    Hi all,

    I do some regular trading (not on BA) with a buddy who lives in central Missouri, that primarily consists of me sending him Alchemist Celia Saison (he's a former beer drinker with excellent taste who sadly now has celiac). Typically I've been having him send me Schlafly stuff - curious if there is anything else specific I can ask him for that we don't get here in New England.

    Not looking for brewery only releases or anything - just good shelf beer I can't get here in Boston. Any suggestions appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Another vote for Perennial. What about Boulevard?

    Boulevard is awesome. Would highly suggest rye on rye and saison Brett.

    TIPA is good as well, but American IPA is probably my favorite Schalfly release.

    Would be nice to do a side by side. I really like the tropical fruit taste and sticky sweet feeling of AIPA. TIPA is a little more crisp and one dimensional. Both worth seeking out IMO.
