Before we go, I did want to mention that the true #1 spot, according to Untappd, goes to Willow Park Brewing. That being said, after some research, it appears these beers are almost impossible to get and there is no information on where you can even find the beer so I opted to keep them off of this list. I get you want to make your beers scarce but having to know someone that knows someone to be able to even purchase it seems crazy to me. Troon Brewing makes their canned beer super hard to get but at least you know when the releases happen and have a shot at buying them. No hate to Willow Park Brewing as I’d love to try their beer because every one of them looks incredible but you need to make it accessible and not some super secret underground beer club.
