    Kern River Citra. Which is dumb, since I'm a few hours from the brewery. Also, most of New England's hoppy stuff. Lawson's, Swish, Hill Farmstead, etc etc.

    I know it's not a true "white whale" but I'm still looking to find a 4 Hands Madagascar from last year.

    The ones that drive me crazy are the locals I can't seem to get my hands on - NEBCO Locust or Storm Trooper , etc.

    Right now for me it's Bells black note and Mexican Cake. I'm rather new to the whole craft beer collecting, but these are two that I am wanting to try the most.

    @MikeCross, tip for Pliny: if your family members are really looking, Pliny gets delivered to Whole Foods around the Bay Area. I'm not sure of distro to the rest of the state but I'm thinking that it probably goes to many of WF stores statewide. In San Jose, they usually get it every 2 weeks, either on Tuesday or Thursday. It gets there around midday. It's usually gone in 2-3 hours, so I always go right at lunchtime to check in. You can call ahead too and sometimes they know if it's coming, and sometimes they don't. You basically have to have a convo with the Beer guy in WF to get the lowdown. Your fam can get you some Pliny, it just requires a bit of persistence and timing.

    I was fortunate enough to try a lot of the beers that would have otherwise been on this list such as Prairie Bomb, Pliny, ZD, BCBS and KBS.

    Heady has still proven to be out of my reach though. Would also like to try Founders Breakfast Stout. Have two bottles of Mexican Cake coming my way though which I am really looking forward to.

    Anything from Hammerheart Brewing Co. out Minnesota aka "the guy from Panopticon". I just can't seem to track it down using online searches to see if anywhere in the state of Ohio sells it, and no luck so far :/

    Had it at the last release and it was alright. If you really want to try it make the trek to churchills and buy a bottle for onsite consumption otherwise you have to wait all night for the chance to buy a couple bottles. Not worth it.

    Over the past few weeks I've been able to finally get a bunch that have been eluding me for a while: Julius, Heady, Double Citra, Second Fiddle, Trillium, Blind Pig, Supplication, Dinner, a few de Gardes, etc...

    Still on the hunt for these:
    Fuzzy Baby Ducks
    HF Susan (missed it by a day last week)
    King Sue
    Focal Banger
    Duck Duck Gooze
    Fuzzy

    Thanks to Sun King for opening their new Tap Room and a special thanks to 3 Floyd's for tapping Zombie Dust, Permanent Funeral and Dark Lord at the Grand Opening!

    I had had Zombie Dust but was finally able to check off Permanent Funeral and Dark Lord and they were both worth the wait.
