Great topic!

I travel often enough, so some of these are shelf turds in one state; and dont even get distroed to another. In no order:

Stone Delicious IPA
Souther Star Bombshell Blonde
The Brew Kettle White Rajah
Thirsty Dog BBA Siberian Night (this is the very best BBA stout thats easy to find, IMO)
Ten Fidy
Hops & Grain Pale Mosaic
Peppermint Victory at Sea
Parish Brewing Envie
Prairie BOMB!

 

Should be a short hunt. It's on the shelf at pretty much every beer shop and grocery store in Cleveland, even the gas station around the corner from me has it.

 

I've never really understood or liked the term 'shelf turds,' but I'll play along. In no particular order:

1). New Belgium 1554
2). Deschuetes Black Butte
3). Tallgrass 8 Bit
4). Great Lakes Dortmunder
5). Ballast Point Victory at Sea (which I find hilarious because six months ago folks in my market were clamoring for this beer and now couldn't care less)
6). Bells Two-Hearted
7). Oskar Blues Ten Fidy (same story as Victory at Sea)
8). Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
9). Revolution Anti-Hero
10). Founders Porter

 

where is this store?

 

Spirits Unlimited, Manahawkin. Ocean county. Exit 63 GSP

495 NJ-72 Manahawkin NJ 08050 (exact address) i was there two days ago so what im posted is mostly accurate. Id call to make sure 100% good luck.

 

Bells- two hearted
Left Hand- nitro milk stout
Founders- Mosaic promise
Oskar Blues-Ten Fidy
Prairie- Bomb!( been at the store every time I have since it came here, so it counts.)
North Coast- Old rasputin
Unibroue- La Fin Du Monde
Ommegang- Henepin
Victory- Dirt Wolf
Founders-Imperial stout( still stacks of last years around too!)

 

Funny - by the OP's definition, Toppling Goliath's Pompeii and xHOps would be shelf turds...

My list of beers I can get pretty much any day at most local bottle shops:
Any IPA/DIPA from Lagunitas...Maximus, IPA, Little sumpin' series
Fresh Squeezed from Deschutes
Any regular production IPA or PA from TG...they're on the shelf all the time now
Funkwerks Tropic King
Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad
Boulevard Double Wide
Boulevard Tropical Pale

That's really just a start. There are a boatload of great beers on the shelf all the time. We're in the golden age of craft beer and I love it. So much better than the small handful of options in 1990....
