    Sorry, Kurtis. Bully Guppy can only trade for nail polish, maybe some barrel aged nail polish. I'd offer Idiot's Drool.

    If you really can get a growler fill... Which I seriously doubt... I would imagine that you could get a lot for a PTY growler. It's the biggest D.O.N.G. around (maybe the Messy too). I would imagine you could name your price of recent hot releases or 2nd tier wales. No Dave or M. Maybe a Blaaber or King Henry.

    Would I personally trade a growler of this or go through all sorts of shady ass things to get it behind Vinnie's back despite the fact that he does things the right way. NO WAY.

    I have the following I can throw in a box for the trade:

    -Hopslam vintage 2009 (x2)
    -Romulan Ale
    -Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer
    -A half eaten poptart
    -A picture of me at the pool this summer. I am wearing a shirt, but it's white and wet so it's pretty see through
    -Khazadum's chocolate rain video bootleg

    You could let me drink it and set me loose on the streets of San Francisco. Have you seen Cloverfield? That was after I took a growler of Younger to the dome.

    This is a public forum, and you're soliciting trade advice for a beer known to be in direct contrast against the brewer's exact statements regarding the off-premise consumption of his product. Just the fact that you referenced wales in your inquiry to value shows how little respect for the beer or the trade community you have, and negates any intent on "hooking up NorCal locals with out of distro wales". How about you just make random trade offers to those with PtY in their wants list, and ask for their most valuable beer in their gots. The volume is high enough that you're bound to actually get what you ask for, most likely.

    Or drink it yourself, and be happy about it.

    Seems likely that he would get a growler from one of these other places if he is going to get one. At that point is it really against the brewer's wishes? While referencing "whales" in your "how much is this worth" post is pretty darn douchey, it's pretty much par for the course these days.

    To the OP, you could get pretty much anything you want for it, but you won't be making more than 1 friend in the process.

    Only when someone goes WALL-E hunting with a growler two months from the future.

    If you happen to be able to get one, just post an ISO for top wants, make it fair, but something that you really want to try. No need to be a douche and squeeze all the "whales" that can be had. You should catch a little less grief in that post, sorry for all the shitting in this one.

    I'd say it's worth trading to your liver in exchange for a hangover the next morning.

    I can't believe all the naysayers here. If kegs of PtY are distributed to bars not tended by Vinnie, it's a very strong possibility, even an inevitability, that some PtY will end up in growlers; and I'm not talking bathroom stall growlers filled 10oz at a time either.

    Maybe OP doesn't have the hookup but there are plenty who probably do. Bartenders and other bar employees don't take any sacred oaths and I'm sure a large number of them pay zero mind to whether or not they have Russian River approval before they hook a buddy up or something.

    Agreed. Last year I know of a place that sells growlers of anything on they put on tap, which included PTY...just sayin'...

    This thread is pretty dead...

    the OP didn't realize it wasn't going to be available for growler fills at the brewery and seems to have dropped the whole thing by now.

    I mentioned earlier that other bars and such will have it on tap and might fill growlers so getting one isn't impossible.

    And everyone has agreed that whale hunting two months before it is released makes one a douche.

    Deceased. Horse. Bludgeoned.

    Shit, I forgot about half urine/pty growlers traded for nudies of Natalie Portman in back alleys...that part of the conversation should certainly continue.
