While we have a very good selection of specialty malts at my LHBS up and over here in Vancouver, Canada, there are a few that come up repeatedly in recipes that we can't get here without the hassle of mail ordering and paying duty, etc. to CBSA.
I'm heading down to Portland, Oregon for the Oregon Brewer's Festival next weekend and plan on stopping into some of Portland and Vancouver, WA's LHBSs to pick up some specialty malts. I can bring back any malted barley that I want as long as its cost is within my allowable 48 hr. limit and that I declare it, or so says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
So far on my list are the following:
Belgian Aromatic
Melanoidin malt
Special Roast
Victory
I can get most other specialties up here or at least can substitute for them.
Any other must haves?
