    As it turns out there is a Russian Market 10 minutes from my house. Thanks for the suggestion. Now I wonder if there's a Belgian Market for that faro beer.

    For a Faro you might check online at the Total Wine locations you have in Florida. I know I've seen at least one Faro on offer during a stop at a Total Wine in DE while driving through a trip to VA.

    Edit: BTW the one I tried was from Lindeman's and was almost poured out since they use artificial sweetners and I'm a taster so I don't find beverages that use them pleasant at all.

    I travel to Helsinki about every 1.5-2 years and never picked up any, just mostly drank Lapin Kulta, lol. Asked my cousins but they say they are hard to find, decent ones that is.

    Lindemanns Faro is around. If you really want to try the style, I'm sure you could score it in a trade for some FL beers.

    This Malt Liquor is fairly drinkable - they just don't produce it often: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/231/43401/

    I have had 94 of the BA styles. Most are readily available and I have just not pulled the trigger yet (Biere Brut, Unblended Lambic, etc). The only one that I don't know how I'll find any happoshu though. I have never seen a bottle.

    I can get you a hopposhu any day of the week. Any faro beers in your area?

    The only one I see in my area is Lindeman's. As others have said, its not great, but it'll get you the tick.

    If Captain Lawrence makes Hopsomniac again, I can totally hook you up.

    I walk by a liquor store on the way to work that has Coedo Beniaka. Ill pick you up one. Theyre only like 4 dollars though. How much is the Lindeman's? I can make up the difference with something local.

    Just cracked this Kvass. Probably won't be buying too many more of these.

    If you ever make it to Colorado, there's a brewery in Boulder called Fate that does a pretty good Coffee IPA.

    Now that you mention it I've made a list of the styles that have eluded me:

    1. Gose (which I really, really, really want to try but no one brews it or imports it to Australia... yet)
    2. Faro - quite elusive here
    3. Braggot - I think Stone & Wood did one a couple years back but I missed it
    4. Wheatwine - again I don't think Australia imports this style at all and no one makes it here
    5. Unblended Lambic - surprisingly I can only find Gueuze - no one here seems to know what an Unblended Lambic is "You mean a Gueuze?" is a common reply to my questions in boutique beer shops
    6. Roggenbier - nope
    7. Kvass - but I know a place in Brisbane that would likely sell it and I'll be there this coming weekend

    I'm currently on a Pokemon-esque campaign to "Catch them all!", and I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before I do [insert evil laugh here].
