    High Cotton and Memphis Made are both opening up in Memphis 2013 , Ive heard great things about them so far and I am ready to have two new craft brewers an hour away from home, so for me they are the ones I will be watching

    I've always seen them around so I guess I never realized how limited their distro is. Hooray for MD/DE for once.
    ISO: Terrapin, FT: Evolution.

    Tired Hands also, I occasionally kick myself for not having gone up there yet.

    +1 to Jester King...they always seem to have something very interesting up their sleeves. I don't expect them to slow down now...

    Gonna go with Societe here in San Diego. Hopefully some of the beers from their sour program should see the light of day this year. Also, I'm crazy excited for some of the new stuff from The Bruery.

    Amen to this. They're the most exciting thing to come out of the Iowa beer scene since... well, ever, I guess.

    They're on tap all throughout the state, but since Iowa has shitty growler laws it's really hard to get ahold of any for trading purposes. I cannot wait until they start bottling.

    As for Indiana, I've been very impressed lately with Flat 12, out of Indy. Their boilerplate offerings are solid, but lately they've been nailing some really adventurous stuff like a Kiwi Hefe and a Glazed Ham Porter. I hope they start releasing some of the weird beers in bombers.

    They already have a ton of hype, but Boneyard is expanding and will have a canning line this year. Look out!

    These guys for sure. They even announced last night they're opening a second brewery in Denver this year.

    Not to vouch for my old hometown, but all the players in Utah are coming on strong. Uinta is really making a surge as well.

    Second for Greenbush. I'm starting to see their stuff more and more on draft and they kill it at the beer festivals.

    Jackie O's - the increased distribution through canning will get some of their regular line more distribution and hopefully turn on others to the fantastic unique brews they produce.
