Finding Unique Beers

In this month's Front Porch, there is an article titled "Brown on Beer". Great writeup on how and why things are the way they are when trying to get something unique.

Let me just give you a few examples of some local stores going out of their way.
VA Wine Experience was able to get a case of Belgian Delirium Nocturnum for me.

And when I wanted a bottle of Utopias which is only released every 2 years, I was able to call and set one aside at Total Wine in Central Park. When I went to pick it up later that day, they still had one bottle remaining.

Since then, I have found Kybecca to be very helpful in finding what I want, or making a suggestion for something in stock that is very similar.
