    We've gotten a bunch just in the last year, my favorite is probably AleSmith.
    But we lost Russian River, not exactly an even swap.

    Founders to GA. They arrived early 2010 IIRC. A mainstay in my fridge.

    I'm pretty sure we got Lagunitas less than 5 years ago- I buy a lot from them these days.

    Currently- April 22nd is the rollout date for Great Lakes in my area (not that I'm counting the days or anything...).

    Prairie Artisan Ales coming to MO. Oh wait, once again Shelton Bros failed, and we were even supposed to be one of PAA's first markets...

    New Belgium, Goose Island, Founders, and I think Bells have all come in that time frame. Goose Island hasn't bough BCBS to my neck of the woods or they would win. I had a 2007 BCBS in 09 and it's still the most complex beer I can remember having and that's why they'd be number 1. Breakfast Stout is a seasonal and i have to be in the mood for Expedition. I'll give the nod to New Belgium. They've done the best job of bringing their whole line in and I can't argue with 1554, Trippel, and the Lips of Faith series. They are missing Dubbel here, which is unfortunate.

    Central Waters, Brewery Vivant, Deschutes (though not many of their beers yet) are my top three in IL. I'm sure i'm forgetting a bunch

    Won't rattle them all off, but here are a few of my favorites that have come to Iowa in the past few years:
    1. Bell's
    2. Founder's
    3. Green Flash
    4. Stone
    5. Tallgrass
    Rumors are going around that we'll see Deschutes, Lagunitas, Oskar Blues, Odell and Southern Tier between now and sometime in 2014 too. Fingers crossed.
