Which big breweries have you never had beer from?

... I was saying I haven't had anything from the East Coast besides dogfish head.

We don't get Bell's, Avery, Surly, Cigar City or Founders.

 

Russian River
Firestone Walker
Deschutes
Three Floyds
Cigar City

 

I will GLADLY trade you all the Sixpoint and Green Flash you can drink for those good west coast beers I can't get :-)

 

Haha, that's crazy. I also have the Rye Smoking Wood. And hell, I'm planning also planning to hang with my friends for a beer night and that is also THE beer I plan on bringing to it.
Cheers!

 

Funky Buddah, alchemist, surly, rapp

 

Founders
Three Floyds
Bell's
Alchemist

Many, many more. But those are on my proverbial bucket list. I could trade most CO goodies.

 

If we're talking "big" in terms of hype, then I have no idea how many. The hyped breweries seem to change every few months.

If we're talking big in terms of something concrete like size, then for me it would be:
Shipyard
Long Trail
Firestone Walker
Sweetwater
Odell

to name a probable few.

 

IMHO smoking wood is the best non-BT thing that the bruery does. Got 2 2012s chillen in the cellar to see how they hold up.

 

Three Floyd's... Sad part is that I'm only 90 min from Chicagoland.

 

A few that have been readily available where I have lived but never tried

Hoppin Frog
Alesmith
Ithaca
Dark Horse
Schmaltz
Hair of the Dog (sans one collaboration beer)

 

A lot....but the biggest I've never had any from is New Belgium, which is surprising since its one of the largest craft brewers in america

they just don't distribute to Florida. but that's going to change soon now that their getting a Asheville plat (and I hope that our very own Tri-eagle sales can get the right to distribute them here in north Florida....that would be great <3)

 

Based on beer sales volume:

Deschutes
Boulevard
Alaskan (soon to be rectified)
Great Lakes
New Glarus
...to name a few...

 

It is tragic that so many of you have listed Founders on you list. They consistently offer the finest examples of every style, anywhere. I count my blessings that I can go to the store and buy cases of it at my lleisure. My condolences to you all.

 

Hill Farmstead does not belong on this list, folks. It is not a big brewery, it's one of THE smallest, really.

 

Alchemist stands out in my mind. Only recently had our first taste of Lost Abby.

 

Pelforth!

 

Of the ones I've seen commonly listed in this thread:
Firestone Walker
Avery
Russian River
Terrapin
Alchemist
Deschutes
Sixpoint
Alaskan
Hoppin Frog
Stone (even though I have access to it)

 

Alchemist, Ballast Point, Russian River, Evil Twin, Lost Abbey, New Glarus, Surly

 

New Glarus. I haven't had anything from them yet. The operative word being "yet."
