    Bells and Odell...I think I would consider those widely distributed.

    I had a fair bit of them back before I moved out here 14 years ago. But, most of the regular line-ups, I haven't reviewed, so I'd be in sort a gray area, NBS-wise.:wink: Plus,since I chose the pairings, I know who's sending to me. Nice try though!

    I heard that Oskar Blues is headed the Iowa way soon and for this I am glad.

    Fortunately, I live close enough to self distribute NG's golden liquid several times a year.

    After seeing other people's inclusions here, I'm thinking GA distro may not be so bad after all...

    I would love to have Deschutes, Odell, and Firestone Walker join our ranks though.

    True, it doesn't hit the west coast either... What is this about California?

    VERY happy to see Odell mentioned all over the place here. They make amazing beer that never gets enough love around here :slight_smile:

    There are lots of breweries that distribute to most states around Montana but never manage to cross our state line, firestone walker, dogfish head, southern tier, founders, bell's, the bruery just to name a few. Firestone walker is probably the one that bothers me the most though, consistently tasty beer that I would buy on a weekly basis if I could.

    That's funny. I went to school in Carbondale and moved back to Champaign 3 years ago. Small world...

    I recall getting Great Divide down there too, but when I was at the Great Divide taproom I was told that increased demand for their product forced them to scale back distribution and IL south of I-80 was one of those areas that got cut. Fortunately they had just purchased a full city block in Denver last April and I was told they plan to expand distribution after the new facility is up and running.

    Well, that makes sense. Pinch Liquors and Westroads used to carry it. I graduated from SIU in 2010 and moved down here the next summer. It is a small world.

    I was at Great Divide in March and surprised at how small it was. Cool place though, and nice to hear they're able to expand soon.

    They were my favorite out of New Belgium, Great Divide, Breckenridge, and some other FoCo brewery I'm forgetting. Great beer there.

    Sixpoint distributes to PA, but for whatever reason, doesn't make it over to Erie. It's pretty much available in every surrounding area, but not here. Doesn't seem logical. However, I sometimes pick up their stuff when traveling to Ohio or NY.

    I also miss Schlafly and Boulevard from my home state of Missouri. These were some of the first good beers I tried when I was in college in the late 90's. They've been working their way east over the last few years so I hope they make it to PA soon as well.

    Bells, Founders, FW, DFH at one time but they may not stand out anymore..

    NM is a sad state of affairs. Im surprised we get Deschutes and Odell now that i look at what others are asking for. That may be the only bright spot for NM (other than a couple of local options)
