    Abrasive is honestly the only one I've tried. It's amazing and I'm just assuming I'll be underwhelmed by the others (even if they're great, they're pretty expensive) BUT - I do have 4 coffee benders in my cellar, and I'm pretty excited to find the time to get cracking on those...

    AleSmith and Lost Abby/Port. I had the opportunity to visit these two breweries a few years ago, as well as Stone, and I fell for their beers. Stone is distributed all over now, including here in the Mid-Atlantic, but so far, no AleSmith, no Lost Abby/Port.

    I'd also love to get a larger selection of Founders, Avery, and Oskar Blues, but since, I do have access to some of their beers, I can't really be too upset. Beggers and choosers, and all that!

    Damn, totally forgot about Cigar City! I wish the Mid-Atlantic was in their distribution area too!

    Russian River definitely. Here in Massachusetts I can get most of the beers I want, but RR is the biggest exception.

    I'm East Coast. My fiancee is Chi-Town. Founders...haven't had too many of their beers but those I've spoken to rave about 'em. Also SOB! Now that they've started bomber bottling, Solemn Oath needs to spread their wings for real. That Naperville brewery rocks everyone's world! Combat Marshmallow, Snaggletooth Bandana, Scareball, Ravaged by Vikings...a never-ending list of tongue curling, stoke filled Hop Bombs!

    Hill Farmstead
    Lawson's
    The Alchemist
    AleSmith
    Russian River
    Deschutes
    Three Floyds
    Cigar City
    Jack's Abby
    Bell's

    This is quite depressing. I will say, I can get a couple (AleSmith, Cigar City, Bell's) if I go to NY or PA, but not real convenient.

    Half Acre, Revolution and Three Floyd's from just 2 and a half hours away. Firestone Walker from a bit farther. Of course Russian River, the Alchemist, and others but those aren't going to happen.

    Russian River, Founders and Cigar City are my top three...luckily I can rely on family scouting and sending me my stock and the occasional trip to locations where these beers are distributed so I can enjoy them.
