    Default Want to swap for some regional stuff... West Coast maybe?

    Alright, I travel a lot around the Eastern/Southeastern part of the country, and have access to a lot of the beers from those regions. I'm looking to just try some regional stuff that I can't get here (that's also good). If anybody lives in the West Coast or just somewhere with local good breweries whose stuff I can't get, I'd love to trade. I'll make it worth your while. And if you want something from this part of the country, name me some stuff you want.

    I'd be willing to trade you something. Shlafly's brewery here in St. Louis has some of the best beers in the midwest. There are also a few Nanobrewerys not too far from me that only sell locally... a few of their beers are pretty good as well.

    Yeah I enjoy Shlafly's stuff. We do get their stuff here, but I'm not sure if there is anything you can get locally that I couldn't? I always love trying nanobrewery stuff too. Do you guys get New Albanian Beers there? They just recently began bottling, and have stellar stuff.

    Most of the breweries here don't bottle. It's all draft and growlers. Some bombers tho. Soon Fat Heads will be bottling their IPA that won GBAF awards a couple times. I am going to get a case and then trade with y'all. It's gong to be in the spring probably.

    You might be right about that, but I haven't had too much from Boulevard.

    I'll cut you with a broken Shlafly's bottle!

    Pittsburgh. At the moment I can get interesting things from East End in swing top. They aren't cheap tho. There is Full Pint but there bottle offerings aren't all that interesting. Voodoo who's more interesting stuff is keg only. Helltown is promising. They make the best brown ale I have had but again keg only. Fat Heads now has Troegs old brew house and will be bottling in the spring like I said. That guy can brew for real. There is Penn Brewery which is so/so but they are a very old craft brewery. Started in the 80s.

    With the East End, what do you mean by "not cheap"? I was looking at their beers on the website.

    I'm extremely picky with what beer styles I like though. I really only like Pilsners, amber ales, brown ales, IPAs, DIPAs, porters, stouts, imperial stouts, barleywines, lamic, belgian wits, doubles, tripels, quads, barrel aged beers, doppelbocks, maibocks, marzens,

    ok, so i'm not really picky about what style.

    I'm not sure what the damage is exactly. I want to say its like 14 bucks a bottle including a deposit for the bottle. It's pretty high especially for a direct from the brewery buy. But it's the only way you can get it. What they have is on this page.
