    Maybe a strange request, but I'm hot on the trail of top-notch American-made altbiers. Don't know if OM produces this stuff year-round or what. Anyone who can clue me in on how easy it is to see a six-pack of this, I am interested in trading for anything you might want from NY/PA area. Possibilities from Sixpoint, Ommegang, Founders, NorthCoast, Troegs, Victory, Ithaca, Bells, Capt.Lawrence, Jack'sAbbey, etc. Nothing super-rare involved here, but plenty of regional greats are possible. I'm an old-school guy, having only traded with family before, and I want to spread the love of these traditional styles when possible.

    It's everywhere. Usually located next to the Yuengling. I kid, I kid. But I'm kind of serious.

    Sorry for the quick sarcastic response but OMB Copper is everywhere in Charlotte. All the Harris Teeter grocery stores always have it. Most large beer store chains like a Total Wine as well.

    Copper is a fantastic representation of the style. Any comparison to Yuengling is completely ridiculous.

    Also, yes, it is readily available year around. I live a couple miles from the brewery. Shoot me a message if you'd like to make a trade. Always love fresh Flower Power.

    thanks all -- i didn't mean that I thought it was rare or seasonal, just staying honest in that I didn't know the particular availability down there. We become accustomed to things that are everywhere locally, missing how unique they might be to those outside the local scene. Samtallica, I'll reach out to you.

    Yep, it's their flagship and is, according to IRI data, the top-selling craft beer in Charlotte. And while it's everywhere here, you won't find it too far outside of Mecklenburg Co. (they did recently expand into the Triad area of the state).
