    I live in St. Louis and you can't get DogFish Head here which is maddening. I've tried emailing them about what I can do to change this but did not get a response. The closest I can get it that I'm aware of is Springfield,IL which is about 2 hours away and I don't get out that way often. I know I can get it online and I get hooked up through family when I can. I do travel some for work and pick it up when that happens, but I really think they would do well here. I also can't get Russian River, The Lost Abbey. I haven't had anything by Alesmith, but from all I've hearing on here I'll fix that on my trip to San Diego in March.
    Also my brother in law lives in Denver and he can't get Founders,Bells,or Southern Tier. Craziness.

    What SammyJaxxxx said.

    You should move to Philly. We pretty much get everything expect for Boulevard and New Belgium.

    The world is a crazy place, indeed.

    Surprisingly, we get some great beers here in Maine, but I would love to get Jack's Abby, brewed only one state away.

    Founders and Bells. I don't really need there beers since I live out west and we have oodles of great breweries but more variety and competition can't hurt.

    Odell's. I would love to be able and get their offerings. Also would love it if some of those beers you hear about from time to time from California and Vermont make their way here.

    Good call on Cigar City. I'm all for that too.

    FOUNDERS is my only complaint.

    Apparently everyone knows it though cause I always get their stuff for extras.

    Cigar city. I tried there Brandy Hanaphu it was amazing. Alesmith speedway stout I can get in Wisconsin but i wish i could get the BA version. I am not sure if the BA version even gets out of Cali.

    Anchorage
    Russian River
    The Bruery

    (and so many more that I either like from having had a beer or two, or that I want to try for the first time)

    But those three are the three that I most often go out of my way to purchase online or trade for.

    We have a great selection here in Massachusetts, and there really isn't a lot of things I really miss, but at various fests I've tried and enjoyed Surly, (especially the Five) Duck-Rabbit, Cigar City, The Shed, and Hill Farmstead (those don't really count because a few hour drive I can get them)
    I also would like to have RR here (especially the sours,) Bells (Two-Hearted and Oberon) and Great Lakes (Ed Fitz, especially, but all I've had are good)
