Three Most Elusive Beers

Westy...

 

Presume you are referring to regularly brewed beers (at least once a year)?

There are various beers that get brewed as a one off for specific beer festivals (quite often variations of existing recipes) so these would surely be rarer than anything listed above?

 

1. Pliny the Younger
2. Anything from Alpine
3. Kate the Great

 

1. Kaggen Stormaksporter
2. Stormaksporter
3. Dirty Horse

Cheers!

 

1. Double Sunshine
2. King Henry
3. Double Sunshine
4. Did I mention Double Sunshine?

 

1) Blaeber
2) BA Darklords
3) Pliny the Younger

That's really the one whale I'd probably give up a lot to get but I'm at the point now where I know I'll never get it.

 

1. Kate
2. BCBS Rare
3. Any second tier cantillon (St. Lam, vigneronne, mamouche, etc.)

 

1. Cantillon Soleil de Minuit
2. Cantillon Bourgogne Lambic
3. 3Fonteinen "Selectie C"

 

1. Pliny the Younger
2. Duck Duck Gooze
3. HF Mimosa

Thanks to some great BAs, I've been lucky enough to cross off a lot of my top wants over the last year. Things like Double Sunshine, Citra, Rare, King Henry, Heady Topper, and Pliny the Elder were all on my list at some point. Good luck on your quest OP.

 

Really surprised to see PtY listed so many times so far. I know it's all about where you live (which is true of a lot of the most elusive beers), but two years in a row I just happened to walk into the right bottle shop at the right time and Pliny the Younger was pouring. I don't even consider myself that much of a beer geek, so if it's that easy for me to get it, then it can't be all that elusive.

Actually, same goes for Abyss, Hopslam, Alpine beers, Westvleteren... I've had them all and they weren't very hard to get.

My list would probably be something like:
King Henry
Chocolate Rain
Mother of All Storms/Beatification (tie)

But after I've gotten these, they probably won't seem so elusive either.

 

For me:
Bourbon County
Cantillon anything
3F anything

The big Belgian sours disappeared and only reappear for .00005 seconds before theyre bought out.

 

1.) DL variants
2.) Blabaer
3.) Rare D.O.S.

More than 'elusive'...

 

Pick any three beers from Hill Farmstead

 

PtY
BCBS Rare

OP - although Heady is fantastic, the more I drink it, the less impressed I become. To put it in other words, for me it becomes a very good DIPA instead of great. Bring on the hate...

Cheers!

 

OP, i dont think that abyss is all to hard to come by if you are willing to trade.

 

"I don't even consider myself that much of a beer geek"

You're on BA everyday my friend and look at the beers you just listed. I hate to break it to ya...You are a beer geek.

Cheers!
