    There are a lot more, but these three I have tried more than just one or two different beers that I really liked.

    Here in Florida we just got Founders mid-2013 which was awesome! We are also blessed with Cigar City locally with a ton of great small craft breweries opening down here that are showing a lot of great potential.

    My wish list for Florida would be 3 Floyd's and Russian River for their awesome IPA's.

    None if I can't get them I don't care about them. I always drink local when I'm away and enjoy the beers but don't miss them when I get home.

    I'm sure I'd add 3 Floyds and Cigar City to the list if I could ever try their beer.

    I am in south eastern PA, I have a very large selection on things especially victory brewing, Lancaster brewing etc. I'm looking to get my hands on Pliney the elder and Younger for starters. Also would love to get Hedy and bells hop slam. I am willing to trade anything I can get in my area if anyone has access to some of the rare beers that are not as available in the south east of PA. Cheers

    I would love to see some new glarus, FFF, alchemist, and hill farmstead make it to CO. there are some other good breweries out there, but these seem. To be the ones that have no equal in colorado right now.

    I live in Washington just across the bridge from Portland , oregon. We have a good amount of beer here, but I miss Bell's, Bristol, and Left hand the most. Although, thanks to total wine, I can now get Left hand milk stout. In two weeks, I will be back in CO enjoying a Winter Warlock.

    This forum title kinda made me giggle. It's very unlikely that I'd have a favorite brewery that didn't distribute to my area since I prob wouldn't have access to many of their beers. However, Russian River is on my "favorites" list even though I haven't had any of their stuff yet. Also, does The Alchemist make beers other than Heady Topper? Just wonderin.

    Bells, Surly, Great Lakes, Clown Shoes, 3 Floyds to name a few. However I travel to MN several times a year to visit family and am able to bring back beers from these breweries.

    Awesome! I was using the distribution tool on their website and it wasn't turning up anything in Florida. Maybe it doesn't work on mobile devices.
