2017 Beer Wish List

Legible "bottled on" dates based on a common calendar

 

Would like to try Mexican Cake, Ninja vs. Unicorn, any Trillium, and Parabola.

Would like to see Pipeworks and Firestone Walker break in to the Iowa Market in 2017...

 

Love this topic...want to keep it going.

In my 2017 dream I see more Jester Kings beers being released across the state. Nothing against Austin, that drive just gets old.

Also, Parish Brewing starts distroing to Houston,TX.

 

1. Start trying out some of the Tree House options.
2. Both Pliny's
3. To visit a few breweries near me (Crooked Can, Red Cypress, Reprise)
4. Any IPA or Stout from Resurgence

 

It's already looking like a good 2017 for Missouri

Toppling Goliath
Dogfish Head
Roughtail (probably)
Bruery

 

Everything canned.

 

My vision of 2017, which I have entitled the lagers take over, is kind of like the blob but instead of running away screaming, they are running out of beer and screaming for more. =).

 

More Bier de Gardes
More Smoked Beers
More Cream Ales
More Munich Helles Lagers
More Baltic Porter
More English IPAs
More ESBs

 

2016 was a stellar year for me in the beer drinking dept. /bucket list of beers conquered.

For 2017 my list is small, I'll keep looking for a 3Fbottle and maybe try to trade for some Tree House stuff. That is pretty much the only 2 things I'm interested to "chase" after or trade. Now it's working on my homebrewing experience, visiting locals and mixed sixer buys of quality shelf beer. My vote for Born Yesterday as the shelf beer of 2016 (albiet short lived/kinda hard to find in my area).

 

I want dogfish in Iowa. More canned beer, a local that makes some great Berlinerweisses should be canning soon, looking forward to that. More BA stouts, can't get enough. And I personally want to get to 50 beers in the top 250.

 

CBS is returning to bottles in 12 and 22oz this year

 

Cigar City available in Connecticut..

 

I wish someone would start brewing beer in Indiana that eliminated the need for this... also, in every other part of the country.

 

Hopefully it's a big enough batch to actually land some.

 

More breweries offering Crowlers.

Big ABV beers in smaller formats.

 

My wish is every beer is no less than a six pack . I don't get four packs. No matter how rare a beer is produced there is really no good reason to lessen the sale of the beers at only four. Six pack should always be the beer standard. At four beers I just feel the brewers are just trying to get the most money from beer connoisseurs. I think it's time to pay for what we want to drink . I don't want to be limited to what they think we should pay for.

 

I hope to try these for the first time in 2017:

Very Green
ANTEAD
Atrial
Any Soak by Trillium
A new Derivation
Vanilla Bean Abraxas
Casey Jammy

 

For me, living in NJ we've seen some distribution improvement with Evil Twin and Westbrook but I'd like to see some of the stuff going to Philly and NY get here. There really is no good reason why we don't get Singlecut, and I think they are very under the radar. I would also like to see Wicked Weed shelfies show up here as a high quality Sour option. I'd be happy with that.

 

Also similar note in NJ - what about bells? Grimm? Cigar city? At least bells - it's already in pa and ny. Also a chance at some night to end all dawns would be nice
