    Curious mainly, able to snag one when they came out, paid around $90. Can't really see myself busting into just one and disrupting the symmetry. Are these desirable and would they pull any bigger fish or just $90 worth of rarer shelf beers? It would seem like a six pack of Matt or something of that nature would be within reason---am I off?

    I know, I know, post an ISO:FT....

    The latter. I traded a bottle of Parabola for a bottle of Westy 12 from that December release. That's about $4$.

    I don't think there would be extra value in trading them as a brick as opposed to breaking them up.

    Store them well and drink one per year on Christmas eve - you'll get well more than $90 of enjoyment out of that.

    Edit: or any other holiday if Christmas ain't your thing.

    Yeah, I would just save them and drink them off slowly. Westy doesn't trade very high any more. There are always people who want to try it though, so probably about limited locals $4$, maybe brewery-only.

    I'm doing an annual blind tasting against the other top quads, all purchased at the same time.
