    I have a friend traveling to the Philly area from Kentucky, and he has offered to bring back some brews for me. We get Founder's, Bells, Great Lakes, Goose Island, Green Flash to name just a few. What are some things I should have him look for? He's driving, so space is pretty good. Thanks for suggestions.

    Troegs Perpetual IPA is super-fresh right now and Flying Mouflon is available - definitely grab these two if you can. Also, your friend should visit Tired Hands - not sure what the growler policy there is but their beers are phenomenal.

    and the obligatory russian river sours (temptation, consecration, supplication) + salvation, redemption, and damnation
    possibly growler fills of elder, or blind pig, if right place/right time.

    I do have reasonable access to Victory & Troegs, but I've never had the Perpetual.

    Came to post this. You guys have Weyerbacher? That's my personal favorite PA brewer.

    Notable PA beers that should be available this time of year: Victory (Prima Pils, Headwaters, V12, Baltic Thunder, Summer Love), Weyerbacher (Sour Black, Blasphemy, 17, Merry Monks... some Insanity and/or Heresy may still be out there), Sly Fox (Saison, Ichor), Troegs (Flying Mouflan). There are too many beers from out of state to mention, but I'll also mention the obligatory Russian River sours.

    That seekabrew site is great, thanks for posting!
