    Those gnarly derivations at the obnoxious 100 bottle count level. Best chance I'd have at those would be to give up a van winkle bottle

    BBBM will be released again in October i believe at the brewery. It will probably stick around for awhile.

    At this point it's probably Damon. Nothing else at this point has excited me too much after what I tried. Lots of other beers I would love to try but not enough to hunt down.

    Not a trader, so "actively seeking" means actively wanting to go to a place that serves/stocks it.

    Not super-rare, just sounds so friggin' good.
    Montreal's only 6 hours from me, so I figure it'll happen before long, then, I'll allow myself one new must have.

    Double Sunshine. Has eluded me for quite some time now.

    Would love to have it, but after the fiasco that was the Triple Sunshine release I'm not even going to bother seeking it out any more. I'm sure it's amazing but I can get SoS far more easily so I'll just stick with that.

    it was Founders CBS until yesterday! I checked my phone on the way to my next stop.

    Someone on a NJ craft beer facebook page posted that CBS was tapped about 5 mins from me. 10 mins later i had it in my hand. Never expected to get that lucky.

    WOOO and damn it was good....

    Take a pair of scissors to a large box, use tape, get creative. Easier than you think.

    Pipeworks' barrel-aged The Abduction. My usual craft store received zero bottles from the distributor, and the only tappings of it I've heard about were during CCBW, which I missed because I was out of town that week. The rumor is that BA Abduction will be an annual release -- maybe I'll have better luck next year. I'd love to know what this beer tastes like, but I don't want to obsess over it.

    Also, Founders CBS. It has been tapped multiple times around Chicago the past few months, but every time, I have missed it. I'm always either out of town or simply can't get there fast enough. A few months ago, I was able to get a sip from a friend who got the last pour, so at least I can say that I've tasted it.

    Beyond that... some of the usual suspects: DBHuna, SR-71, and BCBS Rare.

    For me its any of the FiftyFifty Imperial Eclipse Stouts I can get my hands on. I was born in Reno, and had been to Truckee many times before my folks moved us out to Colorado around middle school. Been back to Reno like twice since I could buy booze and haven't been up to Truckee since I lived in Reno. Just gonna have to suck it up and get out to see the family sometime coincidentally around a certain release date.

    It shouldn't be hard to acquire either of these through a trade. It appears you're from Illinois meaning you have goose island, half acre, PipeWorks, Revolution, and a few others at your disposal. I've personally traded PipeWorks to get heady and I had to trade to get the PipeWorks first.

    Lawson's Triple Sunshine. Cantillion Geueze 2011, love to get Cycle Brewing coconut imperial stout again, that was the best beer I've ever had. Etc.
