Imposters
 

I have the answer, which I will relate after these other quotes.

The answer.
All these beers, including the Elysian about which you knew, are from “imposter” (a|k|a “crafty”} breweries owned by a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev: Golden Road, Wicked Weed, and Blue Point. I bet Kona, 10 Barrel, Omission, Redhook, Devil's Backbone, Breckenridge, and Platform will appear as well (if they have not already). [Ninety percent of Founders is owned by Mahou San Miguel Brewery {Spain}.]
I strongly suspect there was some behind-the-scenes machinations involving these crafty beers getting slotted on the shelves of a grocery store in central Florida. Oh well... :rolleyes:

Speaking of, I'm trying to get rid of a Breckenridge Brewery 15-pack sampler. Tonight is their Breck Lager.

Hazeway IPA from Winding Path Brewery. They are local and had a launch "party" for Hazeway tonight. Enjoyed one at the brewery and as part of the event, received some brewery swag (pint glass, koozie, bottle opener) and a 4-pack to bring home. The pint at the brewery and three cheeseburger sliders were also included in the cost. Also enjoyed a flight that included one of their other IPAs, a lager, a coffee stout, and a golden ale while there.

I'm working on a Weekend Vibes IPA from Coronado. On deck are a Villager and an Animal, both IPAs from Fort Point.

Slowly knocking out a beer from each state on Untappd.

Ooh, now I need to figure out from which states I've had beer (or basically how to get untappd to show that). Off the top of my head, I know it's most of them. Not sure about Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Arkansas, Iowa, Mississippi, and Indiana; I can think of beers I've had from almost all the rest.

Click on your profile. By "Beers" click "See All." Click to filter (at the top, in the right side of the search box). Select "Filter by Country," and deselect all. Select only United States, and click "Apply" Then, click, "Filter by Region" and that brings up the list of states for which you've had at least one beer. Apparently, Arkansas is challenging for most.

My missing states are:

• Alabama
• Arizona
• Arkansas
• Idaho
• Iowa
• Kansas
• Montana
• Nevada
• New Mexico
• North Dakota
• Oklahoma
• South Dakota
• West Virginia

Ooh, thanks. I learned I have had beers from most of the states I thought I was missing. Have 49 counting DC in fact; alas, Arkansas is one of the missing two (Mississippi is the other).

Most of the ones on your list I have had by stopping into breweries or brewpubs when traveling. I do hear that WV has a couple of great breweries (everything from there that I've tried has been meh, but Weathered Ground is supposed to be great. Close to where I have some family, so I may have to have them snag some for me.

Galaxy and Comet IPA by The Hop Concept.

I didn't know Untappd tracked it until recently, so I didn't pay attention to the states.

Ghent, WV? Middle of nowhere, WV! I was in Ghent for a day almost 20 years ago.
