Which big breweries have you never had beer from?

Genesee Brewing Company

 

Westvleteren
Cigar City - a friend has a Jai Alai waitng for me
Hill Farmstead - going there in July
Shorts / Kuhnhenn - hopefully getting some on the KBS trip
Terrapin
Revolution
Surly
Maine Beer Co

 

I can only get Deschutes living in MT. Some days I really miss WI.

 

I've seen CCB on tap on occasion at Pony Bar and Top Hops, and L'asso, a pizza place in NOLITA, cycles in Jai'alai in their bottle selection now and again.

From another NYCer, I've not had Russian River, 3 Floyds, Deschutes, New Glarus, Surly, Tired Hands, Toppling Goliath, Bells, Pipeworks, Funkwerks, Jack's Abby.

I've had Hill Farmstead but am planning a weekend in VT to knock out Heady and Lawsons.

 

You have my deepest sympathy!!!!

 

Alpine
Kuhnhenn

Both produce many big wants of mine.

 

Nebraska. Gotta be another one, but it was hard thinking of that one.

 

Cigar City
The Bruery
Kern River

East Coast is rough sometimes

 

Add Magic Hat to that list also

 

I am shocked at the number of people that haven't had Russian River! Especially because it's somewhat available on a regular basis in most of California and there is a pretty good production number of most of them. And, because they are so 'effing good!

I'm pretty much off trading but right now Damnation, Supplication and Sanctification are available here in L.A. They run about $12 a bottle (375) give or take.

I can't help everyone but I will try to help the first 5 or 6 of you who beer mail me. I'll go buy the beer for you and you can either pay me back or send me $4$ locals (or whatever). (I'll let you know what I pay, of course). No one who likes beer should be precluded from trying RR brews, especially Supplication and Sanctification, two of my favorite beers ever.

Again, I'll help out the first 5 or 6 of you who have never tried it, as much as I can. Beer mail me ASAP and I'll hit the stores for you. Happy to do it but only if you've really never had it!

Let me know!

 

Anything from the East Coast not named Dogfish Head.

 

Or, you can get $5 cans of Jai Alai all the way up here in Vermont...

Haven't had any Three Floyds. Still. I was in Chicago recently and wasn't able to find any. Damn.

 

They only distribute to 4 states. I think their status on BA and availability in your locale are making you think they are a larger operation than reality (this is a common issue). I do commend your effort to share their brews with everyone however, godspeed young man!

 

HF
Lawsons
sixpoint

 

You called me a "young man." You have no idea how I wish......

 

Throw Mischief on there as well. Stuff is dangerously too delicious.

I'm sitting on a bottle of Smoked Wood now. Can't wait to pop it.

 

Surly
Russian river
Hill Farmstead
Cigar City
Sixpoint
Three Floyds

 

The number for the pub and production brewery is around 13,000 bbl a year. That is real big.

 

Never had the Mischief, but that will now go on my wishlist. I seem to have pretty good luck finding Bruery stuff from various online shops.

Do you have the bourbon or the rye Smoking Wood? I have a bottle of the rye version sitting at home right now. My friends and I regularly do a "show and tell" beer tasting, where we each bring a 750 of some "big" (unique, high ABV, rare, etc.) beer as well as a sixer of something more sessionable and have a grand old time. The Smoking Wood is my 'special' beer to bring to the next get together. I can't do a full 750 of a 13% ABV beer by myself anymore.

 

OK Sam quit tooting your horn
There are PLENTY of great beers from the NE coast !!!
