Buy Beer From the Source

Cascade sells online.

 

Rogue sells online.

 

I think The Bruery

 

When I last ordered from them, they were only shipping to CA. That may have changed, but you should check. I wasn't too happy with my order when I got it, two duds and the excellent Oude Tart for $70-80 was a huge bust.

 

I know liquor laws prohibit it in a lot of states, but I wish all breweries did this.

 

Check the Ohio law on this. As Rogue points out on their web site, certain states prohibit importation of alcohol by private citizens. For example, I can find places that will ship to me, but it's against PA law for me to have untaxed (by PA) alcohol in my possession.

 

PA = The most "backwards" state in the Union....

 

Born and raised in PA, ran a few bars while I was there and it was a pain with all the back-asswardness that you have to deal with but I will say, living in WV now, PA gets a much better distribution

 

Agree...very good distribution. Just a pain with everything else!

 

Don't understand why most breweries don't do what wineries do.....ship stuff to your house.

 

In some states, the state laws that let wineries do it but not breweries.

 

Lazy ass buearucrats. They don't want to do the work to get the laws adjusted to make sense (i.e. wine direct to home but not a brewer) unless it benefits them personally somehow to make it worth their while to lift a finger.

 

Obviously it's not what you're asking, but every brewery I know that does sell directly has been mentioned. Anyways, you might want to consider online beer stores?

www.france44.com Surly online
www.wineandcheeseplace.com Best bottle shop in my area. The selection is probably pretty similar to your local shops, but there's probably something that you can't get. And of course, our locals. Perennial Artisan Ales is the most popular, but 2nd Shift never disappoints, 4 Hands is a very quick up-and-comer, as is Alpha brewing, and of course there's Schlafly.

 

Colorado won't ship out of state, I learned the hard way when applejack.com cancelled my $150 order. I found a couple great sites in halftime beers.com and craftshack.com. Shipping hurts but a good way to get some good stuff.

I've been to cascade before it's very clsoe to where I live, very good sours and you can get tasters of almost everything for around 2 bucks each
