Which big breweries have you never had beer from?

Cigar City
The Alchemist
Hill Farmstead
Sixpoint

 

First that comes to mind is Weyerbacher. I passed them over for years just because their names/labels looked silly. Almost every time I go to the store now I consider grabbing something from them just never do.

 

Sticking to those distributed to PA,

Alesmith, Allagash, Deschutes, DuClaw, Firestone Walker, Green Flash, Lost Abbey, Russian River, Stillwater, to name a few. I really need to drink more.

 

It almost looks like Cigar City is only distributed in Florida.

 

I'm looking at big in terms of size, rather than reputation. So, I've never had New Belgium, just doesn't make it out this way.

 

Was that supposed to be a wink? Or are you not joking?

How big is big? It looks like small might be big.

 

It's the "er.... what?" emoticon.... as in "are you kidding me?"

It just seems that almost everyone on here keeps listing Cigar City, over and over... and the only ones that aren't listing them live in Florida. They're 2 miles from where I work. Only been there twice (including Saturday for Hunahpu Day). But, I plan on going back many more times.

 

Unless something recently changed, Cigar City is, for all practical purposes, only available in Florida or in very limited quantities in a few cities outside Florida.

 

I just want to know in what universe is Hill Farmstead considered big?

 

I don't mind, I'm sure you're right there with me.

 

I seriously did not know that.

Rogue. I hate their labels and their prices.

 

Can't wait to knock CCB off of my list next weekend!

 

I can't believe some shit goose hasn't come in here claiming to never have tried anything from Anheuser Busch.

 

Russian River. Maybe someday?!

 

I haven't tried any.... since I tried any from the other brewers mentioned in this thread. Does that count?

 

No, your supposed to claim that you were just never interested in beer and then one day at the ripe old age of about 24 you stumbled across Pliny and you have been hooked ever since. To make it even more believable you might want to add a rant about evil corporations or eating only organic food.

 

Told y'all I was a newbie.
