Hardest Beer to Find

Kern Citra, Alpine Exponential Hoppiness. I've been into craft beer for over five years and those two are the only beers that I haven't had in the top 250 that I feel like I need to try.

 

That extra B is a killer.

ISO: KBBBS

 

I remember when KBS would sit on the shelf for weeks, now if you get a bottle its as good as it gets.

 

i can trade you a sixer...

 

God damn right. That 1 B is going to cost me my DB Huna.

 

amen

 

Toppling Goliath stouts are eluding me....

 

They have that in 4 packs at TW all over Tampa Bay and it also comes as a single bottle in a 6-pack sampler of "all" the St. Bernardus beers (Abt 12, Tripel, Prior 8, Pater 6, Witbier, Watou Tripel). The 6-pack sampler is $22.99 I believe.

 

Mine was Abyss and BCBS bc of small allocations to local shops as well as demand

 

TG stouts are eluding everyone. Only Assassin is really attainable right now. KBBS and MD are trading so high and there are so few out there for trade. I'm just waiting KBBS out till June when the 2014s hit.

And to the "life is too short to chase walez" concept, it's a hobby. Honestly, I love the free market aspects of craft trading and I'm addicted to making the deals. It's just fun to me. It's not as much about "OMG, u guise, check out mah looooonz!" as much as it's about the passion for craft beers and trying new things with your friends or bottleshare group.

 

You need a trade partner in Michigan. Pumking and FBS sit on the shelves for months. KBS and BCBS are a bit tougher but still not impossible for us to get. PM me if you want to do a locals trade. I might be able to knock out 2 of 4 for you right away.

 

We're still swimming in Founders Breakfast, man they produced a ton of it this year. Last year they were selling it for $4.50 a 4 pk to move it.

 

The down side is KBS is a one bottle and done, Founders distro confuses the hell out of me.

 

I have a friend in ABQ and he sends me La Cumbre stuff. If you can get La Cumbre, you can get any of the beers you mentioned even if they're not in your stores. There are a lot of people out there who would deal them $4$ for fresh Elevated or Dank.

You're welcome. If you feel like driving, get there early.

 

FBS is a tad easier to make than KBS just a little bit more of the FBS

 

DFH- Bitches Brew

i heard about it in high school and had to wait a few years before i could buy it, and then i couldn't find it for another year. all in all it was probably 5 years

 

The hardest beer for me to find has been CBS. Cantillon is incredibly hard also, but both are expected due to rarity.

As for beer that I actually found, Bourbon County Coffee in 2012 was ridiculously difficult to find.

I was actually lucky the only time I went to Vermont because the Prohibition Pig had Double Sunshine on tap and I was able to get a few bottles when I went to the farmers market the next day.

 

Thanks. I actually saw this already, but am not able to drive up that week... Maybe I'll catch the next farmers market they do
