It’s because their beers suck now.
And I can never ****ing spell it.

Town Hall Masala Mama. It was high on the Top XXX list over there for years. I must have shipped out 50 growlers over the course of my trading career.
No one has even asked me about Masala since about 2015.
Kuhnhenn used to get tons of praise. I had a bunch of their barleywines and eisbocks at a share years ago and now I can't remember the last time anyone mentioned them.

All the barrel aged Deschutes beers used to be highly coveted up here, but now they sit on shelves at Costco forever.
We really didn't have crazy whales up this way.
That's what years of not giving a **** will do
Pursued so many whales back then that no one would care about now:
Midnight Sun Barfly
Surly Two
Norrebro Saison Lambic Pinot Noir
Southampton Berliner
Dogfish Head Festina Lente
Pizza Port Le Woody Brune
I remember trading stakem and others for Selin's Grove growlers. Great times.
Being re-released!Kaiser Curmudgeon
One that immediately comes to mind is Captain Lawrence Cuvee de Castelton. This is a brewery I probably haven't had a beer from since this beer was hyped.
Being re-released!
Well, Better Half but still.
If you're still ISO Rorie's there's an outside chance some friend of mine has one kicking around from when Toronado sold it to go at one of their anniversaries. No idea what the ask would be, though. (Best part of that was that Chussain and his mule army had no idea what the bottle was so skipped it.)
I've had it a few times, some from that release, once at the Eclipse party, poured by Hoey himself. IIRC he said he doesn't have much left.
In terms of "old whales no one would give a **** about now" T-20 has to be up there. Though who knows, maybe RR has more shitlord cachet than I give it credit for.
This (well, the newest batch of it) is on the shelf at my local store in bumb**** nowhere SC. If that isn't a sign of how the game has changed...
No idea if anyone even has any left but I'll ask.I'm definitely interested but I really have no idea where to go with it. One of the reasons I was fishing for it on buy/sell/auction type groups is I figured most people who had any left would be more likely looking to sell (i.e. downsizing/getting rid of old beer) rather than trade. Don't go out of your way but if you happen to mention it to him and he sounds interested, let me know. Definitely a curiosity tick for me.
Cant help but think yeahnatenelson got inspiration for this topic based off splinter blue talk this morning
The amount of beers already mentioned here that I still have bottles of is making me feel some kinda way.
I think maybe people on this website, but other than here?
You don't forget a tall, bald man who talked about Berliners for 3 hours straight. .
I know that was true a few years ago, but is that still the case?SHBRL has sold for ~$1500 (and traded straight-up for a Cable Car Kriek as well, if I remember correctly), and VSB has gone for ~$500-600.
We are nearing page 4 and noone mentioned Bullfrog yet...
black cherry bomb
blue cheer
beekeeper
old toad barleywine (ok, was never a sought after whale but might be my favorite bullfrog beer.)
I think I've said this before in another thread, but I actually met you at the Splinter Blue release. You don't forget a tall, bald man who talked about Berliners for 3 hours straight. You actually gave me a sample of one of your homebrewed Berliners that was really damn good. Someone also was passing around a bottle of infected KtG.
Splinter Blue was so goddamn good.
4 pages and no one has even mentioned Isabelle Proximus yet?
In the future, I expect to be tagged for threads like this.
What was that bar in Charleston that was growlering/bottling off kegs they got? I traded a Vagabond for one of their 12oz handbottle of CBS in... 2009ish?
The Captain Lawrence releases were ridiculous, but those still the most fun releases I've ever been to. Drinking a Brute vert in 30° near-darkness!

Does anyone still care about the early batches of Love Child? I believe #1 was extremely hard to get at one point, I have a friend who had a vert going back to 2 and that was his white whale. He was chasing it all over the Facebook groups for a while, but I'm not sure he ever got it before dropping out of the trading scene.
