    It's missing some things. Jester King is one that comes to mind. Local Option another. Cambridge. Lore - which is local. Plus imports, of course. Some of these depend. Crooked Stave, for instance, is just the four 375 ml in distribution in an number of states. I don't think Oskar Blues is limited. I'd have to walk down a beer aisle to see what I'm not noticing.

    Thanks, guys.

    The 4 Crooked Stave offerings, that is generally all you will find on the local Colorado shelves as well for the most part. Once a quarter, at most, we have gotten treated with something like Batch 60, Nightmare on Brett, or most recently, their collaboration with Anchorage (Against the Staves), but for the most part it is just choice between Saison Vielle, Surette, St. Bretta, and Hop Savant, though I haven't seen Hop Savant (which is my favorite from CS) in a good 3 or 4 months at least.

    I sent them an update on some in an email a few weeks back for Kentucky. Looks like they do need another though. It took them a week or so to add them. I find that site slightly handy. Especially since you can compare states. But it is only good as we the users can make it.

    I did find it odd they didn't have Against the Grain on KY before considering they are in this state lol.

    Where do you see that? Facebook last updated a couple weeks ago. Website says they are distributing to a few states.

    Didn't work out. I ended up at Beer Trappe, which is my favorite place, for Kings Day. Got to try La trappe Quad, which was excellent, and got a free glass!

    Hey guys, sorry to resurrect an old thread but wondering if drie fonteinen and/or cantillon is distributed in kentucky? I see that a few pubs have bottles for sale but not sure if they are from a few years back or if kentucky is still receiving shipments via Shelton brothers. I'm in the danville area and any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Sergio's has bottles for sale every now and then (for a pretty penny). I don't see much of it elsewhere, though.
