Craft beers have come a long way in the past 10 years. Now, if you want to attain certain beers you have to call ahead, get on a call list, or establish a good relationship with specialty retailers like Market of Choice. Here is fair notice on some of the recent hard to find beers, first come-first serve:

Hair of the Dog “Doggie Claws”
Portland’s famous Microbrewery just released 105 cases of their Barleywine to a select few retailers in Oregon. 11.5% ABV with 70 IBUs.

Avery duganA
Even with Avery pulling out of eight states and further limiting their market in other areas to meet demand, their beers are still in very short supply. With only 27 cases for all of Oregon, we are happy to receive their Imperial like IPA called “duganA,” for those unable to get Pliny the Elder. Piney and resinous with 8.5% A.B.V. with 93 IBUs.

Deschutes “Abyss”2011
Big Imperial Stout with lots of licorice and molasses. This needs some time in the bottle! 11% ABV with 65 IBUs.

Shhh…Rumor has it that Oakshire just released a super secret beer, if you can tell me what the name is there might be one bottle available – only 12 bottles are available to all of southern Oregon!
