Got some fresh Pliny (and Blind Pig) the other day, Pliny was great, but there are several betters here in New England. I am looking forward to some of the brett RR sours I did get.

Manny's Pale Ale, hands down. You have to drink it in Seattle (only available on tap locally, or straight from Georgetown Brewery). If it wasn't already completely delicious beyond all other beers, I'd say the exclusivity makes it taste better.

So do tell how a limited distribution makes a beer taste better?

I think she may have been a bit fascecious (sp), but there is a psychosomatic element which may make people think a beer's rarity somehow makes it taste better. Kind of how Coors was sought out in the Eastern US before it was a national beer, or Yuengling now. I remember reading debates on Beer Advocate on whether Westvleteren (then rated as the world's #1 beer) really was the best, or if its exclusivity among Belgian Abbeys made people think so.

C'mon. It's a joke... The old "you want what you can't always have" saying. I live far away from my Seattle now and Manny's is the first thing I want when I come home. Like I said, it's delicious enough that the exclusivity factor doesn't matter though. I drank it every chance I got when I lived there, too. No hype needed.

I was just up in Burlington, Vermont and got to try a local New England brew from Foolproof Brewing called La Ferme Urbaine. I'm not a huge farmhouse ale fan, but this was ridiculously good. Should have bought a case while I was there.
I currently have two favorites; they aren't my usual choices, but whenever I can find them, I get them.
My favorite for many years has been 90 Shilling by Odell Brewing. This is a great Scottish ale.
