    I almost hit "Report" to your post instead of "Reply". It would have actually made sense! Ouch though, hopefully you land some in the next couple months.

    Festina Lente, and more recently 110k batch 6. Thought there would be enough time and missed out by 10 min because of a work dinner

    I remember passing up a shelf full of Rare a few years back. They were $42 a piece and I was just out of college, damn me for not pulling the trigger!!!!

    Firestone 14, as I didn't have the coin at the time. I have 13, 15, 16 & 17. Damn I should have donated some blood or something.

    Off topic a bit but i remember when Pappy would sit on shelves for a least a little while. I knew it was supposed to be amazing and all but in those days I couldn't fathom spending $70 on any bottle.

    Can't really think of too much beer I've regretted not grabbing tbh.

    Grew up in Newton, and I'm now the beer buyer for the Marty's on Washington Street. I can still vividly remember going into that store with my father when I was in my teens and wondering why on earth people would pay anywhere from $10 to $20 for these weird green bottles of Belgian stuff.

    Needless to say, I'd now give my left arm for my distributors to send me as much Cantillon as I once saw gathering dust on those shelves.

    I had an opportunity at multiple Parabola a few weeks ago and only bought one. Probably should have bought out the store.

    I love Maine Beer Company. Every time I have a chance to get Lunch I miss it. Local shop sent son email it was in, went over a few hours later and there was a guy walking to the counter with what I found out later was the last bottle. I've had every other one they sell with the exception of Dinner.

    Spoiler alert: $100 for a six pack is still not a good deal.
