    It's a lengthy list since I've only been doing this for a few years. Rather than list 100 beers, I'll stick with a couple big ones...

    VBDL/Handjee
    Toppling Goliath stouts (KBBS, SR-71, MD and Assassin in order)
    Manbearpig
    Derivation

    Other than those that I have little chance of getting, I really want to spend 2 or 3 weeks in the NE hitting places like The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, Trillium and Treehouse.

    Lost Abbey is putting their newest batch on sale next Tuesday so hopefully that increases your likelihood of finding someone to trade with.

    Trillium/Alchemist (anything from there)
    Pirate Bomb!

    Urban Chestnut is great! I've been really impressed with their beer. Its really well done German style beers. If you are looking for anything specific that NJ doesn't get, let me know. I go to St. Louis once a month and tend to stop by the brewery for lunch.

    I appreciate it. German styles were my first love lol. And to hear the U.S. is cranking out amazing ones, its definately a must try.

    I have only had two beers from Russian River: Pliny and Damnation.

    So on my list would be anything else from Russian River. And those two again.

    Honestly nothing... but having said that, it's amazing how many beers I leave the store with when I only plan on buying one thing. One of these days I got to get this hook out of my mouth.

    I had one in my possession, and I sent it out as an xtra on a trade. Lol, I don't care for Belgian beers, might as well put it into the right hands.

    The original Yeti from Great Divide and then pick a variation. One thing I fell in love with when I moved to CO.

    Another one that I have wanted to try for a bit, kinda for novelty, the Voodoo Doughtnut beers. Anyone have any of those? Voodoo was another thing I fell in love with when I got to Denver.
