    I don't have the time, access, or funds to get a lot of beer I'd like to try, lots of things come before it in life

    True whales (things I'll never get)
    - Kbbs
    - vanilla rye

    Whales that seem to be out there, but I know it ain't going to happen:
    - Huna
    - dark lord
    - Mexican cake
    -CBS, I missed out on it multiple times, it just isn't in the cards for me.

    Whales (to me) that I have a chance of maybe getting one day
    - bourbon county, any of them, still have yet to have reg, variant, anything.
    - black note. It is possible since I am in Michigan, I just don't have he ammo

    It blows me away when I see the haul thread and people post up extras which are things I'd have to trade hard to just get. Let along what their real trade was for.

    Short's PB&J Stout, for both sentimental and taste reasons. It was on tap the first time I visited the brewpub, and that visit is what really kicked my love of delicious brew into high gear. It was on a flight with Chocolate wheat, Soft Parade, and one other brew I can't remember. Soft Parade is year 'round and Chocolate Wheat was made available in bottles last winter, but I still haven't been able to have the PB&J since. Hopefully the timing will be right one year and I'll be up north when it's available.

    Probably still Heady Topper, the holy grail of beers, although Green and Julius by Tree House I'd like to get as much or more. Truth be told, I haven't had a single world-class New England IPA yet, Alchemist/Lawson's/Hill Farmstead/Tree House/Trillium/The Other Half, etc. I'm brimming with curiosity to see if those beers are everything they're said to be.

    Me and a few pals have 2 cases of cake reserved for us. Should be going to pick it up before the end of July. We can do an IP in PGH sometime. Maybe at Brew Gentlemen? Shoot me a PM of what you could swap me for a bottle.
