    Allagash . It comes to California but can't make the stop in Arizona. Also Sixpoints from Brooklyn. Loved their Resin and Bengali Tiger when I lived in Virginia.

    I am fortunate to have good distribution in Los Angeles, and have solid breweries within the state.

    However, these are some of the breweries I wish I had easier access to - Bell's, Founders, New Glarus, Surly, and Hill Farmstead.

    Odell, Bells, and Founders. Odell and Bells are in Arizona, why not just move one more state over?

    Beers from breweries I love that I can't get easily are Russian River, Great Lakes, and The Alchemist. I also can't get FBS due to the crazy NH liquor laws but I'm not too far from Mass so it's ok.

    There are lots of breweries that I can't get in Kansas but if I drive 40 minutes to the MO side of KC I can get, like Founders, Firestone Walker, Bell's, etc.

    But the one that really gets my goat is Oskar Blues. They're in Colorado. Why does the east coast get their beers, but we don't get them here in Kansas? WTF?

    Illinois here, can't get New Glarus (brewed just north in Wisconsin), Three Floyd's (brewed just east in Indiana), or Half Acre (brewed right here in my home state). All require a road trip if I want some. Wilco Tango Foxtrot to that.

    Too many to name as far as what doesn't get sold in Mississippi, but I can get lots of things like Bells, Cigar City, Weiheinstephaner, Rochefort, etc in either New Orleans or Pensacola. Just had my very first Founders Breakfast Stout last night; Founders just zoomed to the top of the I-wish-they-sold-that-here list.

    Jack's Abbey. I was spoiled while visiting Boston. I've been craving their beer ever since.

    First two to pop in my mind are Duck-Rabbitt and Terrapin. Would love to see the day I could easily have access to either of these two.

    In Peoria, IL we don't get most of the great Chicago stuff including Revolution, Three Floyds, Half Acre, or Pipeworks. I'd love to be able to get these any time I wanted. I'd also love to get Russian River, Surly and Firestone Walker too.

    Perhaps some breweries refuse to sell to Jayhawk fans? :slight_smile:

    At least Toppling Goliath is starting to come into WI, and DFH will be here soon

    Naples Beach Brewery for sure. Went there on spring break and tried one of the best APAs I have ever tasted fresh from the source.

    Boulevard is everywhere here. I've tried nearly everything they bottle but not too many are so good that if I couldn't try them again I would freak out. Perhaps I should give the BBQ another try. It has been years. Love their Tank 7, Dry Stout, and was enjoying their Half Acre.

    I just like DFH's willingness to experiment. I feel like Perennial has some beers that fall into that arena.

    I wish I had access to Russian River, Three Floyds, Hill Farmstead, Surly, and the Alchemist (even if only for that one beer :stuck_out_tongue:).
