Yes, it is tragic that in our great country that some of our greatest beers are only available in particular regions. Now if only we could have a federal fund to contribute to the mass production and mass distribution of great beers such as Fat Tire then it could be readily available in every grocery store in the US. Good idea. Or it could just be like an incentive to brewers lowering overhead bringing the price down and increasing demand and supply thus resulting in more plentifull cheaper beer.
