I recently moved to San Diego county and have been quite pleasantly surprised by the vast brewing community down here. There are a ton of great local breweries, as well as quality homebrew clubs.
One of the local and most acclaimed breweries, Lost Abbey/Port Brewing, is having a special first release of their Red Poppy Ale. Info on it can be found here: http://www.lostabbey.com/news/index.php
I was at a local beer shop the other day and was trying to find some beers by Surly or The Three Floyds or Bells, but to no avail. In fact, I was informed that those beers aren't in distribution outside their immediate area.
So that got me wondering if anyone from the Midwest who had access to those breweries would be willing to do a swap, whether solely for quality releases from respected breweries, or tossing in some homebrew as well.
Anyway, if you're interested in more info on the Red Poppy, here's the RateBeer page on it: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lost-abbey-red-poppy-ale/77393/
Cheers.
