    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 :astonished:

    I'd take New Glarus too... But didn't want to come across as greedy :wink:

    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.

    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)
