    If you could move anywhere in the world to be a part of a beer scene where would it be?

    Personally I like where I am , Quebec, but I would like to move closer to the Vermont border to pick some American craft which is virtually impossible to obtain North of the border.

    Probably back to the Bay Area, San Francisco specifically.

    Not that Seattle doesn't have a good beer scene or anything, I just miss SF.

    Other than moving for weather/temperature reasons I am good where I am at. Got pretty good distribution in Arizona. For those Beers I would like to try I usually trade for. While it might be nice to get a few other beers easily I am fine not being able to get them in my local stores. Plenty of amazing beer readily available in my area so I usually don't think too much about those other beers.

    So many different options. I would probably have to go with Colorado. Or maybe stay a bit more local and work with CCB.

    I would be lying if I said my move to PDX had nothing to do with beer.

    Back to Colorado or A-ville North Carolina or strike out some where new like Portland or Bend. Just a fantasy...

    I wish there was a way to move back home to Michigan and have all that badass beer.. But Texas is great and too hard to move from.

    I'm content to stay in the Philadelphia area for beer. There's a number of good breweries in the area, great beers get distributed here, and a number of locally-distributed-hard-to-acquire beers are a day trip away. I'm content. I've never been out and NOT had something good.

    It wasn't the only reason, but I was unwilling to take a step backwards beer-wise when looking outside of the Seattle area. Bend has not disappointed.

    Moving back home to San Diego in a month and can't wait. Not a relocation motivated by beer in the least, but the road trip back to the best coast will be!

    Seattle's probably somewhere in the top 10 for the U.S. beer scene, and I doubt anywhere else in the States is significantly different or better. If I really wanted to take things to the next level I think I'd have to go to Belgium.

    ANYWHERE would be an upgrade from my current non-existent beer scene.

    Bend. Massive brewery per capita positive, plus closer to Deschuttes and The Abyss!
