    I'm here and feel that way, since many of the beers I want aren't in stores.

    Realistically, if we are talking breweries that have some real distribution (and no, Lawsons selling at three stores and wider distro of SoS doesn't count, nor Alchemist's all northern VT distro):

    Westborook
    Cigar City
    NEBCO

    Fortunately, Grimm and Singlecut are showing up on shelves here now. We are truly blessed with disto here in MA.

    Well those breweries have been around much longer than the top New England breweries (Alchemist notwithstanding) & have had time to build up. Hill Farmstead, Tree House, Trillium, Bissell Bros, & Foundation are all very young.

    Ha ha, you so silly. They don't even hit distro in Colorado*

    *Actually, occasionally super limited releases of the lowest "grades" of Casey beers sometimes hit about 8 select shops in the state. The closest one to me is in Denver and they generally sell out super quick.

    Then again, no one ever said the list had to be realistic. Most of the brewery distro is limited because their production is limited.

    I wish Russian River could take of DC like they do with Phila, Pliny kegs and occasional drops of 375s. Westbrook would be nice too.

    Funny that many mentioned in this thread are in VA/DC and are things I never buy.

    Once Hardywood gets into their new brewery in Goochland, that may eventually spread that way.

    Also trying to keep this realistic:

    FFF
    FW
    Westbrook

    Hard to complain here in Minnesota. We got TG and Alesmith this year.
