What beers do you wish would return?

I wasn't able to find anything about EKU 28 being discontinued? On the other hand, I haven't seen it in stock anywhere in a while - possibly a distribution issue?

 

Man I see a lot of posts listing Ruthless Rye. Is anyone from SN reading this thread?

 

Well, if it's no longer available in the last 20 years, I consider it discontinued, even if taken out of context a bit. My bad.

 

FW DBA is still being made. I see it regularly but don't buy it as I'm not a big fan. It has been a while. I would happily pick up a single if possible to kick the tires again.

 

Troegs Hop Knife Harvest Ale was pretty solid too. I just looked on Troegs website and it says available brewery only.

 

No chance of any of these coming back, but I'd like to try some old standouts again:
1971 Ballantine Ale (Ballantine Newark)
1971 Stegmaier Porter (Steg.)
1973 Anchor Steam Beer (how close was it to the current version?)
1975 era Augsburger (light and dark, Huber)
1975 era Andeker (Pabst)
1980 era McSorley's Ale (Ortlieb)
1980 to 1990 many early craft beers ( Widmer, Pyramid, Newman's, etc)
2000 era Blue Point ESB and Pale Ale

 

That one was never my thing. They do a lot of neat "Scratch Batches", but I don't have any social media to keep up nor check in to ask.

 

Yes! You drank beer when I did. Great choices indeed.

 

Original Tupper’s Hop Pocket Pils

 

I miss the original Stone Ruination

Even though this thread happens every now and then it is still always fun to answer...for me it is the following:

Sierra - Ruthless Rye (just like OP)
Victory - Yakima Glory
Dogfish - Aprihop
Stone - Smoked Porter with Vanilla

I know DFH brought back aprihop as a small release recently sort of like SN did with ruthless...now lets get distro guys, you're big you can afford it.

 

Looks like Shelton Brothers was responsible for importing/distribution, which would explain the problem...out of curiosity I sent an e-mail to the brewer - will post their response if I hear back.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Allagash Odyssey is one we love and still buy when someone unearths the occasional bottle or two. They might resurrect it some day.

Pretty Things Grampus...but that would mean Dan comes back, opens a new brewery, and starts making a beer he told us was too expensive and too difficult to make.

 

I can think of worse things.

 

I'm going with all Colorado items that I wish would return:

Great Divide Rumble
Avery Thirteen
New Belgium Abbey
Boulder Hazed & Infused (not that abomination currently masquerading under the name)
Black Fox (via Bristol) Somnambulance
Bull & Bush Tank Town Brown
Wynkoop Triple Sixes
Odell Double Red
Wit's End (R.I.P. in general) Jean Claude Van Blonde

 

Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin
Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball
It's my understanding that BPHS is still brewed but isn't distributed.

 

Stone’s Citracado - or most of Stone’s Limited or Anniversary runs for that matter.
Or I wish I knew what I’ve been missing, sorry for being so ignorant, been living in Japan for the last 3 years, without proper access to real beer…

 

When in Rome drink wine. When in Japan drink 日本酒 (sake).
