I'm wondering what are some beer styles you don't find in stores very often? I want to try brewing something that is hard to find or uniquely different. Any thoughts on this?
A Belgian IIPA. A brew that has a solid Belgian malt backbone and yeast with loads of American Hops. Ommegang BPA is the only commercial one I have found and while it is good I am thinking bigger and hoppier. I did try to clone the Ommegang and it was good but I am still looking for that recipe.
Brew a Old Ale and age it with some Brett.
A Berliner Weisse
had that at the brewery and I liked it, I think i would like the Abey Ale done with a little more hops, i think it has a better base.
im doing an imperial belgian pale ale. ill post how it turns out when its done.
I have never had the Abbey Ale but I have heard alot of folks talking about it. Sounds like I must give it a try.

C'mon!! Stop it with the c-hops or new-z crap. Make a hoppy beer but use all hallertau or saaz! Thats something you dont find every day.
I recently brewed a saison with a load of hallertauer hersbrucker, it is beautyful and epic!
A pilsner is a hoppy beer with saaz. It's not real bitter because of the soft water and lager yeast (IMO) but it is through the roof in hoppy flavor. Real fresh German style pilsners are hard to find.
