Your Top 10 Beer Wants

Not in any particular order. However, if I found any of this on the shelves of a store I'd probably drop whatever is in my hands to grab some.

Heady Topper (Had on draft once, but struck out at the brewery. Working on getting some soon, though)
GI BCBVS
Kentucky Brunch Imperial Stout
GI King Henry
Founders CBS
Pliny The Younger/Elder (Would like both, might get my hands on one or the other in Philly in Sept.)
Samuel Adams Millenium (Definition of a whale, I doubt this one will ever happen.)
Lawson's Maple Barrel Aged Fayston Maple Imperial Stout
On the Wings of Armageddon
Samuel Adams Triple Bock (For the sake of saying I tried it. Preferably a 94 or 95. Plus I think it could be interesting.)

 

Boulevard BBQ
Heady Topper
Hill Farmstead (any, but specifically Everett, Abner and Twilight of the Idols))
Hunaphu
Zombie Dust
Gumballhead
Fuller's London Porter on cask
Short's Uber Goober
BA Mexican Cake
Ballast Point Victory at Sea

...

Beers I wish would come back into my life...

Fresh Orval for one euro a bottle in Belgium.
Fresh pints of Pliny the Elder for 3.50 at happy hour in Berkeley.

 

1. 2013 Dark Lord
2. Brandy Huna
3. Vanilla Bean Dark Lord
4. King Henry
5. Bourbon County Vanilla
6. Alpine Exponential Hoppiness
7. Three Floyds Zombie Dust
8. Jack's Abby Smoked Maple Lager
9. Founder's Vanilla Stout (taproom only)
10. Sexual Chocolate

 

Not really a long list I'm more than happy with what I can get here, and I can easily trade for my favorites I can't.


PTY - I'll never see this one
BCBVS - same here too, I don't get whales in NC to trade for this.
I'd like to try Julius , completely foreign to me.
Fuzzy Baby Ducks, but I had Ghandi Bot and it was just ok, so this isn't a killer strong want.

I can live with KBS and BCBS, and I get enough HT and Abrasive in season I don't feel too deprived. Once a year or so I look for some ZD, and I'm good.

 

Welp, most of mine is going to be utterly predictable, but what the hell, right?

PtE
Heady Topper
Westvleteren XII
BBAVB Dark Lord
Hopslam

Zombie Dust

And three (slightly) less conventional and difficult-to-acquire ones that I still really, really want to try:
Jack's Abby Framinghammer (I know, I know, I live about 15 miles from the brewery...just never found the time to get out there.)
Fantome Saison
Ten FIDY

 

1) Sam Adams Millennium
2) PvW DL
3) Brandy Vanilla DL
4) Blauw
5) 3F Millennium
6) KBBS
7) Bass King's Ale

10) Canillon OG '96
