    Thought this was a nice spin off of the "list 5 beers you want to try" thread. Over last year or so, what beers have you been dying to try for a while and finally got to acquire or taste some?

    My more recent ones (some might be a little more than 1 year):
    Lawson's Sip of Sunshine
    Westbrook Gose
    Bourbon County Barleywine
    Westy 12
    SA Utopias

    It's been a hell of a good year for me, as I've stepped up my beer-seeking game a lot.

    1) The entire 2015 Bourbon County lineup, except Proprietor's (never had any BC beers before)
    2) Sam Adams Utopias (The Splurge!)
    3) Pliny the Elder
    4) Heady Topper (though I also discovered Sip of Sunshine that day at the drop, and thought it the better of the two)
    5) Founders Canadian and Kentucky Breakfast Stout at the same time (KBS was better, to me)

    I was fortunate to have an opportunity to travel to Belgium back in March, and I was able to finally try quite a few whales.

    1. Westy 12
    2. Cantillon (Fou, LPK, LPG, 50N40E, St. Lam, Vig, and a few others)
    3. Julius
    4. Swish
    5. RR wilds (Supplication, Consecration, Temptation, Sanctification)

    Hoping to capture these in 2016: HF Everett, LPF, Double Sunshine, Focal Banger, and Dinner.
