Great! You wouldn't want to sell one to a follow pearl jam and beer fan from the Netherlands?
I hate to be a debbie downer, but most shipping companies will not allow you to send liquids across customs/boarders. In fact, you're not supposed to ship liquids with them period, but you're much more likely to get away with it if you're not crossing customs/boarders because they don't inspect the contents with the same degree of scrutiny.
So even if someone is willing to send you one, I very much doubt it would make it to the Netherlands.
Also...and I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but beer is never the same once it flies. Something happens to it with the increase in altitude/decrease in pressure that it is never the same on the other side....
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
It's possible to send beer to the Netherlands. As long as you state that the container it's in has collectible value and not the contents of the bottle.
And don't send with USPS. And label the shipping as yeast samples or collectible bottle.
And I have received beers before from other countries that where flown in. Nothing wrong with the taste of it.
Just got back to the office after a lunch time visit to the liquor store in Paducah. While I was there the beer guy called his Dogfish Head rep and was told that he would get 1 case. I will get only 1 bottle because he has several "specialty beer guys" that spend on average $300 per month there. They only want and buy the specialty beers, which is why the rep is sending a case there - because this store sells a lot of DFH. Anyway, the beer guy said that if, by some chance, there is any left after his regulars get theirs then I can have some more. He also said it would be November before the distributor shipped him the case. So anyway, at least I am getting one - hopefully - fingers crossed - that something doesn't happen to spoil it.

Awesome to hear...still having a heck of a time locating it in NOVA. I've spoken w/two stores that will eventually get it, but they don't know when...
Good luck. Maybe they will put you on a list to call when they get it. It sounds like the DFH specialty beers go really fast even without the PJ factor. I'm supposedly on the list, but I put a note on my calendar to be sure and call or go in at the beginning of November. I'm afraid the list will be lost or I will be forgotten.

How quickly will the empty bottles end up on EBay?
Empty?? I fully expect FULL sealed bottles to be available, and if that's what it takes, I'm in.
Just check out auctions for Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout that was released in bottles for the first time this month.

i like beer as much as the next guy, maybe more so, but 50-70 bucks for a single bottle...that's crazy talk.
Seems a little strange, but no more strange than what people would pay for a similarly rare bottle of wine or scotch. I mean it is all supply and demand. I mean by comparison it almost seems less crazy than paying $400+ for a backpack with a couple of PJ20 logos on it.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict $100 bottles on ebay (full of course).
I would love to sit down and drink a Faithfull Ale, but they don't sell in my state and I'm not gonna bust my balls and/or wallet trying to get a beer because it says Pearl Jam on the wrapper. I'll just drink a regular old less than $12 beer and pretend...
It IS a great souvenir though, great collectible... but just not worth the hassle and/or money.

If anyone pays $100 for a bottle on E Bay they are out of their mind...
People pay hundreds and some times thousands for posters and vinyls. So 100 isn't far fetched if u look at what some of dogfish's other 750ml bottles have gone for. Crazy but i wouldn't be surprised at all to see it reach that level.

I thought somebody already said that ebay only allows for the sale of empty bottles?

I bought the Dogfish Head 750 ml. bottle of Black and Blue while at the liquor store today. Will probably try it this weekend. My store had a bunch of these and another kind (750ml) but I can't remember what it was. I guess with all this hub-bub over DFH I will have to try the various styles.

I have seen bottles of other stuff like Sam Adams Utopias on ebay before. People just sell them as a sealed collectable bottles where the seller is not responsible for the contents.

go take a peak on ebay and see the wording of the ads.
Ah, I see, "contents are not intended for consumption" Yeah right. Well, I might be in the market for an unopened "collectible container" of Faithfull Ale if anyone has an extra

DAMMIT NO NECK LABEL!!!
Try:
Leffe Blonde Ale
Duvel (stronger, so try the Leffe or similar one first)
Goose Island Blonde
for Pale ales:
Sierra Nevada
Saranac

And don't send with USPS. And label the shipping as yeast samples or collectible bottle.

Love Sierra Nevada......so I'm kinda one of the cool kids.
Duvel is a fantastic beer... wound up with one of their glasses after a tangly night... now i drink all my beers out of it....

Good point.
