    This is what I came here to say...probably my favorite DONG...



    Sorry, couldn't resist. Is there a less hilarious acronym we could use?

    HF Ephraim, aside from the recent growler fill opportunity.

    Funky Buddha Morning Wood and their star fruit and passionfruit berliners. Unbelievable.

    This one is tough and testing my memory bank. Off the top of my head, I would say Buckeye Brewing Amarillo IPA and Iron Hill Oak Aged Old Tom. I may change this answer when I think about it a while.

    Mayan Gold from Goose Island Clybourn at FOBAB last year - phenomenal Chocolate Barleywine aged in Bourbon barrels.

    I second Cerise Casee by Cambridge and I'll add Honey Badger which I probably loved even more.

    I think a growler originally purchased from a tiny restaurant still qualifies as "draught only".

    Considering this has showed up at 3 tastings I've been at recently, it can't be that draft-only.

    Fixed that for you. There are a few Humulus beers they do.

    Cheers!

    Three come to mind

    CCB Puppie's Breath, amazing stuff that they should bottle and use as a regular porter (in place of Maduro Brown ale which I hate)

    Funky Buddha Bacon Maple Coffee Porter, ok this is slightly cheating but the bottling was extremely limited and for many practical purposes, this is draft only

    Hill farmstead Edward, one of my favorite beers ever. I would really love to see HF do sixers of this, and only this, and distribute this. Keep everything else brewery only but distro Edward as the only thing they distribute.. well I can dream right?

    This is an impossible question to answer, but I love Pizza Port Poor Man's IPA.

    I'd say Live Oak Hefe, Austin Beerworks Einhorn, and Avery Lilikoi Kepolo were my 3 favorite draft-only beers in 2012.

    Mister E Froot from Founders was damn tasty. As was Cashew Mountain Brown.

    I have only seen it during the summer. However, I am 1 hour away, so not a regular. It may be more often, but that is the only time of year I have seen it.
