Your "white whale"?

I've been focused on acquiring (hoarding if you ask my better half) rather than consuming. My list is still pretty extensive and hope to spend a better part of the coming year scratching things off it!!

 

FOU FOUNE!!!! Literally have had 3 different trades fall through for it, I think its just not meant to happen....

Although crossed off my other white whale (AB Cake) earlier this year and it was all I wanted and more!

 

They taste similar, but King Henry was better for me. Maybe after BCBW gets a few years of age on it it will even up.

 

Alpine Great.

I've been lucky enough to land some of my other major wants. But his one always eludes me.

 

LH12
Framboos 99

 

Alchemist Heady Topper and Hill Farmstead Abner, Society & Solitude are at the top of my list...at this point...I'm thinking it's going to take a long trip to Vermont to obtain these.

 

Heady...I couldn't be further away from Vermont.

 

I just landed my current one today, DDG, and 09 DDG at that. Other than that I'd like to try a really old LPG, an early beatification, and all that stuff everyone wants lol.

 

Had it fresh on tap a couple weeks back. Possibly the best beer I've had on draft (though this years zwanze, iris with cherries, is close as well.) Fresh is night and day different from a year or two old (fruit presence). In either form it is worth the hype, and the money.

 

Double Sunshine. I think I have the ammo, but nobody seems to want to part with one.

 

You can find Heady Topper pretty easily on this site. I just got one thrown in as an extra in a trade for Double Dose.

If you offer someone Pipeworks or Three Floyds, I am sure someone will offer you Heady.

My white whale is Fuzzy Baby Ducks. I live 2 hours from the brewery, and it's not worth it to make a trip if they never mention when it is on tap!

 

Filling out your gots list might help.....

 

Fou foune
And cantillon in general
Can't seem to lock anything down

 

Struise Black Damnation V: Double Black, or any of the paper-label (i.e., non screen-printed) bottles of the Black Damnation variants.

 

I really hope you enjoy it for she was my white whale too.

Say the following in a pirate accent:

"Arrgh, she was a disappointment, she was. Now, BA Narwhal, there is an improvement to be had."

 

I have these two. May not be "whales" but they are extremely difficult to find.
Both are for trade

Westy XII and Thomas Hardy (any vintage). I doubt that I have the goods to trade for them, though as I'm new to cellaring.

 

Prop, DBH, BA Abraxas and VSB.

I dream about them....often.

 

I could get some for you and the other two barrel aged, but they come with the heftiest of pricetags ($35/bottle), that's why they're so abundant up here

 

I have to go with ANY Upland sour.
