    Hi gang, looking to complete some missing holes in what will be a big Bourbon County horizontal tasting I'm putting together. Have some of the more difficult pieces already (Rare, Prop) and the less difficult (Cherry, Backyard, Coffee(s), etc.), and will probably worry about Vanilla this fall when it's re-released, but Bramble seems to be a tough one. I don't see many FT of it at all, lots of ISOs though.

    A friend just acquired one with the BA Panther set.

    Wondering if $35ish of equally limited beer is the going rate? I only see 12 people here on BA who actually say that have Bramble "FT" so any help is appreciated.

    Thanks all!

    Mark

    it's basically 1:1 with Prop, or close to 1:1 with Cherry Rye. close enough anyways. so that will give you more frame of reference. I have traded for 2 myself.

    Bramble for Saison du Fermier 1:1

    And

    Bramble + Backyard for Fou Foune

    thanks to both of you

    so I'm getting $30-35 of pretty limited stuff, or $50ish of not quite as limited stuff (but still limited)

    Just did the BC horizontal tasting this past Saturday and it was phenomenal. Bramble was actually in everyone's top 3. I traded for mine last fall-ish and sent out 2 Bomb, 2 Noir, & 2 Vanilla Noir for Bramble and some solid extras. Definitely worth it.

    I think Bomb was a different story last year, what I hear now is that it's on shelves. ditto those Noir beers. and Bramble has just gotten harder. so now it probably would take 10:1 or something, I dunno.

    I know that I tried to trade Backyard + 3 BCBCS for Bramble and got mostly crickets.

    Makes sense and that's more what I would expect anyway. Your problem was likely a Venn diagram issue.
