Never heard of either of them... Maybe this will bring greater distribution...

Someday, after opening a brewpub, I'd like to open a national chain of stores that only carries the small local breweries from across the country, less than 15,000 barrels a year in production. That would be cool..

They're both small breweries. I only posted it because I found it before any of the other sites.. I'm not very good at keeping up on the news, but in the rare occasion I find something first, I'll post it.. Cool

I like your idea. I wonder how distribution would work? That seems to be a big part of the problem with getting your hands on smaller breweries' beers. Well that, and many of them don't bottle. Still really like the idea. Wouldn't have to go out on the road to try new stuff..

There would have to be some sort of agreement with each brewery to use a private shipper to get the supply there. That would mean an assload of travel all over the country to meet brewers and set up business deals... Definitely something I'd love to do..
