    What are some of your guys' favorite BBA beers that you don't have to go to some crazy event and wait in line for?

    Heavy Seas - Siren Noire and Blackbeard's Breakfast. Loved both of them and were only 6.99 - 7.99 the times I bought them.

    Backwoods Bastard is consistently good -- one of my go-to beers each November.
    Weyerbacher Insanity and Heresy in 4-pks.
    ATG London Balling (used to be easily available in midwest, not sure nowadays).
    SN BBA Bigfoot is not hard to find, but ~$20 for a 750ml (affordable?). Recently had a 2012 that was quite impressive.

    As tricky as they are to find in Maryland, ~$16 for FW's (non-anniversary) barrel aged beers is extremely fair, especially Sucaba or Parabola.

    ...okay, Velvet Merkin is a bit overpriced for what it is :stuck_out_tongue:

    I've seen that one around quite a bit. Wasn't sure about the style but maybe I'll have to grab a single to try it out.

    I agree on Backwoods Bastard and Heresy, also New Hollands Dragon Milk is a good one. Foothills BA People Porter is steal as well.

    Around here (Ohio), I love Thirsty Dog's Wulver and BB Siberian Night (both year-round shelfies @ $6/bottle). I think their distro is decent outside of Ohio too, right?

    Another vote for the Central Waters, especially the Bourbon Barrel Stout.

    Also bba Narwhal has been sitting for the past month at $18. Pretty good for what it is at least to me.

    Big Bad Baptist is usually a shelfer and is easy to get your hands on.

    I'll second that. Big Bad Baptist is a fantastic beer.

    All the Central Waters barrel aged beers that come in 4 packs and Big Bad Baptist. BBB is so easy to find and delicious.

    Allagash Curieux is not inexpensive by any stretch but it is readily available and quite superb.
