    Was checking seekabrew and says Prairie can be found in Arkansas. Can I get it anywhere within an hour of two of Memphis (LR or Jonesboro)?

    Little Rock...yes...widely available.

    As a follow-up, what is the best beer store in Memphis?

    high ABV Joe's or Busters they are within a couple of miles of each other so might as go to both to see what one has and the other doesn't. (went today Joe has DirtWolf Buster does not, vice versa Stone Enjoy By) For under 6.5% check out Cash Saver at 1620 Madison Ave its about a block south of Joe's. Mix packs of anything for about 7.50 If you haven't had it yet get Wiseacre in cans, there is also three growler shops in Memphis but the one in Cash Saver has the best selection/prices. If you are in town Thurs - Sat go to the Wiseacre taproom at 2783 Broad Ave

    Best bottle shop in LR is Colonial Wine and Spirits as they carry just about everything that comes to the LR market. They have a large selection of Prairie. I have picked up several four packs of Prairie Bomb there although they were out last time I was there. I think they said more was coming in Feb. They also have a big selection of Evil Twin beers. I don't know if Memphis gets Off Color Brewing (Chicago), but if they don't you want to grab a few when in LR. Metro Wine and Spirits down the street is also pretty good. Not as big of a selection as Colonial but they have better prices (especially on Wednesday which is craft beer day...10% off). They have some Prairie and Evil Twin.

    A new brewery opened downtown called Stone's Throw. They have a taproom and they have some guest taps occasionally. They had Prairie Ale on tap at one time...

    Flying Saucer downtown usually has at least one Prairie on tap as well...

    Chase (founder of Prairie) was at Colonial (bottle shop) and Big Orange for dinner tonight in Little Rock. I had the chance to meet him, and he was a really good guy. They provided a nice selection of Prairie Beers at the dinner tonight including Pirate Noir and Okie (harder to find/more rare) plus the regular line-up of great Prairie Beers such as Funky Galaxy, Merica, Birra, Puncheon, The Beer that Saved Christmas, Hop, Elizabeth, and Bomb! They are truly one of the great breweries in the country....

    indeed, made a trip to Poinsett County Package Store and picked up some Prairie Bomb. 1 hour away just south of jonesboro, really nice staff. While I was there I got Boulevard, Choc, and Evil Twin also.

    Prairie guys and myself last night well worth the drive from Memphis. Picked up quite a bit of bomb! I'm the over dressed one. The brew master Chase is holding the glass. The other two guys are part of the Prairie posse.

    Hell, you can get funky galaxy in El Dorado (Timberlane wine and spirits) now. (That's four hours away so never mind...) Prairie is getting around.

    It's been great having Bomb! on tap in NWA. Really enjoyed being able to compare it to the bottles I've had.

    No where near Memphis, but for the record there are a few Prairie beers available in Harrison at Shaker Beverage Shoppe. I have seen Bomb!, Funky Galaxy, and Birra. Bomb! and Funky Galaxy are only available as part of a 'pick-six' deal ($6.59 and $7.99 each, respectively). Birra is available individually ($2.50) or as a 4 pack ($9 ish?)
