    I got to try SoS and double Sunshine at GABF this year. The line was so short that I was able to go through 4 times. It's worth it.

    For me, Heady Topper is probably the biggest one right now. Psuedo Sue, Tropicalia, Koko Buni and anything else I really want to try that I can't get out here.

    I don't hunt for white whales, I'll drink them if they land in my lap, but I'd rather just homebrew something similar and I'm pretty happy.

    Westy 12 for me. A friend claims his client is bringing him a case from Belgium, that was 4 months ago and nothing. I'm headed to London in a few weeks on business, not sure if there is any chance of snatching a bottle somewhere? I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Oh yeah and CBS. every time it's on tap somewhere close I can never make it, like legit have an obligation I can't get out of. We were driving up north this summer, it was on tap at Table and tap in Flint, my wife and I were gonna stop so I could fulfill my dream, but our 16 month old had fallen asleep so waking him up before a 3 hour drive was out of the question. I swear I'm cursed when it comes to this beer.

    My current white whale is from Modern Times. It's name is Palace of Crackheads. I don't even know if I'll like it but the name alone is what makes me want it so much.

    I haven't tried to get ahold of it, per se, but the only beer that I currently regard as an achievable yet strongly-desired goal is Parabola. I'm not sure how hard it is to get, but I would LOVE to get my hands on a bottle. 2 if at all possible, for aging purposes.

    I'm not sure I even have one anymore. At this point I'd probably trade anything I have for a regular source of fresh Bamberger Herren Pils and Cantillon (normal) Kriek.

    How times have changed over a 4 month time span. Having tried both of those beers and landing another in trade I never thought I would (Vanilla Rye), I guess I need to nominate another few personal WWs:

    1. MBC Dinner
    2. Fou Foune
    3. Fundamental Observation
