I keep meaning to try [insert beer here]

Probably about half of what my local Kroger has in its craft/import section, to start with... XD

 

Founders or Bell's. Unfortunately, Northern California doesn't get distro

 

Founder's porter

 

Ghandi Bot, but we don't get that here in CA

 

The one-offs and seasonals are so abundant now that I almost never end up buying the regular releases anymore. Regular releases are like a fall back when selection sucks at a bar, game, store, etc. with limited craft selection.

 

Bourbon County Brand Stout. I have many bottles and at this point last years and this years vintages but for whatever reason I've never seen it fitting to open one. I might have an opportunity this weekend and if it pans out I'm gonna fix this.

 

Come on man! Gotta try at least one of those soon.

 

bba keystone

 

try Unibroue's offerings as well

 

Agree with @JackRWatkins on this. You should purchase Sculpin today; you'll be glad you did.

I've had a lot of Belgians over the last few months and I prefer Chimay to Rochefort. The 6 & 8 came off as really boozy upfront. While the 10 was much smoother, I tasted a bit of a metal quality in it. Another BA mentioned something about inconsistencies, so that could be a possibilty with my experience with Rochefort. I'll probably try them all again soon though.

It took me awhile to get around to trying Ten Fidy, probably because of its ubiquity and price point. Once I grabbed a 4-pack, I purchased it repeatedly. I also ran into a Ten Fidy fire sale last year where 4-packs were $9.99 (maybe $10.99) and I went pretty crazy. Get some today; its outstanding.

 

I have a bunch of respectable bottles I've held onto that have little/no trade value whatsoever that I should be drinking but have not (e.g., regular Boris, Doris, Speedway, Victory at Sea, etc.).

 

I spoke with the brewer at a bottle release at GABF, and he was claiming to make it better, so there is that

 

Ten Fidy and Sculpin are something that should be bought on site. I been meaning to try duvel but its never round when I started looking. Also the yeti which I might be picking up today.

 

Anything by Founders.....have not seen it out here in NorCal

 

I also love Stouts/RIS. All I can say to you is.....every time you pass up Old Rasputin, you've missed out on enjoying what might just be the best Stout you've ever had.

 

Allagash Cureiux (sorry if thats not spelled right). Dying to try but the price point just always holds me back....plus the fact that its year round so i can always say, "i can get it another time"

 

Nope....lol....you pretty much nailed it without drinking it of why it was a dissapointment for me.

 

Sculpin. Picked up a 6-pack last week while I was in Carrollton, TX and haven't had the chance to try it yet because, yet again, I've been out of town.

 

Old Rasputin. I see it all the time at my local store, but Bell's, Ballast Point, Belching Beaver, Stone and Russian River usually divert my attention. One day I will try it.
