    Mornin' BA's, looking for some bottle recommendations to pick up in South Carolina (Hilton Head). I'm searching for some brands I can't normally find in Michigan. Any suggestions? Cheers!

    I dont know about bottles (or HH area specifically) but outside of the obvious Westbrook and COAST, Freehouse, Riverdog and Holy City are worth seeking out. Riverdog is draft only I believe, and Freehouse only bottles their IPA and Saison (much better on draft IMO).

    Boyking (Draft only for now, bottles soon I believe) and Shanes DIPA are now out (Gose just came back), if you have enough time it might be worth making a little trip to Charleston - not sure if HH gets much/any COAST

    Also, for non local stuff use this

    http://seekabrew.com/distro/compare.html

    you can compare MI Distro vs SC Distro and see what brands we get that you dont. Seekabrew is usually FAIRLY up to date

    Edit: taking it a step further (you wont find NODA anywhere other than Columbia, and even there it's pretty scarce I believe, same with old mecklenburg (didnt even know we got any at all))

    For out of state stuff, seek out:

    Allagash
    Ballast Point
    Highland
    Terrapin
    Sweetwater
    Weyerbacher

    Decent stuff thats worth grabbing if you can get singles/mix 6:
    Caldera
    Duck-Rabbit
    Foothills
    Grand Teton
    Great Divide
    Lazy Magnolia
    RJ Rockers is ok too
