Your Top 10 Beer Wants

Leon
Vanilla Dark Lord
Church on a Hill
PtY
Strawberry Rhubarb
King Henry
Abner
Abrasive
Chocolate Rain
Zombie Dust

List is in somewhat particular order...

 

About the only thing I haven't tasted or bought that I really, really want is Fou' Foune. Perhaps some of the barrel-aged Damon varieties from Hill Farmstead as well. And Hunahpu's. And Sappy Slappy Bastard, but I don't really think of brewpub exclusives as a "want," since there's no practical way to get any that doesn't involve trading that I don't want to do, or an impromptu trip to the brewery.

 

Y'know, good question. I really don't think about this one in list form since I'm still working my way out of "amateur" rankings and just happy to get what I can. I think I'd go with (in no order and all stuff I could actually obtain; i.e. not pay something asinine for):

Pliny
Parabola
Zombie Dust
CC Marshal Zukhov
CC Good Gourd (I love my pumpkin beers)
BCBS
BCBCS
Anything from Hill Farmstead. Literally anything (though I'd lean more on wanting any of the Saisons)
Anything from Surly (mostly Abrasive though)
and probably Lunch to give that a shot. I seem to love IPAs from that region.

 

they will probably never brew cbs again...its sad

 

Love top 10 lists!

(ever changing, right now..)

1. AB Black Magick (to complete set)
2. Juicy
3. Prairie Bomb (shits like crack)
4. WWBV
5. CC (ALWAYS strike out at toronado)
6. DDG
7. BAVDL
8. Eclipse EC 20 (can't get enough, always want)
9. West Ashley
10. AftW

 

Wow. Guess I need to start making more trips over to Hill Farmstead, and a trip or two to Warren General Store ( Lawson's) cuz from what I can see...most all of you want what is not impossible ( but takes time and planning) to get here in Vt. Heady of course is the exception, and is easy to get almost any time.
Mine:
Zombie Dust
PLiny
Dark Lord
BCBS variants
Hunaphu
Bell's Expedition stout
King Henry
Parabola
KBS

* this thread is going to turn into an impromptu ISO/FT thread real fast!!! inboxes are about to blow up (depending on your location/access)

 

This is a good question. I especially like it when approached from the angle of beers you want but haven't had yet. So that's how I constructed my list, omitting anything that I've had before, no matter how amazing. It would be too impossible to construct otherwise. In no particular order...

Pliny The Younger
Beatification
Temptation
Westy 12
Westy 8
Westy Blonde
Zombie Dust
HF Double Galaxy
HF Anna
HF Juicy

Some of these seem more likely that I will obtain them at some point than others. That being said, I never thought I'd get to try Heady without a pilgrimage, and one BA was kind enough to share a couple of cans, so never say never.

The thing that is interesting to me, looking back on my list, is that some beers I want because I've had other stuff from that brewery and loved it--the Russian River selections, for example. Whereas the others, like Westy and HF, are breweries I have yet to sample, but breweries whose reputations precede themselves by a large margin.

 

1) Zombie dust.

Yah its not a .wal, yeah ive had it multiple times before. but...well......I'll let this handle the feelz...





It just feelz good to get what you want **sip**

 

Well, there was only 11 bottles of that...

 

Lawson's Double Sunshine
Kern River Citra
Black Tuesday
Alpine Nelson
Beauregard
KBS (I know I know... I don't know how I haven't had this yet either)
BCBCS
Zombie Dust
Abrasive
HF (pretty much anything, but Susan would be nice)
PtY

Thankfully I live pretty close to Tired Hands, so I've been able to trade for a good portion of my wants. I hope to have at least 3 or 4 of these checked off the list within the next 5 or 6 months. So if anyone is a fan of Tired Hands... *wink wink* XD

 

1. Black Tuesday
2. KtG
3. Zombie Dust
4. Heady Topper (had 8 this summer but still an amazing brew)
5. KBS (have one that I'm saving for it to cool of in AZ a bit before trying)
6. Chocolate Rain
7. Dark Lord
8. Anything Hill Farmstead
9. Anything Cantillon
10. Anything Surly

 

vanilla bean dark lord
BCBS rare

BA speedway

to even nail down half of those would let me die a happy man...

 

That's why its on the list! I hope we're wrong though.

 

i live in hawaii so i basically only can get local beers, west coast/national breweries with large distributions, and then the more easy to find imports. there are a couple craft bars that have stuff you can't get at bottle shops however. but that's why my list is gonna seem kinda weird to those of you lucky enough to live in almost any other state.

2. heady topper
3. pliny the elder
4. bourbon county brand stout (any of the varieties)
5. jai alai
6. cantillon kriek
7. any of the ipas from hill farmstead
8. zombie dust
9. extremely fresh sculpin
10. a russian river sour

 

1. Free beer
2. Cheap beer
3. Beer with a cute girl
4. Beer with friends
5. New beer
6. Local beer

Weihenstephaner Vitus is kinda easy to get here in Europe. The other 5 would be already in my cellar if US websites shipped beer to Europe, but they don't. But luckily I'm already talking with some BA users for beer trading.

 

Cave creek chili x10

 

I live in a liquor control state, hours from any larger city, with no connections.
So I basically want all of the super-hyped beers everyone raves about but are impossible to find for anyone who doesn't live next door to the brewery that makes them.
