    Dinner is a great beer and all, but what's up with the trade value? Earlier this year I went $4$ with good limited distro shelf beer and got all the dinner I wanted. Now I've been seeing limited brewery release only offer trades go un-filled. The limit was 2 cases of Dinner... not something like 4 bottles! I must me missing something right?

    I call it the "Hill Farmstead" effect, meaning, for all but a very, very small population, it's a pretty significant drive to get the beer, regardless of purchase limits.

    Add to that more & more positive feedback (you can call it hype if you'd like), and the demand for the beer is even greater than it was from the last release (May 21 of this year).

    We can't all forget that Dinner has about 3 solid weeks of shelf life...can we beholders of Dinner :slight_smile: Just saying.

    The limit did change to 4 bottles by the end of the day and probably should've been done from the get go. Just an FYI. Seemed to be quite the pain in the ass to get.

    Getting two bottles for a Maple Tripple and WW Black Angel Cherry sour. I'm going well over $4$, but as others have mentioned, it was apparently a pain in the ass to get. That and apparently taste are driving the value up. Im just hoping it lives up to the hype.

    It very much does...one of the best DIPAs I've had the pleasure of trying. Amazing beer. It's shelf life is pretty good too. Drank just as nicely 7+ weeks after May 21 as it did on May 22.

    It's good, report back. My inkling is that you'll never trade that much again for it.

    Will do! Black Angel wasn't terribly hard to acquire and I've had Maple Tripple multiple times, so am fine spreading the love a little with that one. That and getting it done IP is also helpful.

    I'm new to BA, but I trade on r/beertrade, and I traded my Dinners $4$. I just felt like it was spreading the love better that way - but really I am just a shitty negotiator I guess. Dinner is phenominal, but I just don't see why people would go above and beyond $4$ other than some thank-you-extras. Maybe that's because I found taking the day off, camping the night before, and the cluster-fuck but all around good vibes of the line to be super fun.

    for the record, I've always traded my Dinner for $9 of equally awesome beer too

    I just traded an Iris for 3 bottles from yesterday's release, FWIW

    Man, @markgugs is such a bad ass he sent me one just because he wanted me to try it. Actually I blame him for my permanent quest for it, def worth the hype, and a tough place to get to. ISO!

    Dinner is a great beer! Agreed the Iso/FT forum does seem a little out of hand on this.

    Same with other beers, hype, more demand, people want what they can't have. Value goes up. Never had it before I am sure it is a great beer or people wouldn't want it.

    Ive traded it $4$. I've also given Dinner as extras (from the second release). I'd always do it the same way again but I guess that's just me. Seems to be getting out of hand in my opinion.
