    Pliny the Elder. I know it's not super rare but I'd love to give it a go. Zero chance of it making it to Louisiana ever.

    Easy trade. Trade $10 of your locals for 2 PtE.

    I'm with James; probably Bourbon Vanilla Dark Lord. Maybe Funky Buddha Wide Awake.

    I can personally confirm this. The beer is tasty though and the hike up to the brewery is a nice one.

    King Henry because it's King Henry and I don't know if they'll ever make it again.

    This is the opposite of what I want to see in Washington.

    Got to try wide awake earlier this month. Walk in to the brewpub and they had just put it on tap that day and they only tap it twice a year. Crappy story as to how I was able to go to Funky Buddha but my awesome wife let us make a stop on our drive from Orlando to Key West as our plan b vacation after getting denied boarding our cruise because she was beyond 24 weeks pregnant.

    Had maple bacon coffee at Hunahpu Day

    I've had it twice. It got better in the 7 months in between the two tastings of it. That beer is my desert island beer.

    That said, my "white whale" if you can call it that, is a 750 of Duchessic. I've had two of the 375's and I want a big format bottle to save until my 5 year anniversary with my wife, which will be in 2017.

    Pliny (jr and sr), and Westy 12.

    Strangely, I've not seen a Weihanstephaner in any store.

    False. The BA Dark Lords are good and all but much better on draft. Rare is Rare!

    This is mine as well, I suppose. It used to be Beatification B3, then Blabaer, then Cable Car. Luckily I've landed those :slight_smile:

    Younger.... in a place where I actually get to sit down and enjoy it without a million people around.

    So after lamenting my inability to land Z-Dust, I logged on to a full inbox this morning. After sifting through all the generous offers I have landed a f2f trade here locally. I want to thank everyone for their help in making my simple wishes come true!
    Prost!
