    How do these two BCS variants compare in terms of trade stock/value? Just trying to get a handle on things, here.

    Thanks.

    Identical basically, ive traded 1:1 seen it happen a bunch of tikes as well. Bramble may be a little rarer at this point, but cherry is the superior beer, so think more or less the same.

    I'm going to agree with Atomicskis5 on that.

    I think they are pretty close to even, both have almost the exact same # of "Wants." Personally, I feel like more people are ISO Cherry right now because its been pretty well-hyped since the release because of the initial reviews and the pedigree of BCBS variants, which might make it trade for more. I see a lot of ISOs specifically for Cherry, not very many for Bramble. I think the people who are ISO Bramble are more passive about it, like if they see it FT with something they think is fair they'll go after it, but not actively pursuing it.

    Personally, I had bramble last year and really liked it and have heard its even better now, so I'd like to get 1 but I am not actively pursuing it. I'd say they are pretty even, but maybe have to give up a little more for Cherry because of the "demand."

    Bramble seems to be much more of a "love it" or "hate it" kind of beer when compared to the other BCBS variants. I love it, but I'm a raspberry *****. A friend did not care for it at all. Plus, I've had Bramble three times, starting with it being very fresh and the latest tasting being about a month or two ago...Bramble is getting better.

    Personally, I'm loading up on Cherrys at the moment because I think it's going to keep getting better and better (and I already love it). I'll also be hunting down more Brambles soon, as I'm down to just one bottle.

    In my experience, I've given up more for Bramble than Cherry. This is likely due to Bramble being a year older, I think. They should be pretty equal in trade value really.

    Bramble used to be a polarizing beer. Most people who have had it in recent months have found that it really improved with some age.

    Cherry is the next Vanilla.










    Shit, it's a walez-bro now.

    Wasn't bramble somewhere in the 15 dollar range and cherry 25ish?

    I think at the same stage after release Cherry is trading slightly higher than Bramble did.

    Time will tell.

    When did Bramble's trade value go up? I thought everyone said it sucked when it came out.

    Bramble is my 3rd fav BCBS. People are missing out, I've been hoarding it. Much better than Vanilla IMO.

    I've had Bramble with some age and Cherry fresh, liked Bramble quite a bit more.

    A lot of people didn't like it fresh because it was super sweet. I've had it many times over the past year, and like many people say, it has only gotten better and better.

    Bramble is fantastic. Cherry is pretty good now, hopefully better in time

    Is Bramble being made again this year?

    The sugar is still there. Raspberry is probably toning down. But I liked it's fruit intensity. Cherry wasn't as strong which is why I prefer Bramble.

    Probably not. The trend seems to be Coffee + a unique variant each year. I am sure eventually they'll repeat some.

    They did, until some cool guys said it was good, so now it's thought of as great. People only want what others want man. You don't want to be the only goof In Search of a certain beer, you want to be another wave in the ocean man.

    I don't really see why you would want to ignore the opinions of people who drink lots of barrel aged beer. Isn't the entire point of coming on a forum like this to gain information?
    I had Bramble fresh at a tasting of 07-11 BCBS, and though I liked it, it was really sweet and the berry flavor was super intense. When someone shared a bottle with me last November I enjoyed it a lot more, as everything seemed to have come together. Cherrys pretty devine right now though.
