    Looking to mix things up in my cellar:

    Rare
    CR '12
    Brandy DL
    Brute '10
    BT '11
    Darkness '11
    BCBCS '10

    What would you go after with the above? Go for a package blockbuster or would a few smaller trades yield better value? Looking to acquire quality over bulk.

    Is that what you have or what you're trading for?

    Man, with that lineup, I'd trade it for something I REALLY want. Or nothing.

    Drink them. If there was a beer or beers you want(ed) more than those you would not have needed to start this thread. Asking us what we would trade for might not give the best results without giving us more info on your likes.

    "Yield Better Value" ???

    I think you should hold onto them... you wouldn't want to risk not getting the best value. Rule number 2 of beer-trading... If you don't think you can screw the other guy harder than he's gonna screw you, don't trade.

    Invite a few friends over and open 2-3 of those up.

    Yeah, to clarify the above, it's what I'm holding. With the exception of the brandy DL, these are all the 2nd and 3rds bottles of what ive tried before. The wife has been giving me guff about having too much around, and I figure consolidation would provide more personal value. Getting Into something new would be the best way to try different beers and get her off my case. I've pretty much had my fill of the big stouts at this point, the rarer lambics are where I'm thinking I should go but I've never really traded at that higher ievel and am unsure about what to go for with what ive got. For me, the fun has been tracking down these guys, I've found though that with even with how good they are, they are only so much better than the more (relatively) easily attainable beers like parabola and KBS. Therefore I am interested at this point in starting a new chapter.
