Looks like they might have...on their website it is under "Beers we have loved" link.
I keep hearing good things about their beer but their website says they don't distribute withing 100mi of my zip.
They distribute only in Wisconsin.
My next brew is a Fat Squirrel clone anyway- it's about time for that beer again!

Well that's dumb. Fat Squirrel was way better than Two Women - which is about the most boring beer I've ever tasted (and not worthy of its name!).
Teromous: New Glarus only distributes in Wisconsin. I hear you can occasionally find it in New York and DC, too, but it's rare. They make a few pretty solid beers, and some great less-traditional stuff, but also several very mediocre beers (looking at you, Spotted Cow).

Do they have something against non-wiconsinites drinking their beer or something? I wonder if they'll start suing beer traders.

Nope. From their website:
Sorry about the limited distribution, non-Wisconsinites. There are only so many hours in the day to make beer and we can only keep up with the local demand. However, we would love it if you would stop by our little gift shop and pick some up.
Haha that's awesome they even used the term "non-Wisconsinites." I'll have to check them out if I ever get to cheese-land. It would be awesome if they do some kind of beer and cheese pairing.
Well, there are two kind of the people in the world. Wisconsites and non-Wisconsites. Otherwise known as "Cheeseheads" and "non-cheeseheads" for the rest of the world.
They do on their hard hat tour. They only do it on Fridays and you have to reserve a spot well in advance.
Was it even New Glarus that had a problem with it? I don't think they would be to upset unless they got in trouble for it, which I don't think would happen since they didn't distribute it.

Yeah, I'm sure they had a problem with it, but I doubt they were the ones the went after the guy. I guess he drove over here, loaded up a van, and drove back and sold it at his bar. Which I'm guessing violates a few laws/rules/what have you. I can't remember for sure but I think he may have lost his liquor license for doing so.
