Favorite breweries that aren't distributed in your area

Founders, Jack's Abby, Lagunitas, Cigar City, Dogfish Head, Firestone Walker..I could go on for days

 

While the prices aren't always great, it seems like we do okay in the Pittsburgh area in terms of brewery availability. Would obviously love to have access to stuff that has extremely limited distro (Three Floyd, Surly, etc), I think the one that is available on the other side of my state that I wish was here is Firestone Walker. Had their Double Jack on tap and would love to try their other offerings.

 

Allagash, 1 time I saw a few bottles around here and that was it. Haven't seen them again ANYWHERE.

 

South Carolina has come a long way in the past few years so to say that "I want more" sounds like I'm not greatful for the massive changes that have happened. I am very much greatful

However, since I opened my mouth by starting a response to this post, I submit the following "realistic" additions (I mean realistic 'cause I'd like to have Hill Farmstead, etc. but they are not at that same output level).

If Russian River, Cigar City, The Bruery and Three Floyds were available in SC, I'd be even more happy than I already am.

Deschutes and Firestone Walker would be my next tier.

Guess I'll have to keep traveling and start trading again..

 

Check your conversation box!

 

Odells, Funkwerks, Great Divide, Harpoon

 

founders, russian river

 

Because you get New Glarus.

You can have one or the other, but not both. That's just not fair to the rest of the country.

 

Short's and Three Floyd's... Come on TFB, we sent surly your way! Throw us a bone!

 

Well.... Hand over the Heady Topper and we'll talk.

 

Surly. Well I guess it's somewhat distributed in my area now. If I went an hour out of my way I could get it.

 

Founders
Bell's
Southern Tier
Victory

 

Cascade, New Glarus and Logsdon are the first few that come to mind. I'm sure there'd be more if I thought harder.

It'd be a longer list if I were to rattle off breweries that are distributed here, but have various desirable beers that are not.

 

New Glarus is my number one out of state beer... Although, there is plenty to choose from in Michigan, I cannot complain.

 

RR, O'dell, Alchemist, FFF, and Surly to name a few.

 

Three Floyd's
Alpine
Hill Farmstead
Founders
Bell's

 

From what I've had Russian River, Alchemist, Lawsons. Also more fresh Firestone Walker/Bear Republic.

Id love to try something from Bells, 3F, Surly, Cigar City, and Alpine.

 

Surly, Cigar City, and anything from Russian River.

 

I used to live in Colorado
Can't find Oskar Blues up here
New Belgium
Great Divide

 

Foothills Brewing Company, Noda Brewing Company. Sure wish I didn't have to drive to North Carolina from Florida to buy some!
