Beer Trading
 |
| Manzanita Brewing's Gillespie Brown |
Apparently, there’s a subculture wherein beer enthusiasts
trade rare and/ or limited edition beers. A brewery may put out a particular
series of beers, for example, a Christmas batch, along with their usual run of
products. This may happen annually or once in a lifetime. This, of course,
creates a demand, similar to trading baseball cards, Yu Gi Oh, or even Pokémon
cards.
Cool!
I ran across some unique names for these products, too. That
was classic. I think some of the
reasons some people trade is not only the taste, but the actual names of the
beers.
Forums and sites exist where this happens online. Doing a
little research, I saw this for myself.
Wow!
At first, I was going to put up a blog telling you readers
how I’d love to be involved. I was going to put in requests, and fill requests,
but screw that. Sending beers through the mail is illegal! I didn’t know that.
Good thing, I kept reading the article. From what I read, though, there’s ways around
this. I, of course, will NOT going into how. Do your own
research!
I’m going to continue looking into this trade, though,
because I find it intriguing. If nothing else, I’m going to stay up on the
latest rare beers and limited editions I
find.
