Glad to see Bell's second and repeatedly represented. It's my favorite American brewery PERIOD.

38 down, 12 to go I guess.

ETA: or 14 to go because that's actually 52 beers.

DFH 90 Minute is getting vastly overrated. To put that above Bell's Hopslam is ludicrous.

Personally, I enjoy their 60 min more than the 90. Good for me b/c its like getting 2 more beerrs for the same price.

I will agree to that one. I had it years ago and thought it was pretty average to terrible. If you want a good milt stout get the Duck Rabbit Milk Stout. Brewed in NC I believe.

That may be my issue. I don't want a milk stout of any sort.

Yea but lots can be gotten in Texas or FLorida if you travel there. All the Bells, DFH, and a few others can be obtained easily.

Where?

I've seen a map of states that sell Bell's, but their site is down right now. I thought I remembered seeing it only as South as Kentucky.

Yeah but it would be nice to pick some up here. I have been picking up mainly DFH, New Belgium, Great Divide, and Allagash everytime I go over to Houston.

I make it to Florida once every year or so. Is there any specific place I should check out between BR and Navarre (Id drive a little further to Destin if necessary).

Thanks tetu. The map finally did load and I see that they're inching closer and closer to LA over the years.
