    A couple Kane releases but that's just because of the fact they're draft only and I never got down to the brewery. Every corked and caged series release I've wanted, I got.

    NG bourbon barrel kriek technically got to try it on tap at great taste last year but 2oz was not enough. Also Central Waters Exodus has so far eluded me.

    Sante Adairius Rustic Ale's West Ashley...It was on tap at a bar for 20 minutes, then it was gone. I got there about 15 minutes too late.

    I've been wanting to try Green Flash's Silva Stout for a while.

    You're gonna like it. It goes with ice cream. ( I'll start buying more cards.) :wink:

    Funny thing is we'll get it but someone in illinois will get it first. Go figure.

    Switch Raspberry Truffle Abduction for Citra Ninja and I'm in the same boat. Tried every other ninja and unicorn except for that damn citra.

    Heh. You're more right than you know...I work in a liquor store, and our beer manager has in his private box in the cellar three bottles of Imperial Stout Trooper itself. Along with half a dozen bottles of KBS, a bottle each of Dark Lord and Big Black Voodoo Daddy, and a handful of other beers that I desperately covet...but who's counting? (Me. I'm counting.)

    Cherry Adam from the Wood. I could probably get it, but the price always makes me hesitate.

    There's rare beers from Colorado that I've never gotten to try, but I can't think of any that I've especially wanted to try. This state seems to prefer seasonals and year-rounders... and I love it for that.

    I've actually had this beer, but Free State Old Backus Barleywine is really hard to get even here in Lawrence despite living within walking distance of the brewery.

    It's a top-10 American barleywine here on BA and used to be #1 for the style a few years ago, but they've never bottled it and I think that the resultant lack of tradebility has resulted in less hype and a slipping rating. On top of being tap-only, they never announce when they're going to tap it, so every time they do there's a flurry of text messages and hoards of people rush downtown to get some.
