Updating my original post:
I live in Iowa and would appreciate any beer I can't get here. My personal preference is for strong beers (barley wines, imperial stouts, porters, ipa/double ipa/black ipa). I also enjoy a good sour. I don't drink many Belgian style beers, but if you have an excellence local beer I'd be excited to try it no matter the style.
Some breweries :
Russian River: any you like but I would enjoy a Pliny
The Alchemist: any but I hear Heady topper is a decent beer i'd like to try
Three Floyds -Permanent Funeral or really any if they have other big beers available to you.
Avery: I don't know their selection so choose great beers you enjoy from them.
dogfish head: Midas Touch, Burton Baton, Palo Santo Marron, or a 120 minute ipa
Cascade: my favorite beer is the Bourbonic Plague (even though it's my favorite I'd prefer to sample something new).
Hair of the dog: Adam from the wood, Cherry Adam From The Wood, Doggie Claws, fred... fred from the wood, bourbon fred from the wood etc...
Gigantic: any awesome ipa or iipa.
Southern Tier: 2XIPA
Alpine: Nelson
cigar city: jai alai
I understand a lot of the beers listed are pricy. No need to send 17 my way, I'd be grateful for one or two strong and amazing sipping beers. I don't even mind receiving beer from breweries not listed here, these are just listed as suggestions. Thanks in advance!
Also I'm headed to Wisconsin tomorrow for thanksgiving and to pick up new glarus for Hulud!
