November/December snags, ignoring the 2015 BCBS lineup-

1. Rare 2010 - Traded approx. half the farm but was pretty fair and perhaps my first serious whale
2. Prop '14 - was out of town for Black Friday '14 and it has remained elusive until now...
3. Mexican Cake - I like the style and it has been a want of mine for a few months, but could never seem to lock down a trade until I got some bcbs 2015 ammo
4. Black Friday - have wanted to snag a Bruery stout since getting into BBA stouts, and enjoying a sample of Chocolate Rain at FoBAB... Won the lottery, good beer but honestly a 750 of 20% beer is rough, prefer a 12oz bottle or beer that is closer to 13-14% alcohol
5. Cantillon Gueze - have wanted to try this since trying 3F Gueze. I liked 3F better, but still a solid beer. Cantillon trades too damn high

 

Great year of beer for me. For me, Whalez also includes beer that I never thought would see, maybe not just rare in nature. With that in mind, my #1 this year was Prairie BOMB!, found in a convenience store in Vt. #2 is also found, but not easily, Canadian Breakfast Stout. Had it on tap, and even at the higher price point I had to get 2 pours. #3 BA Old Baba Yaga in Cognac barrels. For me, the barrel used and flavor given makes this a Whale upon itself. Never even knew this was an option, but it is now my favorite Bear Republic beer. #4 KBS, because I never thought I'd see it, and have had it twice this year and got a bottle. Finally, #5 is a home town team. Jacks Abby makes the best lagers I've had, both hoppy and barreled age. I got a bottle of the PB&J BA Framinghammer which is a Baltic Porter. Great beer, brewery only, once a year sort of thing. However, it was released on the day of my Daughter's birth. My fav. brewery and my wifes fav. food group..combined!!!
Happy New Year

That's what I thought but the OP went on to describe the purpose of the thread as "Over last year or so, what beers have you been dying to try for a while and finally got to acquire or taste some?" He never mentions anything about regretting it o anything else that resembles resentment. I think he meant recently but just doesn't know how to spell.

I didn't resent catching them , but KBS, CBS, and '15 BCBS (though I haven't tried this yet)

 

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then.
