  I can get all of those in my area. Have to drive to Springboro for Lagunitas since Lagunitas' Owner is pissed at Cincy.

  lol really? What's the story on that?
  
  I live about 30 min away from the brewery and love their beers, but outside of Brown Shugga' and Sucks nothing really jumps out to me as amazing beers that I can't get get substitutes from other breweries. Now their price is right though. $8 for a 6 pk is hard to beat.

  The story I heard goes a little like this and I won't name the person or establishment that did it, as I've only read about it once on a blog.
  
  They were set to distribute in Ohio on a specific date years ago. One location in Cincinnat put it out on tap for growler fills prior to that date. The word got back to Tony Magee, Lagunitas' owner, and he pulled all their beers from Greater Cincinnati because of it. Supposedly he said it will never be in Cincinnati.
  
  There is a big push now from many locals to get it back in Cincy. The Guy who pre-launched it no longer is/will be working at that establishment as he is taking a position with a new brewery in Northern Ky. Sounds like it's a 'we will see' reply from Tony at this time.

  Three Floyds entering the equation could be a deal breaker. I think I'd put them second to Russian River.
  
  Not sure on third. Maybe Founders.

  For Christmas, I'm asking for this from any out-of-state or over-the-pond friends of mine:

  It's a tart cherry. Think Bing Cherries, not sweet. Think delicious. Lots of carbonation too. Love that beer.

  Dig the 12 Dogs as well, and not just because it's from the home team.

  Count me in as another TD>GL xmas ale.
• ernest_t_bass

  

  I definitely like the higher ABV. I had one of each (not Pumking), and damn... potent!
