    Hoppin Frog Boris is always on the shelf, so is Nebraska.

    This.

    I opened a Rare when I found out my mailman's wife cut the grocery bills in half by switching to Walmart.

    I suppose if you lived in Chicago you could say BCBS, but I don't, and at $25 bucks a 4 pk it hardly qualifies as an everyday brew. Unless you have a lot of money to spend on BA brews you can drink everyday, I would suppose the real answer is there isn't one. Reality is that only Hoppin Frog is fairly well distributed, no idea on Nebraska , but it's always on the shelf here, but both are expensive IMO eliminating them from everyday status.

    I do like a lot of styles. The question is really around whether or not there is some widely available BA Stout that I hadn't stumbled upon. I think the general response seems to be "not really," but I appreciate everyone taking the time to chime in. :slight_smile:

    Make me an offer (especially if you have a bottle of Huna or Mexican Cake). :-)

    Central Waters Peruvian Morning (from WI no less) - outstanding. Not quite BCBS but very tasty. Best yet it's on the shelf and not behind it, grabbed another 4 pack just today.

    I'd say that's an excellent reason to open a Rare.
    The only beer you should need a reason to drink is bad beer.

    I just had BB Dragon's Milk and it's a great beer. I personally like the sweet subtleness of the brew. Would love to have more of it.

    That it is. And nectar is also a subsidiary of sorts of FW. Black Xantus is a delicious barrel aged stout that literally sits on shelves

    Oso brewing in Plover WI is starting to experiment with barrel aging. I didn't get any of the BA Night Train, but I guess a good portion of it was infected anyway.

    i may have taken the "everyday" part a bit too literally then...

    I think every bottle remaining at this point is unmistakably infected. It started out delicious though. So unless you would have drank it fresh, you didn't miss out.

    My entry would be thus: if I am wealthy, it would be BCBS because I would just buy cases of it each year. Realistically, none because I can't drink imperial stouts every day.

    Definitely Heresy. As a BA on here (I just wish I could remember who) said, it's poor man's BCBS.
