    The sour blonde base is fairly easy to get. The Sonambic would be quite difficult.

    Yeah I think Batch 1 had six Gots listed when Batch 2 was released. Batch 1 is semi-whaling if not all the way there.

    I traded one for a CBS right when it came out. I don't think I've traded one since then. My guess is they'd be about on par (which is a bit hilarious given the bottlecount disparities and that one is distributed, but never mind).

    Framboise for a Cure is also exponentially better than CBS....

    Irrelevant to trading (but correct).

    A generous local BA did an IP 1:1 for Beatification B5 with a kicker on my end to make up $4$. I don't expect that to work all that often.

    If you go to the Alewatcher/Oreo birthday party next year i might leave one in a random mystery cooler on accident and then you'll leave and i'll say "oh shit", at least that is what i did with the bottle i had. Pretty easy to acquire, you just have to be in the right place, at the right time while i'm an idiot.

    At the risk of offending Bay Aryans, batch 2 wasn't particularly hard to track down; the brewery had it for a while and it made it to some limited distro accounts with the agreement that they wouldn't make any profit off of it (which City Beer Store promptly said "fuck you" to and added a $5 markup). I sent a bunch out to trading partners in the usual way, but if I were putting it on the open market I'd look for semi-limited releases and nothing more. Example being one of the Alpine or HF seasonal IPAs, maybe Hunaphu's, things of that nature. Something that takes a little effort to track down, but isn't particularly rare.

    Batch 1 sold out the first day and (to me) is tastier, so it would take something significant to pry one out of my hands, but most likely it's just going to be one of those things I open for a special tasting.
