Distribution envy

I'd round out that list with Odd Side and Greenbush to make a Michigan trifecta.

 

Westbrook
Firestone Walker
Weyerbacher

 

I'd like to find a Firestone Walker beer that is actually younger than the dinosaurs.

 

Shit, three?
Ok, Tree House, lets just see how great it is.
The other two, is like pick a number from one to 100. I'm sure they all have their kick ass brews.
So how about, Stone & Oskar Blues.

 

Firestone Walker, Bells and Dogfish Head

 

My most anticipated brewery right now is probably Toppling Goliath, but I feel like a large part of that is the fact that their beers are available so close to me (Minnesota), yet it feels so far from my rural Minnesotan town.

Otherwise, I'd love to be able to access Californian distribution (Russian River, Firestone, Lost Abbey etc), and the Northern East Coast (Alchemist, Treehouse).

While I do feel quite envious for the beers I don't get, I am thankful to be able to access the beers I do. Whether it's Goose Island, Surly, Bell's or others, I so often feel absolutely and utterly delighted whenever new releases reach my bottle store.

 

Well, I would like to see Troegs, Smuttynose, Ithaca, Brooklyn, and few others around, but, honestly, it wouldn't be an improvement over whats available to me now. So, I don't have any distribution envy at all.

 

3 Floyds, Jester King, Alchemist

 

Perhaps that's because many, if not most, of the bigger CA breweries already distribute across the majority of the country.

 

I think you are correct. Especially since Alpine went national. Only Russian River and a few others are still CA local and thus not many are sought after, and RR hasn't made anything new lately that the whale chaser/trader crowd is after either.

 

Well, RR is kind of a bad example. Limited distro in Cali and OR, plus Denver and Philly. Nobody really gets their stuff. A thing I find funny is, if I go a couple miles over the border into BC, I can get some Brooklyn, but not here in WA.

 

Reading some of the wishlists makes me feel really spoiled by Chicago distro

Nevertheless: New Glarus, Fremont, Hill Farmstead. And because other people got four, Crooked Stave.

 

Aren't there approximately 15,354 of these threads?

Other Half, Wicked Weed, Carton and Fat Heads.

 

To be in driving distance to tree house, my god

 

More realistic im jealous that Shorts is Michigan only....

Id also like to see New Glarus and a toss up for few but id say Bells because hoof hearted and tree house are un realistic at this point.

 

Sixpoint, Grimm Artisan Ales, 3Floyds, Lawson's Finest

 

This one allows me to update my answer from the last time to include Metropolitan, so I'm cool with it .

 

Treehouse
Russian River
Alchemist
Deschutes
(The rest of) Ballast Point line up
