    I recently wound up in Philadelphia for a night and discovered a huge booming craft beer scene. What fantastic beers are you east coast guys missing that people in the lakes can get all the time?

    When I lived in Appleton, WI about 2 years ago I'd bring home New Glarus Raspberry Tart by the gallon. Loved that's stuff and never see it home. That and Goose Island Matilda and Pepe Nero; but that's easy to get home now. Nothing else bottled (that I cant get home already) I found was worthy of taking home. In terms of brewpubs I miss the weizenbock from Stone in Appleton, the schwarzebier at Titletown in Green Bay and a bunch of stuff at Great Dane in Madison. Fratello's at Fox River Mall was solid as well.

    New Belgium and Boulevard. Mainly for La Folie and Boulevards barrel-aged beers.

    I really, really wished that New Glarus was distributed in PA (SEPA).

    Cheers!
