    For me, it is GLBC Edmund Fitzgerald. Because I can buy it at almost any place that sells alcoholic beverages, I sometimes forget that it truly is one of the best examples of the style available.

    Mine would be Zombie Dust, and I learned firsthand! I was living in Chicago and was able to get a 6-pack every week when it came in. I moved out to the burbs less than a week ago. During my first visit to the local shop, I was informed that they don't get ZD distro. Even though it's 30 minutes from FFF. FAIL!! I want my Zombie Dust back!

    It was definitely Yuengling back when I lived in Philly.

    Definitely didn't realize what I had until I moved out here to Colorado and there was no comparably priced drinkable beers.

    SNPA for me. There are so many great choices out there now that I almost have to remind myself to order one of these now and again, and whenever I do I'm reminded what a remarkable it is. Ken Grossman nailed it as far as pales go.

    Probably Founders Breakfast Stout. When it first comes out each year, I get a four-pack or two, but then tend to pass it over for other things the months it's on shelves. I should drink more of it :slight_smile:

    Gotta go with Hop Stoopid. I can easily find it, and it's only $3.50/bomber.

    Absolutely Pliny the Elder. So easy to get in SF. I would go nuts if that changed, though.

    I was just thinking this last week when I walked past the display of Stone IPA, making a mental note to get some soon. I don't even remember the last time I had it. Hate to see it disappear, though.

    I take a LOT of locally available beers for granted whilst searching for new ones that aren't in my market. Many times, I smack myself in the head and say "I could have had a....". Not a V8, mind you. :wink:

    Bells Two Hearted or North Peak Diabolical.

    I'd weep openly if Jolly Pumpkin closed their doors, but I'm not limiting that comment to just one of their beers.

    White Rajah. Love the beer and brewery soo fucking much, but I think I've drank myself ******ed on Old 21 and Rajah. Amazing brews but I see myself passing them up quite often.

    I would say DFH 90 min. Before it made its way out west, I had the biggest boner for it. Now it's every where. I still stay loyal to it.
