    I'll settle for Jack's Abby at 15 miles.

    Within 100 miles there are many choices
    Foothills
    Wise Man
    Red Oak
    Natty Greens
    Four Saints
    Heist and all the rest in Charlotte

    Asheville is just a tad over 100 miles, so Burial, Highland, Green Man, Wicked Weed etal. Also Sierra Nevada and New Belgium are in Asheville now and Cigar City brews on Brevard.

    I've left out a ton, but obviously I have many choices.

    Kane is only 40 miles away. I'll just drink Sneakbox by the case.

    Damn 100 miles is super generous. I’d obviously take Fat Heads, Brew Kettle, Market Garden, Noble Beast (their Kölsch and Alt I could live off of), and Hansa (simply for their Schwarzbier). All of those are easily within 20 miles of me. Just off the top of my head

    Sierra Nevada Mills River
    Burial
    Wicked Weed
    Hi-Wire
    New Belgium

    Many, many other smaller Asheville breweries and the surrounding areas. But those would probably make up 95% of my consumption.

    5 breweries within 100 miles from me in Casper. 3 are worthy, the other 2 not so much.

    There’s a ton of new breweries , but you can’t try them a six pack at a time. Unknown breweries at kinda high prices is a problem for me.

    I've been meaning to try some beers from Hi-wire, any recommendations? I'm not a slave to any particular style.

    Also, any thoughts on Eurisko.

    Thanks and cheers

    Cigar City is pretty much exactly 100 miles from me (as the crow flies, longer driving), so I'd crush some freshies of their main line stuff (Jai Alai, Invasion, Guyabera, and the rest). Locally in Fort Myers, Point Ybel's Snook Bite IPA would be the one i'd drink the most followed by Fort Myers Brewing City of Palms Pilsner. Calusa Focus IPA would probably count as a regular offering too and I like that one a lot. Unfortunately most of the breweries I love in Florida within 100 miles mostly brew a wide variety of stuff on an irregular basis (Calusa and Angry Chair), which wouldn't count for this.

    It's a good problem to have. How about you start drinking your way through Gboro, i'll start in Winston-Salem, and we'll meet in the middle, K-vegas. We actually have two breweries here now.

    Similar to what I mostly buy now

    Russian River
    Cellarmaker
    Fieldwork
    Moonraker
    Urban Roots

    I'd really (and currently do) miss fresh Pivo and the stuff from the PacNW. Oh and had West Sac not Fd up, I'd have Revision on my list too. :rage:

    I could live with Fat Heads and Brew Kettle, both seriously outstanding.

    Back in the day, I was born and grew up in South Baltimore. Locally, everyone was into either National Bohemian, or Carling Black Label. The last Natty Boh I had was about 12 years ago when my father in-law passed. It was his favorite beer, and everyone had some in his honor. I never really liked Carling.

    Both breweries are gone (locally).
