So here is my most wanted list of beers. Some are down right impossible, some are easier to get and I just haven’t tried hard enough to get them =) Either way, if anyone is interested in trading and you have some of these beers, let me know and I’ll probably sell my house for some of them
The Impossible Bottles…..
Midnight Sun M Belgian Style Barleywine – The impossible of the impossibles. I believe this beer was created for one of the breweries anniversaries. It was made once and was never seen again. So little was made and that’s what makes it so impossible to get. Supposed to be world class.

Flossmour Station Wooden Hell – Another Barleywine (you’ll be seeing a lot on this list) and once again a one time brewed beer. This one is a little bit easier to get I believe. I’ve actually spotted this one on EBay. Lost the bid of course. Wasn’t going to pay the 225 dollars it was going for.

Hair of the Dog Dave – Hey why wouldn’t I want a beer that is named after me! I’ve heard stories of this brew hitting as high as 500 dollars on the bidding block. Yes 500 dollars. Dave is listed at 29.00% abv and like the others above, its a Barleywine and a one time brew. Truly rare.

Närke Kulturbryggeri AB Kaggen! Stormaktsporter – Ok let’s get out of the Barleywine realm for a minute and hit up one of the most rarest stouts in the world. An Russian Imperial Stout to be exact. The reason it’s hard to get is because it’s not available in the US and very little is made. It’s only distributed to a few bars.

Kuhnhenn Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine – So far this might be the least rare on the list but it’s still a royal pain in the ass to get. Only available at the brewery (Although it’s available on draft sometimes), one a day a year (I believe) and made in such small quantities, this beer is truly a pain to get but it’s supposed to be worth it.

3 Fonteinen Framboos – Maybe the best Fruit Lambic and in the world and truly rare. Never to be made again.

The Lost Abbey Yellow Bus - This stuff is of legends or something like that. You see this this is an American Wild Ale made with some mystical peaches that will never be seen again since the tree died. This stuff was never bottled commercially and if you ever see it, first you better call me, and secondly you only ever see it in a unlabeled brown bottle.

De Struise Dirty Horse – Let me just let the beer description do the talking on this one
Starting with a Lambic grist bill composed of 70% barley malt and 30% unmalted wheat. No yeast was artificially added to the wort, but was exposed for two days to the open air in one of our plastic tunnels at the Noordhoek Ostrich Farm. First fermentation took place in second hand sherry oak casks for six weeks. 200 grams of Northern cherries per litre and the Roeseleire yeast strain were added after six months, provoking a new fermentation process. Eight months later, we pumped over the young ale to oak casks and let it mature for another 3 years. This project was realized after a tasting of the same recipe Urbain once made 20 years ago and was barrel aging in his garage in De Panne eversince and while he was in Africa and forgot all about it. As this is a very limited version, this ale will not be suitable for export but rather for sale at the farm when available.
