    Do you awesome folks happen to know of any predominantly or exclusively Nelson-hopped beers I might be able to find in Upstate New York? The only one I've ever had is Against the Grain's Rico Sauvin, and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I've never seen Alpine Nelson around here. I would love to try that one. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    I think Jack's Abby is expanding into New York. If so, they do a Helles lager that hopped with Nelson that is amazing. If that makes it out there, definately something to seek out.

    We get a few of their year-round staples around here, but not everything, especially not their limited releases.

    OP, you might want to post this query in the Mid-Atlantic forum to seek the advice of fellow NYers. Most of the country is not familiar with Upstate NY distro and availability. :wink: Good luck though. Cheers.

    That's a good point.

    Pipeworks - Nelson Sauvin, just picked up a few bottles a couple of days ago, though I'm not sure how far Pipeworks distributes.

    Since you're from New York, how about Shotgun Willie from Peeskill Brewing or White Gold from Ithaca?

    You should be able to find these also:

    Widmer Brothers - Nelson, and also Drifter Pale Ale
    Brew Dog - Punk IPA

    Kelso IPA has Cascade, Columbus and Nelson. Its NY but dont think it makes it upstate but it may not be too far a drive.
