    Not buying more than one FW 2013 double DBA this summer due to price. One of the best beers I've had.

    Bourbon County Rare sat in my shop for a year.

    Walked past a wide array of Cantillon before the madness began. 8 bottles of Lou Pepe

    How about almost passes. I almost passed up a 4 pack of black note this year for 32$. I hadn't had the beer before so that price seemed quite steep. Ill pay 40$ next year for a 4 pack without batting an eye.

    I've had it since, but a while back I was at Pizza Stone, in Chester VT, and skipped on Hill Farmstead Edward on draught. I had just got into craft beer.

    Having just gone to the brewery this evening, I was under the impression that the barrel aged variants were only available there. But yeah, standard is everywhere around MA. Reasonably priced too!

    Victory at Sea. I know I'll find it again some day though. Parabola, maybe not, but $25 was just too much to spend.

    In my very early stages of craft drinking, I was at a bar who had approximately 200 cans of Heady Topper for sale for the night. Naturally, being a fan of only wits and stouts at the time, I passed on the opportunity. I'm kicking myself in the ass now.

    When I wasn't first starting to seek out better beers, I drove out of my way for a solo bottle of KBS. The store manager encouraged me to also buy a bottle of King Henry, but the price (at the time) seemed like a lot. Sigh.

    Yeah it was at Beerhive. They had it as of 9/6/14 which is when we were there. Excellent beer list. Had a parabola '14 while there along with a laundry list of Sours.

    Was three years ago and I had no idea what it was (had just gotten into craft beer). The image of seeing the bottle up close (and then not buying it) is seared into my brain.
