    I haven't had any of their barrel-aged beers, but here are the beers that I think are worth the oft-hefty price tag:
    • Even More Jesus
    • Aun Mas Jesus (and Aun Mas Jesus Cafe, if you can find it)
    • Bible Belt (Collab. with Prairie)
    • Imperial Biscotti Break (though I don't enjoy the variants as much)
    • Torst Front Room and Torst Back Room
    Specifically NOT worth the price:
    • Justin Blabaer
    • Christmas Eve in a New York Hotel Room
    • Cowboy
    • Hipster Ale

    Love evil twin. Kinda addicted to it.

    They make awesome dark stuff... so biscotti break, (even better natale- "with a cherry on top"), lil'B, even more jesus, aun mas jesus is even better (although I seldom see it in a shop), double barrel jesus, and even more Denmark was an awesome chocolate beer (only available @ whole foods). Falco (a rather refreshing IPA) is great... when it's fresh. Christmas in a NYC hotel room was surprisingly good as well.
    My fav of all time was probably the even more jesus aged in port barrels... although I think that was a very limited release.

    Of that list, the most likely available will be falco, lil'B, even more jesus, and if you're lucky biscotti break. But, with my experience, when the delivery truck comes, there are always some evil twin limited release gems... they make a lot of different ones... so hopefully, you'll luck out.

    I'll throw out another beer just because all of the staples, IBB, Jesus, Molotov, Blaeber, etc have all been mentioned (and of all the above, I'd recommend IBB the most. Excellent beer!). I had Nomader Weisse a few nights ago and I thought it was tasty. Not extremely sour but tart and refreshing. I've seen it described as Westbrook Gose without the salt and I would have to agree. It's a bit pricey for a 6-pack so if you can find it in singles and you're into sours, I'd check it out.

    It is probably a crapshoot on which places have what ET beer. BA Imperial Biscotti Break is awesome, bought another bottle last month. I can almost always get at least 5-10 different kinds of ET beers where I live. Might be different availability in other states that they distro to though.

    I thought the same thing. That it was only done once. Jeppe told me this. I didn't make it up. You can ask him.

    Noone has mentioned Freudian Slip yet? I was hoping someone had something to say about this massive barley wine since I have 2 bottles I picked up a bit of time back.

    Who is accepting arms and legs as payment these days?! I have a cellar full of them I've been trying to get rid of.

    An update: bought a nice supply of stuff. Got home to realize that the Falco was bottled on 11/23/13...didn't notice in the store b/c the GF picked it up and carried it, but can't believe I didn't check. Anyway, will be taking it back to swap or return.

    Lil B from February of this year should be fine, I think. Anyone else agree or disagree?

    The Lil B will be great! The Falco is probably iffy, and honestly I wasn't that impressed by it fresh... good, not great.

    Did you pick up any other Evil Twin stuff?

    Even more Jesus, imperial biscotti break, Freudian slip, I love you with all my stout, yin. Held off on some others since I'm expecting some beer mail from a very generous BA!

    As a bonus, I saw citra ass down on the shelf and grabbed it since I can't in Texas.

    I am very jealous of your Even More Jesus grab! The rest are great!

    I'm not sure why there are a lot of comments about ETB beers being expensive. Comparatively for craft, speciality beers, I think it's average, which is more expensive than your mainstream commercial beers.

    I've only had two ETB beers, but would recommend Even More Jesus. It's not something to have more than one glass of and would pair it with something. Pretty dark and rich, but not that thick; also has high alcohol content.

    Expensive is all relative...
