What can I trade for Pliny the Elder??

[tykreis]

I'm from Baltimore, MD. All I want is to try Pliny! What beer from here can I possibly trade someone for that beer??

You tell me man. I can get Pliny. What rare or hard to get beers do you have access to?

 

[fernsanity]

Some of Duclaw's rarer offerings may do the trick.. Pliny is hard to get but not as much of a whale as it used to be. I got one back in December for Jai Alai and Heady for Jai Alai as well-- all depends on who wants what.

Some beers just have to be enjoyed fresh. Pliny is one of them. There's a reason you don't find it much on the East Coast. Russian River wants control over the handling of their beer. You're not that far from Philly. Find out when it will be on tap and take a road trip to Monk's. Pliny and a UPS truck will not go well together.

That's true to some degree, but if I'm shipping you a Pliny that's one week old, another 4 days on a UPS truck isn't going to pose a serious threat to the quality of the beer.

@tykreis - PM me and we can talk.

I don't agree that a rare beer needs to be traded for Pliny. While Pliny isn't sitting on shelves for days on end, there is a steady distribution of it all the way down through So. Cal. I would say that something unobtainable from the East should be fine for Pliny.

I would say anything from DuClaw would work. They don't even distribute to where I am in NC, if at all in NC. Also, DC Brau should work too.

DC Brau OTWOA = fair trade $4$

I suppose I used the wrong term. Not looking for rare beers. Just ones that I can't get in CA.

And even though Pliny is distributed up and down the state, it's not exactly a cake walk to get. I have to be at the strore on the day it comes in....if it comes in. Most stores in the area don't even put it on the shelves, even the chain grocery stores.

Very true on that. There is an ebb and flow with that beer and the availability. Someone walked in and grabbed me 6 off the shelf two weeks ago and now cannot find anymore. But there are some great beers on this side of country. You should even seek out Troegs.

That's crazy. I've never seen a store allow more than two per customer.
