    Uinta Labyrinth Black Ale.

    It's available year round, runs $11.99-$12.99 for a 750mL bottle, and it's ALWAYS on the shelves around here. The real beauty of it? It's not a black ale. It's a stout. A double imperial one. And it's fucking BARREL AGED. And it's 13.2% Inexpensive, widely available, tasty, high ABV, barrel aged stout with a 92 rating on this site...and either no one knows about it, or they just can't be bothered with it. Regardless, it's a beautiful beer.

    Dang, I will be out buying extras today, gonna get one of these for sure. I do see this one on shelf all the time, and routinely do pass it by.

    Absolutely. Came here to say this. Gypsy Ale is also amazing.

    White Birch brewing from NH.

    There barrel aged wild ales are off the charts. Past QC issues have faded with their new space. Give then a go.

    The best beer that no one knows about is hands down Drakes Aroma Coma. Amazing brew.

    love me some exit 4 and am sure to try any of their exit releases... not a big fan of their regular rotation stuff though, besides exit 4

    Not a big range of distribution for both of these but:

    NOLA's Flambeau Red--one of the best red ales I have had
    High and Mighty's Fumata Bianca--If I did not know better I would think I was drinking a German rauchbier

    A lot of the small MA breweries are getting love (BA/Bros. festival proximity exposure helps), but I'll go with Slumbrew and their Porter Square Porter. Chocolately goodness.

    One that I love that nobody seems to talk about is Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca. I'm not a huge fan of witbiers but this one is just fantastic.

    Another that I'm sure people are plenty aware of but I never see talked about is Petrus Aged Pale. Maybe I don't see it because I never read the threads about "Recommend me some SOURS!!!" but as far as quality, price, and availability, you can't beat this one.

    <EDIT> I just checked out the "Sours...I'm hooked." thread out of curiosity and, sure enough, the Petrus got mentioned a couple times so there you go...

    St. Arnold Endeavour DIPA is phenomenal, and in my opinion can stand up to Pliny and Hopslam.

    NOLA makes great beer. Now that they are canning, they'll always get distributed in my trades.

    Recently had this, and I agree that it's definitely up there as one of the most solid coffee stouts. I'm contemplating picking up a case to have one as breakfast every now and then.

    If you like this, drive out to Craft in Lake Elsinore and get their Ravens Stout.
    Very good small batch stout.

    Cheers!
