    Dude/dudette, you live in Illinois, you gotta be able to get something to trade for those, no?

    Not interested in the true whales for some on this site but my only ISO trade threads with repeated fails have been Black Tuesday variants GM & CR so I guess they qualify for me as personal whales.

    Not really crazy but I've just wanted to try any Hill Farmstead brews. Not picky on what to be honest. I've done enough trading and could probably pull something together to get some of these, but just not totally sure what.

    Same goes for Lawson beers. Really want to try Sip of Sunshine and should be fairly easy to get, but just haven't put together the right things to land it. Also haven't tried as aggressively for it as I have with others.

    I think I can get these with the proper effort. I haven't done a lot of research, but mine are:

    Founders CBS
    Jackie O's Bourbon Barrel Black Maple

    I know for a fact I have had the opportunity for CBS. Work got in the way both times. I think I will be able to get my hands on a pour before the year is up. I have done very little reasearch on the Black Maple, but if it's part of one of their release parties, I think I may be able to get that one too, so stay tuned.

    I wouldn't call these others whales, but also after any highly regarded Kolsch or any Kolsch for that matter. Mühlen Kölsch, Endless River, Sprang and Big Sprang are my top wants in that category.

    And of course I would try any of the big beers that I haven't tried already mentioned if they came my way. I'm not sweating them though. The two up there are the ones I want the most and the search is ON.

    I've had both (thank you Extreme Beer Fest 2015) and both are worth tracking down.

    I had a bottle of the first CBS. sadly it was past its prime. I'd like to shoot for that again, but alas I don't get out on the firing range much anymore.
