Operation: Find the Shittiest Deal on MyBeerCellar.com

[Cruize4Gueuze]

i believe ppl are doing this to ramp up the trade value of their beers. someone was trying to 1:1 with SR-71 today too...

or maybe fishing for rich folks with nothing else to spend their money on

this exactly. It's all about who has the more valuable beer and how much $ it's worth. Everyone is actively trying to make their limited release stout the next KBBS.

Sick move, homie... Not me. Not a chance. Only bottles I've ever sold have been at cost to friends/trading partners.

Edit: There were three bottles in the original picture. Why not ask for $1600?

Ok my apologies, just knew that I had seen that exposed brick somewhere recently. I guess that's the danger in sharing nice beer pics....flippers gonna steal them for their ads.

It's all good! Guess I'm flattered...

Also, was referring to homie flipping beer as "homie". Gripe isn't with you.

His descriptions state pretty clearly that all sales are in-person pickup only and that he won't ship.

Ah, doh! I never actually read the descriptions 'cos that Mosaic web browser layout on the site makes my eyes bleed.

breh, see that PrtScn button up there?

 

[RyanG1]

breh, see that PrtScn button up there?

How does that help?

He has to print the screen, walk over to the printer, make sure the right paper is loaded in the printer, replace the in cartridge if low, wait for it to print out, hope there isn't an error or paper jam, walk back with the printed paper, walk over to the copier, unless it is one of those fancy copier/printer/fax machines, but those always break down, copy the printed piece of paper, email it to himself as a PDF, log back into his computer because has gone longer than 15 minutes and the screen has since locked, contact IT support since he forgot his log in username and password, finally logs in, downloads the PDF from his email, but Adobe has a mandatory 15 minute update to version 9.2.3.15 or some ****, finally downloads it and someone has already posted a funnier and shittier mybeercellar classified.

As far as SR-71 goes, I guess my question is...why WOULDN'T it be valued so highly? TG's other stouts are. No adjuncts? SR-71 is at least barrel aged, which I believe Morning Delight is not? And Assassin is? And they are all 12 oz? I'm speaking as someone who only observes and has never tasted, traded for, or attempted to trade for any of these beers.

Assassin is in bombers. Mornin' Delight, regardless of not being barrel aged is just great. It originally came out in 12oz but this past batch was in bombers. SR-71 is Assassin that spent 2 years in barrels. IMO it's over-oaked and much prefer Assassin, but everyones taste differ.

SR-71 will never happen again because chances are it was a matter of luck. It was blended, bottled, and sold while Mike was not working at TG. The theory I've heard the most and that I tend to believe is that they threw together all the rejected barrels from Assassin and bottled it after Mike left possibly adding some adjuncts. It was good IMO but not as good as any of the other offerings listed above.

I know TG tends to play games but if it was such a hit and reproducible then they would reproduce it. They have with every other beer they've made.

But if it's just extended-aging Assassin (maybe with some adjuncts, maybe not) why couldn't they do it again, if they wanted to? I can definitely see why they -wouldn't- want to (if all the Assassin barrels are good to go at bottling time they might as well just bottle all of it as Assassin and sell though), but nothing precludes them from aging a similar beer for a similar amount of time if they felt like it.

A sheer 750$ each. Close. Very close.

Looks like someone just bought this too. What the ****.

I wouldn't be shocked if that's someone "buying" it from a friend to inflate the value or whatever.

I'm nearly positive that all those crazy sales are control by individuals that just buy and resale to each other and hence, never losing money for real to just end up selling for real to desperate idiots or to thereafter trade for rarer bottles with the fakey inflated value

The Morning Delight I had from a bottle was horrible. Drain poured it. The draft at the Ratebeer event, on the other hand, was fantastic. I can't imagine paying that much for a bottle that's a gamble.

This would make sense, actually. There has to be some secret internet hub where they all congregate to plan these nefarious deeds. It's like the illuminati/new world order of beer.
