Trading for HF for first time.

You should be able to get HF shelf saisons $4$ with those. Usually they are 1-2 case limit

 

Arthur, Anna, Brother Soigné, Florence, Convivial Suarez, Edith, Dorothy, Clara, Nordic Saison

Thats off the top of my head so I might be missing a couple

 

I wouldn't consider any of them "shelf" as they're all available only at the brewery in a super remote area in Vermont... BUT, some of their saisons definitely have 1-, 2-, even 3-case limits... I'm sure someone else can add, but they'd include Anna, Dorothy, Arthur, Florence. Clara.... etc

EDIT: or just see above post... and that being said, I think the beers you have should land some of them without a problem

 

The only thing that I would add is that although each of those beers have had a 1 or 2 case limit they are only available for a maybe a month and then a different once goes up for sale. In other words the most recent ones with be easier to get and someone cant just go up and get you one of each of those "shelf" beers.

 

Do you have any kids?

 

@stevec32 and @Kramerbarthomer are basically correct. In general to get a variety you'll need to find someone probably fairly local who keeps a regularly stocked cellar of them.

However, nobody is trading these dollar for dollar with upland bottles given the vast differences in price. I realize you posted bottle for bottle, but someone else posted dollar for and you shouldn't be led into thinking you'll get 18 HF Saisons for 6 upland. That's very unlikely to happen. The other bottles you listed you'll have better luck with

 

What @TheVicster has said is correct. In one of the other threads there were questions about getting 'shelf saisons' and it should be known that most people do not drive up and purchase 1/2/3 cases of these beers. Typically only a bottle or two...people do buy cases...just not nearly as often as people expect. So keeping your search to what is current can help your cause...or finding someone that is headed to the brewery can be even better for obvious reasons.

 

I have traded a lot of the HF "shelf" beers over the past few months. I typically trade them $4$ for other limited releases. For example, I've done 2 HF shelf beers for 1 JK sour or 2 HF for 1 FW XVIII/Parabola, etc.

 

I've traded HF shelf for NG fruit beers and for Huna, and would do it again so this seems fair!

The only ones I may not again are the NG fruit because I have been told that's more of a shelf beer trade and are easily available, for HF I have to drive to VT and then wait 9 thousand hours =)
