From searching the ISO:FT forums, it looks like I can trade Funkwerks beers for good locals like Russian River -tions or maybe some IPAs. Or am I off?
Pardon my ignorance, what should I be on the lookout for from Texas? We get distro of Jester King out here and picked up some RU-55 and FunkMetal.
Karbach FUN Series(Karbach in general), Freetail, growlers of Live Oak Hefeweizen, and they have Founders now so there's that.
Colorado gets several of the RR-ations and PtE. You might be able to find someone but might not be as easy as you think. But it should trade $4$ for good shelf beers.
