Sounds like you have exactly the same taste as I. Loved Blushing Monk; had it at West Lakeview Liquors' outdoor Zwanze party a few weeks ago. Not sure where you are from, but let me know if you want to have a few next time you are in Chicago. I bet the guy below would join us...

I have a friend bringing some Pliny (and other rarities) from California in a week to trade for some of my Three Floyds Zombie Dust (you hopheads should seek this out). If you are nice, I will share.

I wish I knew where I could get Samual Adams Cranberry lambic
I have only ever seen it in mixed-twelvepacks with 5 other beers. Come to Chicagoland and you can buy pallets of it. Or come to Belgium next year with some of us for the real lambic.

Costco has been stocking some good stuff. What they have in GA completely differs from what I can get here, so call them up. My regular beer from them is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for about $1 a bottle, awfully hard to beat IMO. They always get several nice Oktoberfests out of Germany, but you should hurry on that.

Anyone coming to Chicago for the Festival of Barrel-Aged Beers next weekend? I may have an extra ticket for the afternoon session.
