HotD of course. What is it trading for nowadays? is any FT or is it NFT? I know some people at the recent RBSG split a bottle for $2,000. I recently saw a FT thread that had about $3,000-$4,000 worth of beer on the secondary market posted. Is HotD Dave trading on that level or is it higher?

Discuss.

There can’t be more than like 10-20 bottles in private existence....I’d imagine. I bet alot of them are just centerpieces in private collections and not anything the owners are looking to trade. If something can get it done though...KBBS

KBBS is around $1000, it would be a good start. One off Cantillon would for sure get you started. Pappy van winkle and other bourbons, maybe some old estate sale nonsense.

What about Mexican Cake?

Some people have what it takes to get Dave, some people only have what it takes to get cake.

No. There is one listed on MBC at that price collecting dust. I never paid for but wouldn’t haven’t spent even $250 on it. There are much better beers out there that are cheaper to get.

It really doesn’t carry the same trade weight it once did IMO. Still a $$$$ whale, but it’s only really sought out by old schoolers at this point. For that price tag (unless you’re silly rich), who wants a small bottle of oxidized barleywine when you could get a larger bottle of much better beer (including world-class geuze), or a beercation at that price?

I get trying it in a group like RBSG did because it was obtainable (physically and financially), but I wouldn’t seek it out.

Lol, check your facts before you post. KBBS sold for $1,000 on June 26th and again for $875 this past Friday

what is KBBS?


additionally, Dave is super easy to get. Go to the brewery, find 10 other guys, split for about $150 per person.

whether that is worth it or not is a judgment but rather simple to actually sample it.

I can’t understand why someone would trade $4,000 worth of beer for it. Its cheaper to fly to PDX, get a hotel, rent a car, enjoy everything HotD has on tap, get the spicy duck wings, and then buy Dave.
