    Or aren't distributed any more. Maybe some day I will make a trip to Williamsburg VA to enjoy my favorite all time favorite beer Alewerks BBP (look it up) or maybe I won't ... What I do know is this beer was actually distributed to Philly circa idk 2011 - 2012? And in 2014 I could travel to DC / Northern VA and get it by the case So here we go ... it's just a list of things I miss, tell me yours.

    the mentioned above.
    2014 Rapadou. See my review, I think it's one of my best. Eastern Shore, MD. duh.
    Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel (read the reviews or at least mine).
    Sam Adams Double Bock. yea.
    Weyerbacher Double Simcoe. yea.
    Weyerbacher unfiltered Double Simcoe. This was a great cork and cage for $7,
    Weyerbacher Double Simcloud. In the beginnings of the stupid NE IPA craze this was actually amazing. A one off I was glad to have tried.
    Any 2012 Bourbon County, the greatest beer of all time.

    Have a great Saturday dinner everyone. Yes, of course. I'm bored.

    I miss anything from @CapeMayBrewCo since I can't get it where I live. Really enjoy their beers. Makes our annual vacation that much better.

    Young's Oatmeal Stout. It is likely my favorite all-time beer. Timothy Taylor Landlord is up there. I can't find it around here now. And Klaster, a fine Czech beer, that was redirected for Asian distribution. Also, Brakspear Bitter.

    Any and all Black/Cascadian IPAs that were in wide distribution.
    (I'm sure you guys are going to get tired of me saying this in every similar thread. I don't care, I'll shut up when they make a come back or sooner if any traders can come through.)

    Wow, bringing me back to the first time I ever had Weyerbacher Double Simcoe on tap at Yard House Fenway in Boston in like 2011... nice. I recall I was there to go see Volbeat with a friend of mine back then at the House of Blues. I'm not sure the beer would stand up to criticism these days if it were kept the same, but it was certainly an aggressive and intense beer back then!

    Remember Riserva from the same brewery? Yikes, that one could get super acetic and enamel-peeling when it wanted to. I actually kinda miss Weyerbacher's stupid experimental stuff. I'm sure I'll think of more to post here as the night goes on. Good thread.

    DFH.....ancient ales

    Allagash ....old HLT

    Bear Republic....Tartare

    Schlitz. Yes, I know it's shit beer and probably available somewhere. But I miss the Schlitz that my Grandpa used to let me sip sitting on his dock while I was visiting him when I was like 5. And yes also, that was probably horribly irresponsible of him, but I still love him and miss him, and would kill to have that beer one more time.

    May sound strange but I miss Pete's Wicked Ale. Probably because my first really serious girlfriend loved it. Lol. Man we had some good times. It also ws the first beer I tried to replicate in homebrewing. Didnt quite match it, but close enough. I might have to brew that again just for memories.

    I really miss the beers from Great Lakes Brewing Company since I moved to Florida about five years ago. I occasionally look at their website and realize they have added what appear to be very good beers I most likely will not taste.

    Oskar Blues/Cigar City Bamburana was supposedly a one-off, and though it may still be on shelves a few places it may not become available again, which would be a crying shame. OB/CC should really consider making shat annually and expand production a bit. It never turned up here though I got some in a trade.
