    One of my trading buddies just sent me a DB Huna which I´ve been chasing for a while :slight_smile:

    BA Abraxas is my next stout whale and Boneyard Hop Venom has been out to sea far too long, no luck yet.

    Last few were:
    Cantillon Blåbær
    Chocolate Rain
    Black Tuesday
    Heady Topper
    Dark Lord
    Framboos

    It was Hommage for me for a while, but I finally had some a few weeks ago.

    Right Now BA Abraxas and Speedway variants.

    Pliney, Hopslam and Hill Farmstead. Had some other hard-to-get NE varieties (Heady, Lawson's Double Sunshine and Julius).

    I'm in Des Moines. I knew that Alesmith had distro around us but hadn't heard the BA stuff was available. Pretty expensive you're right! I've had the BA Speedway and loved it. I kind of consider like a nice bottle of wine. $30-35 isn't horrible but would def save for a special occasion. I have a BA Numbskull in the basement but never had the Wee Heavy which i've heard is great

    I've had alot of beers recently that I was interested in, I guess right now at the top of things I'd like to try is a fairly modest one compared to some, BA Sump (or regular again for that matter).

    For all the Heady mentions, I've only made a handful of trades via BA, but Heady really is not terribly difficult to obtain via trading, I'd encouage you to give it a shot.

    you are extremely generous, or i'm just very unlucky (not that the two are mutually exclusive)

    strangely enough I have not tried any Alesmith yet, there is just so much beer with great reputations and I still have to try it all and only so much disposable income ($0), it sux ya know what they all say "mo beer mo problems"

    As sad as this is... Zombie Dust. Seems those who have reguar access to it, think it's worth it's weight in gold. Sorry, I refuse to trade a case of Huna for a six pack of shelf APA.

    Definitely Prop. I've tried to iron out some trades for it, but it never works out

    My first ever homebrew that I keep trying to replicate. What a beautifully delicious accident that beer was :grinning:

    Totally not that great. Good for sure, but that's it.
