    Central Waters Brewers Reserve anything. It sits forever in the NW corner of the state. I can still find last years barleywine on the shelf up here right now.

    I have not paid attention to their production but any pep back into the Guinness is welcome I love the beer and need to get some again, always a perfect beer for me.

    I guess Oskar would be one I just take for granted, always around in stores and just a fantastic line of beers.

    Yeah , from what used to be reported about the Canadian version, it utilized what was called 'essence'- which seemed to be similar to sinamar except that it came from the St. James brewery. The last ones that I had from Ireland had that more genuine and distinct roast grain quality to it.

    Zombie Dust. I used to live 1.5 miles from FFF until about 2 months ago. Was always able to make the 3 minute drive and pick up a case or two of a super fresh batch with no wait. People up in Oak Park where I live now go nuts when they see it on the shelf...

    We get so much stuff, it's safe to say we are spoiled for choice. I suppose, excluding Trillium (which is on shelves at times), Jack's Abby (Hoponious, Kiwi Rising, Saxonator and others) and Night Shift (Whirlpool, Santilli and Awake) stand out as beers that many would like to be able to get regularly.

    At the moment, the fact that I can walk into most stores and grab a 4 pack of Kiwi Rising for $12 is incredible. It's a beer that is every bit as impressive as those people are lining up and driving hundreds of miles for.

    Good call on Whirlpool especially. My favorite pale ale other than FPPA.
