The best widely distributed year long offerings

A lot of places get zero DFH, like Indiana

 

I agree with this. Maybe the best beer you can by in $/oz.

 

I would have to say Founders Centennial IPA or Red's Rye. Outstanding!

 

**Import**
Weinhestephaner
Duvel
Orval
Rochefort
Unibroue

**Domestic**
Stone RIS
Stone IPA
FW Union Jack
Dogfish Palo Santo
Bells Two Hearted

Cheers!

 

There's too many to mention, but Firestone comes to my mind for having the most solid all-year lineup. I could drink just Velvet Merlin, Union/Double Jack and DBA until the day I die.

 

just read bourbon county is going year round over on beerpulse.

 

i was going to suggest the centennial ipa. cant really go wrong with the rye pa as well along with any founders beer

 

^interesting. i figured if they had them where i live (central pa), they are pretty widely distributed

 

DFH 60
DFH 90
DFH Palo Santo
DFH Raison D' Etre
DFH Burton Baton
Lagunitas IPA
Lagunitas Pils
Oskar Blues Mama Little Yella Pils

 

No Founders or Bells in CA, that's 37,000,000 people without right there

 

I just love how half of the beers mentioned are not even available here in WV... It truly shows how piss poor distribution is here.

 

Stone is really the only "widely distributed" craft beer imo unless you count stuff like SV and SA.

Bells, Founders, DFH - they are all tiny.

 

I second the nomination for St. Bernardus Abt 12. I also second the nomination for Weihenstephaner Hefeweiss and would like to nominate SN Torpedo, Old Rasputin, DH Palo Santo Maron, Unibroue Trois Pistoles, Ommegang Three Phils, Abbey Ale, and Hennepin.

I'm not sure how widely-distributed Alesmith is (I have to drive about a half-hour to get it), but Speedway Stout is absolutely phenomenal for a year-around stout.

 

Alesmith is an absolutely tiny brewery here in San Diego.

I'd consider "widely distributed" to be at least 40 States.

 

Raspy
Abt 12
Torpedo

By that measure, I think the many Founders and Bell's recommendations are disqualified.

 

Which begs the question: which breweries actually distribute to 40 or more states?

 

BCM.

LOL - Stone is almost there, around 36.
