All three beer companies are getting bigger and pulling out of their smaller markets so that they can supply there bigger accounts and restaurants.
Dogfish has their own brewery/restaurant so there taking care of themselves first, only place you can get their 120 IPA, which is like 20% alc, which is crazy.
Both Oskar and Great Divide have huge followings in Colorado where there from. Their growing in popularity all over too.
Unfortunetly RI is small market, so were losing a bunch of good beers at the restuarant.
Yes MA will still have them for sale in bars and stores, so no biggie if you live close.
Does hurt the bars and niche places.
