Your "white whale"?

Hill Farmstead. And sure some Heady would be nice.

Happy to have crossed Double Sunshine and Dark Lord off my list at Hunahpu Day this year though.

 

I gotta change mine to king henry...i want it bad and can't seem to shake one free haha. i'll keep posting it in my iso's though.

 

If you are in the Raleigh area I have a bottle I'd be willing to trade

 

J&J Blauw, Rodenbach Alexander.

 

What are you looking for from OMB? Easy enough for me to get my hands on and I'd be willing to work out a trade with you.

 

We have one lonely bottle of that left. It is going to be shared with 2 friends. It has held up well, so if you can find it in a trade, get it.

 

Not sure which one you're referring to, but I've tried to trade for both to no avail

 

The Alexander, my edit did not take. I had bought a 6 pack about 12years or more back.

 

Left Hand Smoke Jumper - until I got two bottles are few weeks ago.

I guess Heady Topper, Alaskan Smoked Porter or more than a single can of OTWOA.

 

That's awesome. Super jealous of you, I've written that one off as something I'll likely never obtain, just because the asking price is so high for it now.

 

Not sure how far away in Maryland you are, but just a heads up, at the brewery you can buy cases of OTWOA. They still had cases on 4/19 that were canned on 4/11, plus if you call ahead you can pick them up any day of the week. They don't typically sell out crazy fast anymore too.

 

I guess Heady Topper. There's no chance of making it up to the part of the country and I don't have any tradeable beers. Perhaps a jester king sour would get some heady?

 

I am aware. I metro to work, and don't go anywhere near where the brewery is. Maybe I'll make a trip one day.

 

Yes, a Jester King sour would get you plenty of Heady. I got a half case of Heady in exchange for a single MvB and CdT last week. Wasn't hard at all. Prairie stuff like Bomb, Noir, Bible Belt would easily get it too. If you're close to San Antonio, Freetail would work. And SA Pumpkinator would likely get you some too, growlers of Live Oak Hefe would be worth a shot too. You'd be surprised how much tradeable stuff there is in Texas.

 

Very true. I'm in North Texas and have yet to see a single prairie around locally (my wife grabbed some Bible belt in Fort worth). I usually only make it to Austin three times a year and drink everything personally. I'll just have to plan ahead

 

Don't bother. Bourbon County Barleywine is just as good, if not better.

 

really...still like to have it just to have the bottle I suppose but that's good to know prince henry is excellent. I had it right next to sucaba and prefered the prince.

 

At this point it's Double Sunshine. A few hours away, but getting there isn't the easiest when you're married, have one kid and one on the way.

 

Try Mugs Alehouse in Brooklyn. I had a 2007 Kriek for $20. Reasonable...
also try Beermenus.com. you can find Cantillon in bars/rest but they are pricy - its just about how much you want to shell out for it!
But if you were going to spend some cash - just go to belgiuminabox.com and get a bunch for just a little more...
Good luck!

 

Thanks for the tip! I've walked past that place a bunch of times, but never been in. I've been trying to avoid ordering from Etre or BiB due to the crazy shipping, but I will definitely check Mugs out this weekend.

I'd also like to share that I got a very thoughtful trade offer for a Cantillon Gueuze from a fellow BA, minutes after my initial post. It's always a pleasure to see the support in this community.
