What's on your beerdar for 2016?

Spring trip to my spiritual home that is New England.

 

Clear some of the riff raff of the beer closet.

 

Hop JuJu & Chillwave

 

HiRes is the most recent surprise I'm stalking. Otherwise typical favorites like Hopslam, KBS, Parabola (fw boxes in general) 120 etc.

Hoping to score a lot of Backwoods Bastard this year - I had 2 4 packs tucked away til the weather got cold and they're dwindling. Also looking for year round Rubaeus to show up, more for my wife but think that's a pretty cool addition to the calendar.

Virginia specific - Alewerks Bitter Valentine soon, Hardywood Trickery in October, and Stone finally starting to brew in RVA come to mind.

 

When is the juju release?

 

More Kernel IPAs
Beer trip to London.
Week in Belgium with the car coming home full to the brim.
Brewdog/Cantillon colab (this may be a secret so, shhh)
Scottish breweries getting better and better.
Hopefully try some of these NE IPAs (chances of this happening are slim I realise)

 

Something from this list - apologies if it's already "out there" in the BA-landia webs.

Of Foam and Fury
Framboos
Loons (Belgium trip)
Blåbær( at Olbuttiken!)

Finally getting some hopslam and nugget nectar coming my way.

Pliny the Younger, yup me and the fellas hit the line four years and counting now.

This year I need to get my hands on some focal banger, double sunshine and some Julius

 

March, I think.

 

Re-Release of Miller Chill. With indigenous Limes from Guatemala.

 

Keeping it simple. Focusing on new releases and old favorites from the breweries that got me into craft - Victory, Founders, Troegs, Lagunitas, Dogfish Head etc. No whale chasing, though I was never big on that anyway. Attending Microbrew Invitational and perhaps Beervana. Should be a great year.

 

KBS
Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest- last years was unbelievable, can't wait to see what they and Mahrs cook up!
Firestone Walker- Parabola. One of my most wanted beers of 2016
Troegs- Nugget Nectar. Never had.
Founders- Mosaic Promise.
Stone- Pataskala Red X IPA.
Sixpoint- Hi-res.. If I actually see it.. Still not sure how the distro is so bad and I live in NY..
Weyerbacher- Sunday Morning Stout
Stone- 20th Anniversary. Their 19th Anniversary beer was killer.
Bourbon County variants. My area got none this year, and have only tried regular thus far.

Just some off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many, many more.

 

Saving up to hit one of the beer release parties. Leaning toward bbpt5 should be a fun one.

 

Beers in my cellar, time to start enjoying those aged beers more

 

Fundamental Observation b2.

 

Two Roads
Sam Adams (love seasonals and looking for nitros)
Sierra Nevada
Green Flash (favorite IPAs)
Sixpoint
