but why are beers (especially ones as popular as Bell's) not just distributed across more states?
A ton of issues. Supply. Cost. Distributors. Legal permits. The system of distribution is generally unfriendly in this country, and each state has its own system that has to be navigated as well. Distribution is more complex than it probably should be, which slows expansion for almost everyone. Even breweries as large as Bell's.

true true. Hell, Alabama outlawed any beer that was above a certain ABV until like 2008, yet you could buy a handle of liquor on sunday no problem

I'm not sure what the restrictions are in Oregon. I know that brewers trade kegs with other brewers. We get a lot of out-of-state beers that aren't even distributed here, because a taproom owner might be friends with a brewer from out of state and that brewer will send a few kegs. Seems to be very lax. I don't understand how anybody can look at the stupid laws and think they are good for the state. Takes a lot of rationalizing to do that...
