Rare Beer sale - what looks good?

[berndawg84]

So my local liquor store is having a big sale in a couple weeks for people in its rewards program. They have a bunch of beers they've kept in their cellar that will now be available to the public to sell. Not sure which ones I'll be able to get my hands on, it's sort of a lottery, but we'll see. I'm familiar with many of these breweries, but not necessarily the individual beers. A lot of these beers I don't even know what kind of beer they are - need to start Googling more.

Any recommendations on ones that I should definitely try to get? It's definitely a drool-worthy list. I do love Wicked Weed beers. And of course the Russian River and The Bruery offerings will be a good get. Generally, I like Belgian/German/Saison/Sour beers, stouts too although not as much. Thanks in advance for sharing your collective wisdom.

All of them

Definitely get in on those Cantillons if you can. They are the sour holy grail.

 

[Whut]

That's a lot of brews for sure but other than the Consecration from RR, the only thing that caught my eye is Firestone Walker, Velvet Merkin, definitely get that if you can. Older the better.

 

[berndawg84]

Yea those Cantillons look great as does the Velvet Merkin. Thanks for the suggestions keep em coming.

 

[EcuPirate07]

Hell if you don't want the Westbrook, Mexican Cake send it my way if it's still there when you get to buy

But seriously I would get the Mexican cake for sure and as far as the wicked weed get the Freak and Pernicious as long as they are fresh, the pernicious IMO is one of the best IPAs out there. As far as their sours aim for the Genesis and Oblivion

 

[berndawg84]

Haha. Yea that one does sound good. Yea I know Wicked Weed beers well, but there are a couple sours I haven't tried yet.
