    Create a six-pack representing your state's brewing prowess. Imagine your introducing a friend to your state's brewing scene who didn't even know your state had breweries.

    Try to capture as much diversity, style range and quality as you can in just six beers. One-off brews, limited releases, whales and taproom-only brews are not allowed. Try to use only year-round or seasonals. Bomber-size beers are allowed, too.

    And...go.

    Clarifying question - would "limited releases" include something that is released once per year, sees distribution in bottles etc. but disappears for most of the year? Sort of like a seasonal but isn't always around for a whole season (nationally, thinking of like DFH 120 as an example).

    Pennsylvania - in no particular order and trying to be as diverse as possible. Trying to honor the original request in not limited one offs, only packaged and distributed beers...

    Neshaminy Creek - Shape of Hops to Come (soon to be replaced by good problem to have as their #1)
    Victory - Dirtwolf
    Troegs - Flying Mouflan
    Pizza Boy - Sunny Side Up
    Sly Fox - Saison Vos
    Weyerbacher - Sunday Morning Stout

    Tough since we don't have a ton of breweries that bottle/can. Assuming we have to only pick from those, my choices would be...

    Arizona -

    Mother Road - Tower Station (Best canned beer in AZ imo)
    Dragoon - IPA (They are having some canning issues right now but will be back at some point)
    Four Peaks - Hop Knot
    SanTan - Moonjuice
    Prescott Brewing - Achocolypse
    Arizona Wilderness/Buxton - Dragon Tips ( A far stretch since it was a collaboration with Bruxton in the UK but I am counting it anyways)

    This list made me realize that AZ is way behind in the bottling/canning lineup. It also really shows I am a hop head.

    New Jersey:

    Carton Boat (session)
    Carton 077XX (DIPA)
    Rinn Duin St Johns Red ( Irish Red)
    Spellbound IPA (such a bitter IPA, more than most DIPAs ive had)
    Flying Fish Dubbel (Belgian)
    River Horse Lager (unfiltered amber)

    I gotta give a shout out to Forgotten Boardwalk for being flawless if i could make it 7pk id throw in Morro Castle Smoked Porter.


    These are all year rounds

    I stayed away from Kane and other carton brews because there's more to NJ than just IPAs and barrels. I realize i have three out of six ipas but boat is unique, 077xx is unique and spellbound is seriously a bitter hop bomb unlike the carton beers.

    Pretty much everywhere with styles to show versatility of brewers.
