The proposed trade is the other way around, offered Art for the Midnight Still bottles.



I think the context of that story above is that wethorseblanket tried to take up the SedMechine on his offer only to find that others had already tried and were now trolling due to shitlordy responses. So it's not the ask that is a terrible offer- it is just the trader that sucks.

edit:Also nhindian I am a little confused about the end of your post. Anyone who got 2 Arts at release definitely had to wait in line.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE SadMechine!
 
The way this is stated makes beer trading sound like war.

Not really. The basis of this thread is to point out that one beer trades for much higher than another beer, which is what I was doing in my aforementioned post.
 
This guy has 50+ trades under his belt. Disabling comments lets people do stuff like this.
I'm pretty sure that person has an account here and one on Reddit. Thats the reason it's posted on BA and nowhere else.
 
Exactly - wethorseblanket said the guy makes terrible offers but was offering the Art for the MS. I was wondering why that's a terrible offer.

Because instead of taking the offer he requested (3 Stills for Art) he openly told others that he had an offer and that they could try to beat it or some **** like that. Much fun was had at his expense. He had no idea everyone he was trying to use to increase his trade equity was in on it and ended up wasting his time for 3 days.

What is Medianoche?

Some of you may ask, why have a recipe for a Cuban sandwich, and one for a medianoche? The answer is simple, there is a difference between the two.



The medianoche (midnight) earns its name from the time that it was typically eaten. After a night of dancing, the medianoche is a perfect way to fight off hunger. It's often smaller than a typical Cuban sandwich, and it is made on a sweeter variety of bread (typically a yellow egg bread).



On a traditional medianoche, there should not be any mayonnaise, tomatoes, onions, bell pepper or lettuce. Often times, one can use leftover meats from the fridge for a medianoche. In making a good medianoche, remember this. The Roast Pork is what will make the sandwich, so you can never leave it out.



Medianoche Ingredients:

3 thin slices of ham
3 thin slices roast pork hot or cold (hot, slow roasted pork is best)
3 thin slices of Swiss cheese
3 or 4 slices of pickles
1/3 cut medianoche bread (it has to be sweet yellow egg bread)



You should be using fresh, sweet Cuban bread. If you don't have access to a bakery that sells medianoche bread, an alternative is the Jewish Challah egg bread sold at Albertsons. Or click here to buy it online from a store I shop at.



Slice the bread open face so that both halves are still barely connected and spread mustard on both halves. Add the ham, and then the roasted pork. When in a hurry, you can use one whole piece of roasted pork. Add your Swiss cheese and then a few pickle slices. Make sure to spray your sandwich press with a little butter flavored Pam, or for a tastier sandwich you can brush some softened butter on the outside of the bread.



Place the sandwich in a Cuban sandwich press and press down until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly hard to the touch. For those of you without a press, you can also place the sandwich in a hot skillet and press down on it with a heavy kitchen object, maybe a baking pan (some, believe it or not, use a brick wrapped in tin foil when nothing else is available).



For years I've used a Gaunaurd sandwich maker from the Cuban Food Market, it has removable plates, and is easy to clean. Never use a panini grill, they simply don't heat sandwiches evenly, and a real Cuban doesn't have little lines grilled into it. When finished, slice the sandwich diagonally across the middle so that you have two triangle shaped wedges (as seen in the pictures below). Enjoy!

d00d, Sherry Atrial and FO b2 are totally equal to OG Rare! I mean, OG Rare doesn't even have any adjunct **** in it.
 
Tough act to follow, but I was also curious so I looked it up on BA. It appears to be an imperial stout from a brewery I have never heard of, WeldWerks. Which has exactly 3 beers with between 10 and 33 reviews (of which coconut Medianoche is one).

But the vanilla version is, according to its only reviewer, a flawless beer (straight 5s) and "probably the best BBA stout [he's] ever had," although he has tried neither Vanilla Rye nor Fundamental Observation.

So yeah, totally a narrative that is worth the gamble...
