Shortly after Mike and I posted the poll, I realized it didn’t allow for any write in votes. I suspect a good many of you have strong opinions about these breweries as well as others we didn’t include.
With that being said, lets hear it. Who did you vote for and why? Who would be your write in vote? Consider this an open forum as we love to read comments.
Also, while more and more selection is great don’t forget to support the local guys. Not having Heavy Seas Loose Cannon in my life would present an big issue !
Here is the original poll:
Tags: Clipper City Brewing, distribution



I think you guys got most of the breweries I would think of immediately; obviously Russian River tops most lists (and rightfully so imo). With Great Lakes on the way, there aren’t too many beers on my wishlist after Founder’s this year. I’d throw 3 Floyd’s into the mix as well as lesser known Cigar City and Port.
Also, do we get Breck out here yet? Love me some 471 Small Batch DIPA.
Grover – Breckenridge does make it out here, but I haven’t seen any 471 DIPA since last year at Whole Foods on P. I’d agree the RR tops, I just polished off a Temptation last week and nothing even compares. On that list, I’d throw in Hair of the Dog, Ballast Point (but they have distribution in NC now), and Alesmith. I’ve been searching for Cambridge brewing, but haven’t seen any.
Yes on the Russian River.
On another note: is the re any Hopslam anywhere in the metro area? (Or is no one telling?) How abuot Life & Limb?
Three Floyds please.
And I second that question about Hopslam. Is there any around?
