Very green to trading here, but I'm looking to get some regular Goose Island BCBS. How much do you guys think I can get with a bottle of JK's Cerveza de Tempranillo & Montmorency vs Balaton?
Again, I have no idea what the going rates are for beer trades.
Weren't each of the JK bottles $15? If so, you should get at least $30 of bcbs which is 5-6 bottles. Considering bottle counts and availability, it should be 6 minimum. You'd probably have no trouble trading them for a 4 pack each, but that might require two trades
That being said, the number one goal of trading should be to get beer you want to try. However, trading a limited brewery only beer like tempranillo and MvB for a 100,000+ bottle national release, while generous, could be selling yourself short. You could probably trade more available JK stuff like RU55 and FunkMetal for BCBS.
If you want to trade your two JKs for some bourbon county items, I'd look for something along the lines of:
-8 bottles bcbs
-4x bcbs plus mixed 4 pack of bourbon county coffee and barley wine
-Mixed four pack of bcbs, coffee, and barley wine plus a Backyard Rye
-A bottle of proprietors plus a bottle of coffee or barleywine. Just the proprietors is pretty fair, but the extra 12oz bottle would probably even up dollar for dollar.
Just my .02. I will personally do the middle two trades if you want to ship.
