I've tried buying Sweetwater in NY but they don't distribute up here. Very frustrating to know that you live in the United States but there are laws about what beers can be distributed where. Why can't I order a case of 420 IPA or Blueberry from Georgia just like I would anything else out of a catalog? I've asked the local beverage stores to order it but they said they can't because of these same distribution laws.
The farthest north I have found Starr Hill is Maryland and I have found Sweetwater in NC, but I think that was a one shot deal. Best bet is to mailorder ... but you pay way too much. I'd say stock up next time around. We had my wifes Civic filled to the roof with Fat Tire on the way home.

we have both starr hill and sweetwater at the grocery stores in NC now. this thread inspired me to pick up a sixer of the northern lights last night, really a solid IPA
My summer was officially made when i went to a bar here in murfreesboro after roo and they had wacko on tap. I closed my eyes and I was suddenly standing in a field...

i bought wacko last week
for those who have said starr hill is nothing special, let me know if you find something comparable to the love ale. i was out the other night and ordered "banana bread beer" in a huge bottle from the bar and it tasted like shit compared to love ale.
and imho sweetwater doesnt compare either...blue and 420 are amazing.

Florida finally got Magic Hat a few weeks ago, but only no. 9 on draft...blah. Apparently mixed 6packs are to be sold in stores down here soon. I hate magic hat's marketing, just give us the damn beer already!
Until then i'll stick with Smuttynose IPA, or any Stone IPA...

Theres no Fat Tire or Sweetwater in NY unfortunately. The only time I get to enjoy those two brews is during the month of June. But I'm definetly stocking up when I come down again this year. I wish I didn't have to wait, but its almost worth it. We just recently got green label jack up here which was a nice little treat and totally had me thinking I was in Manchester again.
I thought Fat Tire was everywhere now. We've had in Indiana for quite some time now. It's def my brew of choice.
It hasnt made it here yet. I drive once every coupla months to visit some friends in NC and they have it. But not us. At lest I have Troegs to keep me company.
