We're not run by the state, but that's probably true I'll try that. Most of the liquor stores around here do suck though. I'm able to find some of the stuff you guys talk about like Bell's, Stone, etc. but its pretty hit or miss.

Oberon is probably my favorite wheat.
Torpedo is very good. I don't recall Steelhead. Sam Adams is always "meh" Capitol is disgusting...anything by that brewery is nasty. Ranger is OK. Most craft beer fans will poo-poo it, but I think it's alright.

NJ isn't run by the state but it's still tough to get certain beers. If the distributors that serve your store don't carry that beer you're screwed.

I live in SD right now and it's the worst for microbrews. I go to the grocery store usually for my booze, and the most uncommon beers they have there are Shock Top and Sapporo.

Steelhead Extra Pale Ale has been really good so far, though not much of a distinct flavor.

 [/IMG]Blonde on Blonde from City Steam. It is considered an APA but in reality it is a really hoppy blonde ale. either way at $7 a sixer it is well worth the buy if you are in the CT area.

Firestone walker's wooky Jack isa pretty solid beer. And Boise is an underrated town for drinking. Not as underrated as salt lake city, but close.

   The Stout is by far the best of the lot. The other two get much better as it warms but the Alt is way too high on the alcohol taste until then. I'd suggest slightly cooler than room for it. I really like the sweet caramel that comes out in the munikh as it warms.

I had a 12 of the Sierra Torepedo over the last few days. It's a little too hoppy for my taste, but I definitely get the appeal. The Ranger is fantastic as well.

Big Hugs Russian Imperial Stout or Baumé Half Acre Beer Co. 4257 N Lincoln Ave Chicago, Illinois Pipeworks is also in Chicago although I've not had them but they are one of the few Chicago Breweries that are offering Stouts at this time of year. 1675 N Western Ave Chicago, Illinois, 60647-5321 Victory Brewery seems to be available in Chicago so I'd really suggest the Storm King Stout from them its very good. Stone's Russian Imperial is available there as well (not under rated but meh) Personally I like Young's Double Chocolate Stout as well. If you go to West Lakeview Liquors they have a huge selection (if you believe their website) they should be able to help you with more 2156 W Addison St Chicago, Illinois, 60618-6136

 I bought one bottle tonight because I needed to find out how the **** a single beer costs $5 at the liquor store. And I found out because it's pure greatness. And 10%. And commenting on the above post, I met the Stone CEO at G-Allen's in Minnesota a week or two ago when he was there for the unveiling of the Stone chipotle beer. My review, I have absolutely no idea if I liked it or not, it was just too different for me to have any other opinion on.

Just from a list I have handy near my desk...
Dieu Du Ciel Aphrodite North Coast Old Rasputin Schafly Coffee Stout Stone IRS Southern Tier Choklat Southern Tier Iniquity Southern Tier Creme Brulee (zomg) Southern Tier Mokah Southern Tier 2X Stout Beamish Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Firestone Walker Parabola Jolly Pumpkin Madrugada Obscura (sour stout - one of my favorite beers ever) Founders Breakfast Stout Green Flash Double Stout (granted, most of these aren't "underrated"...but they're ******* good. And, yes, lots of Southern Tier stouts. They're really good at that style.) The best stout (beer?) I've ever had is the Stone Oak Aged IRS 2008. I've also had a few special release Bourbon County Stouts that were up there. Also can't forget about Founders KBS or CBS.
