No Dogfish Head? GTFO!
As an aside, I tried Sam Adam's West Coast Style Rebel IPA this weekend. It's pretty decent.

There are a few beers that I can't get here that are among the best beers I've ever had: Three Floyds Zombie Dust, Russian River Pliny the Elder, & Russian River Blind Pig.
A few seasonal/limited that have really impressed me are Lagunitas Sucks, Drake's Aroma Coma, Founders KBS, certain Stone Enjoy By releases (some have been better than others).
Some of the better ones that I can buy around here at pretty much anytime: Dogfish Head 90 Minute, Ballast Point Sculpin, Stone Ruination, Firestone Walker Double Jack, Green Flash West Coast, etc., etc., etc.
One beer I've been bringing home a lot recently is Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. It's a really hoppy, delicious DIPA (8%) and a bomber of it is only about $4.50 or so, which is significantly less expensive than comparable offerings from other breweries.
Some of my local beers are (512) Pecan Porter, Austin Beerworks Sputnik (seasonal), Hops & Grain Greenhouse IPA.
I'm surely forgetting some really good beer but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.

It's the best of the big three. But that's not saying much.Have I said lately that I like Miller Lite?

Don't have that here. I see it is in some neighboring states, so I'll have to look for it when I travel.
I had the Rebel IPA recently as well. I'm not usually a huge Sam Adams fan, but I thought they did a good job with it.

I'd really like to try some Russian River stuff. I think it'll have to be the next time I'm in Colorado. It isn't very widely distributed.

I've tried just about every kind of beer there is. The only difference I could figure out was the amount of sugar they fed the horses before they pissed in the bottles. I've never been able to develop a taste for beer.
I'll stick with my Jim Beam.

New Belgium recently released a new beer called Snapshot. I picked some up the other day.
It's not bad. It's a solid wheat beer with just the right amount of citrus hints. You can detect the citrus but it's not too fruity like some of those lime beers.
It has a pale yellow body and it's not too foamy.
It's smooth and very easy to drink so I think this would fall into the day beer category. They're very "crushable"....meaning you can kill about 3 or 4 of them while watching a game and still be functional.
If you're tailgating and like wheat beers this beer should be in your rotation.

Go get some Stone Enjoy By 4.20.14 if you can. F'ing great. They do a few of these Enjoy By batches every year and this one might be the best one I've ever had. It is outstanding and a near perfect representative to my favorite style of beer.

I'll look more this weekend, but my one go to place said they sold it all in 2 days.
I bought some Game of Thrones beer, but haven't tried it yet.

There is a section on each titled Why to Buy: (Information is a little old, so distribution might be a little wider).
