    Cable Car made my list today. I've been negotiating a deal on and off for 10 days! Three days after negotiations break down, the guy messages me to say he found the plus I wanted and the trade is back on. Plan was to ship today. This morning I wake up to find a message saying, "Hey man I got some terrible news. I just realized I am out of Cable Car."

    It's not that better on draft, even. I still drank a couple of pints at Monk's, but I totally agree, just bitter pine hop extract. Blind Pig is better. (Same goes for Younger)

    For me, right now there isn't really an 'ever evading beer' simply because I'm not 'chasing' anything much anymore and just about everything is available if you work hard enough or are willing to spend enough money.

    Prior to a couple weeks ago I guess Gandhi Bot was one that always eluded me, being not too far away from distro, but then again I never put in any effort to try to buy/trade for it.

    BA vanilla Bean Dark Lord, the TG stouts, etc I'd love to try, but I'm not willing to spend the money or trade away my cellar. I even HAD a bottle of BA Vanilla Bean Dark Lord, but traded it away when a killer ISO was posted. If it falls into my lap one day (tasting, on tap, etc), then great. Otherwise it's not worth the value that others have attached to it.

    A lot of beers people are mentioning above... aren't that.... hard to get if you trade

    I live in Seattle and I can trade for some or most of them... which means... it just ain't that hard...

    Please sir let me know the easy trade routes of PtY and Zhukov's Final Push. If you could toss in Blauw and See the Stars as extras I'd appreiate it

    It's gotta be Batch 23 Damnation from Russian River for me, just off the top of my head.

    But never say never...

    Maine Lunch. It sells out so quick when it gets distributed here. Besides that, every other hard-to-get good beer that sells out in no time. Hopefully now I'm getting better at seeking brews.

    just outside of Boston. I could take a drive up to Freeport, ME but it's a trip for some beer. I need to take a good road trip around New England some day to get some Alchemist, HF, MBC, and need to go to Tree House sometime...

    3F Framboos, 1999. Though I could try the more readily available one.

    Lunch is easy to find in the Boston suburbs. PM me and maybe I can suggest places. It is nearly always behind the counter.

    My list would include:
    Maine Dinner: (I'm not spending a whole day in line for it)
    Focal Banger: should be solved by this summer with the new brewery...I do have a house in Vermont
    Pseudo Sue and King Sue
    Parabola. I've had it at tastings, always miss it in bottles

    I have what I call the curse of the CBS. Have had 3 opportunities to try it here. Once I was deathly ill, once I had a very important school exam the next morning and the last time I had to work. The beer gods just have it out against me on this beer.
