    Which beers are on your must-try list?

    One of mine I checked off today. Thanks to @reefer_bob, I tasted Pliny for the first time and truly enjoyed it! Refreshing as hell for a DIPA.

    Westy 12.

    I almost bought a multi-pack of this beer when they made a one time distribution of this beer to the US a few years ago but when I got to the store I was informed that they sold the last pack 20 minutes earlier. Maybe I will be successful next time!?!:astonished:

    Cheers!

    Head Topper. Not something I really wanted to go through the trouble of getting but feel stupid having not tried it, and now there's a new brewery.

    Anything by Fantome, being a saison lover and all.

    Other than that, Westy 12 and 8, and Lawson's Sip of Sunshine. SoS because I have actually had it and I wasn't really impressed by it at all, need to make sure what I had was the real deal.

    Would really like to try HF's Arthur and Double Galaxy as well.

    Rhodenbach Alexander....Missed the first release...Had every distributor in town trying for me....No luck here in West Michigan...

    Anything from Lost Abby...can't get that either...

    Treehouse brewing...

    So far I have been lucky with the shop I frequent...Huge selection and great distributors.

    Agree with Founders CBS. I tried the KBS at a beer fest last year. It was delicious!

    Haven't had any Cantillon sours yet, and I would like to have some more de Garde stuff.

    Anything from SARA or Cellarmaker - I'll be in SF in August so hopefully I can cross Cellarmaker off my lis.
