomb! which was one of my goals when I started this thread. Thanks, all!
