    LOL yeah you are tossing out some good brewers IMO. I really find SN, BP and GL very respectable brewers with high quality across their portfolio (and all 3 are not 1 trick pony brewers either). Ballast Point...I know they get alot of hate, and honestly I've never been a fan of Sculpin (or the fruity varieties of Sculpin), but I always found their other less popular beer styles to be very well crafted and tasty. I guess that is just me.

    Yeah, their pils is great, but I get my fix from Founders now. I need some Easy Jack and Stickee Monkee.

    I remember trading for, and enjoying, a few things from Old Mecklenburg Brewery years ago. Not sure if they're still churning out good lagers any more, but if they are, I'd like to have that in my area. I'd gladly give up Alagash, Ommegang, and The Bruery.

    I'll let this slide on the grounds that you may just not be a fan of the Chico yeast profile, which is one criticism I've heard come up a few times.

    Without getting into semantics (small brewery that distributes kegs to multiple other states), I would probably say Jack's Abby. Bell's would be number two.

    Get rid of Stone, New Belgium, Ballast Point, Goose Island, Harpoon, Toppling Goliath...... honestly I could walk around a beer store and get rid of half the breweries. So many don't add anything unique at a decent price point and I'll never need to buy from at this point

    Does 3Floyds count as one I can add?

    Nix Ballast Point, New Belgium and Rogue. (Also take out Wicked Weed, Elysian and Goose Island while you're at it, for obvious reasons) and gimme some 3 Floyds! I know Zombie Dust is a shell of its former self, but I love just about everything else they do. Such a fanboy

    I'd happily swap Rogue, New Belgium, Dogfish Head, Green Flash, ABI, Miller Coors, and Constellation stuff

    Gimme Odell and FatHead (assuming pFriem isn't large enough to count as regional distro)

    Preach it. I have to go to either Paso Robles or Venice to get my Pivo fix. Or thanks to COVID have it shipped.

    They are now distributing to CO so they count. Please refer to my "I'm spoiled" post.

    I’m just not HUGE a fan of SN. They’re good beers but I have plenty of other options. I have no problem with their yeast profile.

    I could probably do a “swap 15 for 1”. There’s so much beer that I don’t buy. So many brands. Giving up 3 wouldn’t make a dent in shelf space anywhere.

    It would sure be nice to get some Fat Heads.

    I'd be okay giving up Ballast Point, Evil Twin and Sixpoint for the opportunity. I don't really buy from them any more, which I guess is the point of this exercise.

    For breweries i do not drink much of if at all anymore: Rogue, New Belgium, and Boston Beer for Russian River.

    If we are talking about giving up breweries that i like for Lent and still occasionally have: Stone, Lagunitas, and Odell for a shot at Alchemist (fingers crossed i hear it is dropping in CO these days)!

    As an aside Da Boss and i have a trip booked for northern Vermont in September, just up the road from Alchemist. However, since all of us zany Zonies are tainted with the mutant Covid bug i am pretty sure we will not be allowed to visit without going thru the whole two week quarantine process:rolling_eyes:.

    Cheers, Tom

    You guys really do have it good at the crossroads of east and west there. Really hoping the wedding in October that'll have me out in Denver and CO Springs is still a go...

    You forgot;

    With me being in Ontario, many of you may not be able to relate, but I would give up Beau’s, Muskoka and Amsterdam for more access to Bellwoods.
