    Never passed on a beer, but I was in a situation where I was at a friends house and did not review the BCBS I was drinking. I regret not ticking that beer, because I'll probably never get to try another one.

    I also passed on a bottle of Assassin, a couple years ago, not knowing what it was. Luckily my brother-in-law knew what it was and picked up a bottle after I told him. He shared it with me!

    those MBC bottles you passed up where probably old as dirt, because unless they say lunch, dinner, or another one on the bottle they sit forever, and in my experience MBC stuff falls off really fast.

    At my weekly beer tasting they once had Sam Adams Utopias. For $10 you could try them. I didn't know what they were at the time, so I passed. What an opportunity it was!

    Kuhnhenn tapped raspberry eisbock on Friday and i was too tired to get off my butt and drive fifteen minutes there. I defended my choice by telling myself it would already be gone.

    Founders Bolt Cutter. It was at one of my local beverage centers and there were two bottles sitting on the shelf for like a year. I was in there one day and they were still there. I came back the following weekend to buy one and they were both gone :slight_frown:

    While I understand the historical/walez significance of Izzy, taste wise it wasn't that special, if that makes you feel any better.

    For those regretting passing on Maine beers I have a surplus of Peeper and MO should anyone be looking. They stock my local spot pretty regularly, the only ones I have trouble getting are Lunch and Dinner. Just send me a PM. Cheers!

    Over the years, to many to list. I do remember waiting a while to get into the Funky Buddha and Toppling Goliath lines at EBF last year, not a mistake I will make again this year.

    Last year i only picked up a single bottle of backwoods bastard, it instantly became my favorite beer, so i regret not picking up at least the whole 4-pack, this year i will not repeat the same mistake.

    Had not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 chances to buy Murda'd Out for $50/bottle at Three Floyds in the span of <2 months driving between Wisconsin and Michigan. At the same time, knowing what I know now, I probably wouldn't have bought 4 bottles of Murda'd Out, but I probably would have bought 1, maybe 2. SMH
