Trades with A&T

A&T has gone up in value a lot in the last year. I traded a ddg + VR + huna for one and then a non beer item 1:1 for it but I can't mention what it was or my comment will get deleted.

People are really trying to hold on to them.

 

Like a month or two ago.

 

I traded my extra one for Hommage, but that was last year when I had 2. Now that I only have one I wouldn't even consider trading it.

 

1:1 with DBH a few weeks ago.

 

I just traded an A&T for framboos '14 + fou Foune' 11

 

I traded my A & T for Atrial Rubicite, Biere de Blanc du Bois, Colour Five, Aurelien Lure, and Omniscience & Proselytism about two months ago.

 

I wont tell what I traded my A+T for because I'm embarrassed. Hypetrain ran me over. Dude did send some good extras though. It wasn't his fault I was an idiot.

 

I traded an A&T+ for a '15 BVDL. Plus was a Casey Saison Magnum that I got with an Equipoise magnum. I plan to open an A&T soon for the first time. If it doesn't blow me away, I may hit you up to see if we can work something out.

 

A&T for ~8 De Gardes, most imperial bu's
A&T x 2 plus De Garde marion bu for CC '13, LP Gueze '07, LP Kriek '07, 2 Fremont CC B Bomb, 1 Fremont Dark Coffee star
A&T for Cognac Coffee DL
A&T x 2 for Crianza Helena (I believe)

I also offered this recently and got crickets

FT: Hommage (B2 x 3) for A&T x 2

and

One A&T for one line
Hommage B2 + Vanilla Rye
Hommage B2 + BA Cellarman
Hommage B2 + Farmers Reserve 1-4

2 A&T for one line
3 Hommage B2 + BA Cellarman or FR 1-4
2 Hommage B2 + Vanilla Rye + BA Cellarman + Farmers Reserve 1-4

3 A&T for
3 Hommage B2 + '07 LP Framboise + '10 LP Gueuze + BA Cellarman or FR 1-4

Good luck, let us know what it took if you get one.

 

OK. What the hell is A&T ??
I looked around for the acronym. Nothing. Google image resulted in seeing
mostly 3F Oude Gueze...


* Note~ I am not a whale hunter.

 

3F Armand and Tommy

It is an oude gueuze but underneath it says Armand and Tommy. I believe it was a gueuze collaborated between 3f and tommy from lost abbey.

 

ahhhh thanks guys.

 

Just an FYI, it was never distributed in the U.S. It hit Canada, parts of Europe, Australia and Japan? in pretty limited quantities. In other words, it was kind of a PITA for American traders to get their hands on. Allegedly there were ~3-3500 bottles produced but I'm not sure anyone really knows. IIRC it was a blend of Armand's last batch of lambic before he starting brewing again and Boon. Allegedly he brewed it with Tommy of Lost Abbey but there seems to be debate about that as well.

Take about 50% of what I said with a grain of salt but I believe that is mostly accurate. Perhaps someone with more knowledge @F2brewers can correct me or add anything I forgot.

 

I think you nailed most/all of it (at least as far as can be confirmed).

Bottling occurred on February 17, 2011 in preparation for the Sour and Bitter Festival in Copenhagen held in May 2012. Bottles were sold to go for (I think?) 125 Danish Krone (a little over $18 USD today).

The blend was 2008 Armand lambic (yes, there was some left over after the Armand '4 series were bottled) and four year old (2007) Boon lambic along with young (one year) Boon lambic to provide residual sugar for carbonation. The proportions of each are not known.

And yes, I need another bottle.

 

I actually have several of these in the cellar (they were reasonably accessible in Alberta). Had no idea it was so sought after. If only shipping from Canada was easier.

 

An appropriate " The more you know" gif should be used here.

 

Uh oh
