    They produced a wonderful Stout, "Milk It". I had it, loved it, talked to them about it, then boom, they're out of it. No more to be had. Aaaaah, curse the rest of you beer drinkers out there, and you know who you are!

    I apologize, I definitely got a growler of it after having a pint up there.

    Welcome to the world of craft beer. Some of the beers I've rated the highest were one-offs that will never be done again.

    Ain't that the truth! My top beer of all time, I haven't had but once ever, and that was in February 2013. Sweet Potato Casserole will always be #1 on my list, unless something unreal comes out, and I can't even get it, ever. (Though, this may just change this Fall/Winter!).

    SPC isn't a one-off. In fact, it will more than likely be a four pack once FB starts bottling 12ozs.

    Oh I know, trust me I've whined about it to FB a lot as well. But I don't live near FB, or in Florida at all, so it's a bit tougher for me to accumulate a large amount of it, when it does hit the 4 packs sometime this year.

    But, still rings true that I haven't had it in 19 months now, but it's still my favorite beer of all times. I was just speaking to how some of the best beers you'll have, are ones you can't get again easily. OP will I'm sure get the milk stout again from WW too, at some point.

    No worries, I have heard word from a few WW folks that the plan is to start canning Freak and French Toast this winter; should be easier to get ahold of then.

    Beginning to seem like a business plan/gimmick isn't it?

    In this instance, there may be more to it...

    What? One-off beers?

    No. Planned obsolescence.

    Ah, I hadn't realized that serving the same beer all the time was the way to not be obsolete.

    What? Canning? They just got a bottling line not too long ago and now they're going to purchase a canning line? Sounds silly, though I would love it if you were right.

    I understood it that they have in interest in bottling clean beers, only the wild/sours.

    Canning line would be for clean beers.

    There is a conspiracy, trust me. Beer is insidious.
