The sleeper - the beer that you’ve never heard of, has a shitty label, but tastes like the nectar of the gods. You will never see it again, but will think about it for weeks
I still remember the beers I drank on an overland trip from Germany through Poland & the Baltics to Belarus. Some of them were exactly like that. Just local breweries, no chance to ever find them again.
Last summer we rode our bikes to a pub nearby and I had the best fucking blueberry cream ale that I’d ever tasted in my life. I had just worked up a sweat on my bike, and the beer was cool, creamy, and sweet. Like Jesus just came in my mouth.
Went back a few weeks later and tried to order one, only to be told they have rotating taps and no longer had it.
The bartender didn’t know what it was called. I’ve never seen a blueberry cream ale anywhere else. I’m gonna be chasing that dragon for the rest of my life.
Lagunitas Aunt Sally. a beer that I had exactly once, was maybe my favorite ever, and I tried for two years to find again before learning it was a seasonal that’s been discontinued

I also miss that beer that had dragon somewhere in the name that I could never find again.
Dragon’s Milk, maybe? It’s one of my favorites.
That’s it and their website lists where I can buy it nearby. Apparently they carry it in stores I didn’t check.
Thank you!
