    I am new to the beer scene, but know a lot of the good stores. I turned to beer after I ran out of new cider to try in MD and because I found a beer that I liked, Midas Touch. I'm primarily in the Baltimore region, but am willing to go a ways out. I have been going through DFH's catalog, and recently started on Stone's. I will be at Frisco's Stone Tap Takeover tomorrow night. I just picked up a 3L 15th Anniversary the other day and know where there is another one. Also, I have located a crate of Urkontinent, but I just want one though. I am looking for:
    • DFH Pangaea
    • Any Stone Anniversary, but really just the 16th is likely
    • Stone Vertical 10/10/10 (or older)
    • Stone Ruination 10th Anniversary
    • Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout
    However, I have heard that the Urkontinent and Pangaea might not be that great since it has been a while since they were last brewed because of their relatively low ABV (the same goes for some of the Stone I am looking for as well). I can't wait for: Dayman Coffee IPA by Stone, Ommegang Iron Throne and Dogfish Sixty-One.

    Anyone? I know where there are at least ten 10/10/10's out in the wild, along with 11's and 12's. Also, they have 16th anniversaries and OG Belgos. The same with a 3L's of 12/12/12, Double Bastard, and 15th Anniversary.

    You might give the folks at Max's a try for some of these. They just recently had a Stone event, during which they poured 4 past vintage of Double Bastard from large format bottles (I wasn't there, but the email indicates they were from 3L bottles). I know they do have a pretty impressive bottle list, which I believe includes a number of vintage beers, as well as some large format stuff. It won't be cheap of course, to buy this stuff from a bar, but at least they should have some (most?) of the beers on your list. Good luck.

    I just saw Stone 16th anniversery still on the shelf at Harford Beverage in Parkville if you're interested in that.

    The 16th anniversary and definitely the Ruination10 are too old now (going on 6 months) to be any good if you did find them.

    I never saw the Mint Chocolate in Maryland, but good luck to you.

    I can't tell you where to find anything. I agree that the 16 and Ruination 10 are too old probably right now. I just found a 15 in DE this weekend and popped it yesterday, it was still pretty good. I'm sure it's leaps and bounds different than when it was fresh but the malts really came out nicely when the hop backbone left. If you can find it I'd say it's worth a try.

    Yeah, I wish I could edit my original post. I was at that event and had some '08 DB. Yeah, they say that they have over 1000 bottles, but there is not list, txt, doc, or pdf of it anywhere. I will be talking with them. I found the 16th @ Harford Beverage (along with a ton of 10/10/10's), thanks to one of the guys at Pinehurst Wine Shoppe. I have a 3L of 15th anniversary for my graduation this Spring. Yeah, I've heard that they aren't really worth pursuing (10th anniv. and older collabs). However, they said the verticals were brewed to be had on 12/12/12/, but those are the least likely ones for me to find. Thanks guys!
