    My parents are heading to NY from OH this weekend and am hoping they can grab a few things I can't get here. I know it's a pretty general question, but looking for more "exotic" stuff. OH also has a 12% ABV law so I could take advantage of that too. I planned on getting some Flower Power, used to be able to get it here but haven't seen it in a few years. Looking for some other suggestions. Thanks.

    Time it right and you should be able to get some Ghandi Bot and some of the Jack's Abby IPLs which are slated to hit our shelves soon. Not sure what your 12% distro looks like in Ohio, but a lot of their stuff makes it to Albany, so if you're looking for any of the Evil Twin stouts (like Biscotti Break with cherries that just hit shelves this week) you're in luck.

    Allagash just started distro up here recently so I suggest getting some of that as well and their neighbors from Maine Brewing Company have been here for a while as well. A few other things we get limited distro on worth mentioning are Perennial, Pretty Things, and Midnight Sun.

    If sours are your thing, we have plenty of Tilquin (both versions), Golden Blend and Schaerbeekse Kriek.

    Last but not least, the price point is high, but if you're looking for any of the 50/50 stouts, we still have about 4-5 versions of the 2012 batch here, as well.
