    Thanks for posting. I'll be keeping a few of these in mind... Glad to hear that Maine beer co. has upped their production. Maybe now I can actually find a bottle of "Lunch" on the shelves!

    A really great list actually, lot's of young breweries that are just starting to make a big name for themselves.

    I'd give Illinois homer honorable mentions to
    Off Color Brewing and Destihl

    Good list; would have liked to see Tired Hands make it on there though. They're doing some amazing things.

    Awesome list! I wanna try some of those breweries.. I worked in Oklahoma city for about 3 months last year and never saw anything from Prairie Ales :slight_frown: I wish I would have known about them back then because I would've stocked up.

    ... Also, Burnt Hickory "Courageous Conductor" a red velvet porter??? Gimme some!!

    Societe is on there, as they should be! Fuck yeah! As long as they keep all their beers draft only I'll be happy.

    Pipeworks, of course! Although I *think* they're starting to build up some recognition, at least around these parts.

    Happy to see two local DC breweries on the list...even if one of them isn't even producing yet, as noted above.

    Solid list, I've had a few of Foolproof's offerings here in RI and they are great. Every bar I've seen carrying their stuff has sold out quickly

    I would have liked to see Toppling Goliath get a nod, as well.

    I was able to try Perennial's Heart of Gold at a local shop last Saturday night and was able speak a bit with one of the brewers (it always impresses me when the brewery sends somebody to one of these small tastings who actually worked on the beers being served.) I really enjoyed most of what he was pouring, but Heart of Gold was my clear favorite. Ended up walking away with a bottle and will definitely buy it again in the future.
