seems like you have to go out of your way to find these beers in LA (?)
I never found much at the average grocery store ... unlike other parts of the country
From MN if you like pale ale this is the local :holygrail:.
It's only by can or keg and I am pretty sure the distribution doesn't get far (Anchor Steam fans would probably poop their pants).
However a classic that has gotten worldwide recognition.

anyway, I vote for Colorado / Washington
BevMo on Santa Monica/La Brea. Whole Foods.
I can't get enough of Stone. It's all about their yeast.

Sween are you fucking with Greenport Harbor? They only do growler fills, but they're pretty legit.
It rings a bell, but I can't remember when or where I had something by them. I'm pretty sure they're served in some bars and restaurants out on the North Fork and in Montauk, which would explain the foggy memory. There's a distributor in Bellport (Big Chan stand up) that sells growlers, one of my friends lives out that way I'll have him check if they have it there.
i hope Delay doesn't stumble upon this and find out how gay you guys are for drinking this khaki pants nonsense.
No way! Last time I seen Delay he was extolling the virtues of, and comparing Belgian Trappist beer, while drinking a Rochefort 10 from a snifter. Bol then moved on to talk about how 2004 was a landmark year for Argentinian Malbecs.
i ride for the big microbrews victory, dogfish, rogue.
i visited philly and hit up yards, they had some pretty good stuff. they got this spruce ale that was ummm...interesting. also if you are from baltimore, they just started canning the resurrection ale from brewer's art. which is nice.
A couple of my faves:
Russian River Brewing & Stone immediately come to mind, especially if you're in the mood for an IPA. I like Lagunitas a lot too.
On the east coast I always liked Victory, Brooklyn (love their Pils), Magic Hat, Dogfish Head...
Easily one of my Top 5 favorites in the States; Pranqster, Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, and, in particular, the Old Stock Ale, are all superlative IMO.

SoCal has nothing on the northern half of our fine state.

obviously, there is some great stuff going on in the north western part of the country.
Bell's is my all time favorite, based in Michigan. HOPSLAM 4 LYFE.
All Northern Cali.
Stone in Escondido scores us extra points.
Odell in Fort Collins is my current shit.

Oh man, can't go wrong with anything by Long Trail. Their Hefeweizen is an automatic buy for me when it comes around.
Myself, I drink light amercan lagers, but comeonsrsly nobody's messing with the region of Cascadia when it comes to this stuff.

Locals around me Victory & Dogfish. Also dig the Philadelphia brewery's Kenzinger.

I don't know why, but I've never gotten around to copping this. Really that good?
This is my jamb:
This is super solid (I'm drinkin it right now) and actually from SoCal
and
local fave
Stone IPA kills Maximus imho. Something about Stone's yeast that is :face_melt:
