The Mid-South BAs I've spoken to in person over the past few months seem a bit disheartened with the beer selection, both sub 6% and high gravity, the area has to offer. If you could hand pick any three breweries, which would you add to your area's distribution? Mine in no particular order: Jackie O's Bells Central Waters
Considering Jackie O's only distributes in Athens, OH (I believe) and Central Waters only in WI, kind of hard to lump those into the whole "tennessee is a horrible beer wasteland" argument. I could be wrong about the distribution, so if so, I apologize. And while I love Bells, I'll take Founder's all day (get it?) over them. But that's just me
I'd take New Glarus too... But didn't want to come across as greedy BTW - here's a great link for regional brewery distribution: http://www.seekabrew.com/distro/index.html Always good to have when traveling to new areas.
I would like to see Memphis get Founders , Lagunitas and Bell's............You can get all of those within 100 miles of Memphis , no reason you cant get them there
We have Lagunitas in Middle TN. I have heard Founders is coming soon. My wishes: Cigar City Founders Bells I think we may see this happen in the next year or so.
I'd go with: Jester King (because of my TX roots) Russian River (for their sours) Founders (got to have one widely-distributed brewery on this list)
