    Can anyone that has traded for these gems share the details of the trade please? Or if you have an opinion on the matter feel free to share that too.

    Patience. Wait until the next release, they should be substantially easier to land than they are at this point.

    Unless the brewery ramps up production about 10x the first release, I doubt either is going to be easier to land, for a lot of reasons. Geography, brewery-only, low bottle counts, hoarders & profiteers (there WILL be some at the next release), & the fact that they're hands-down the best beers to come out of Iowa since the dawn of time. Nope, I don't see them getting much easier to land in the near future.

    I think someone traded 2 Goose Propreitors for a brunch.

    I wouldn't trade mine for 2 maybe one of my MD for 2.

    I traded a BVDL for the whole set (KBBS, MD, and Assassin) and think I got a pretty good deal.

    MD was one of the top 5 or 10 beers I've ever had, KBBS was a little disappointing based on the spectacular ratings/reviews its received.

    It is kind of sweet. I only drank a whole bottle once. I usually put a stopper on it and finish the next day.

    I have these in my gots list, so I get a lot of random offers and I check in from time to time on the ISOs/FTs. I've been offered a BVDL for KBBS, Rare for MD, multiple BCBS Proprietors & Backyard Rye, lots of Cantillons, Hill Farmstead rares and I haven't pulled the trigger yet. As others have said, there are KBBS bottles out there, but really tough to pry them away. MD is basically gone, but they are brewing more. Hoping that they use different wax caps so we can track vintages. IMO, either bottle is going to cost you quite a bit, OP. KBBS is the best beer I've ever had, so my recommendation is to find a bottle or line up someone to get you one at the next release (late spring?) and hold off on the MD until the next batch is out.

    I traded a CW 1414 and 15 for an MD and we were both satisfied with the trade. MD didn't disappoint either, one of the best beers I have ever had.

    I had to take them all out of my gots. I was getting lots of offers and don't care to trade them.

    If you have to ask, big man, you can't afford it.

    It sounds like this may be true. Thanks for the responses, guys!

    I was wondering the same thing. Proposed a trade for these out of curiosity and was laughed at. Apparently these are whales of the highest order.

    Whatever I'll drink my Founder's KBS and let the rest of you trade your first born.

    I recently traded a Proprietor + Backyard for KBBS and and a Prop + 2x bcbcs for MD. Though unless you have these beers it doesn't help all that much

    Today someone offered Rare-Prop.-cherry rye-backyard-2012 coffee and 2 bottles of BCBBW. I actually considered that offer for awhile. That was for the trio by the way.
