Does anyone know if these are still available? From the sound of things it seems like they are. Only interested in the variants, and more specifically the Fram, and Apricot
So Grrrz has gone from a sub 300 release where folks were using very questionable people as mules to lasting the better part of a week now?

How can the market get flooded if there are only ~280 bottles to begin with?Well first they were trading for whales, then too many people bought them and tried to trade them for whales and flooded the market and didn't trade high as a result, and now no one wants them because they no longer trade for whales. Makes sense.
Are you serious?FTFY

Two variants had 800 and two had 400 bottle counts. Still hard to flood the market with that. There's got to be other factors in play.I think b2 was significantly bigger and killed grrz hype shuggy

Taste? And literally everyone was trying to trade away b2 immediately. Biggest trade value tank I can recall...
I have no skin in the game, I liked b2 base and plum and looking forward to my only grrz bottle (b2 base) whenever I decide to open it.
The reasons given only seem to affect Bullfrog. Everything is expensive nowadays. There's lots of breweries in far more remote locations than Williamsport that trade well and there's tons of releases that get a lot of people looking to flip them out of the gate. On that ratings site, 3 of the fruits are in the top 100 AWA and base Grrrz is #10 Gueuze.
I have no skin in the game either. I haven't been to Bullfrog since the late 90's and I've only ever had base Grrrz once. Beer trading as a whole makes no sense anymore but for a beer of this style, limited availability, and apparent overall quality to **** the bed is at the top of the list.
Original Druiven was damn good too.I like Bullfrog but I am tired of the $25+ bottle of beer regardless of how good it is and what the process is to make it. I also dont have the time/patience to sporatically take a trip to Williamsport on a wim like I use to. Sadly, ive also found myself enjoying the grrrz bottles less and less with each passing experience to the extent that I have a couple versions in my fridge that I havent had yet and keep avoiding them because I really disliked the melange and berry which were the last bottles I drank. Some people also claim that the bottles just dont age well. That certainly can be a detrimental factor to their sales. Even those of us who are in it to drink them dont want to drop that much money on a bottle not knowing if we will even enjoy it or feeling like we have to rush to drink it before it turns to battery acid or the fruit fades.
Kriek (batch 1 and 2) as well as the first batch of unfruited grrrz and apricot were damn amazing beers and worthy of any/all accolades. Having said that, I have not had them in any way other than fresh.
More grrrz bottles. 20th anniversary, blueberry, blackberry, and maybe kriek?

I really feel like that's another contributing factor for poor interest in these recent releases.Maybe if they didn't knowingly release the sewer water that was Crime of Passion at full price, and then claim that they thought it was fine, people would be more willing to give them their hard earned money.
