    I'll need more people from the Atlanta area to weigh in on this:

    Terrapin - Wake-n-Bake
    Wild Heaven - Eschaton (just barely escapes the OPs rule since you can grab growlers every now and then)

    Tough call when going across different types/styles, so I will backup the posts from my Ohio brethren and say:

    GLBC BA Blackout Stout
    FatHead's Headhunter IPA
    TBK White Rajah IPA

    Honorable mention:

    Parabola
    CFH
    BA Speedway

    I really didn't think there would be much of a contest in NJ. It's Head High by far. Their double dry hopped galaxy head high is even better, but as far as I know it was only brewed once.

    I feel comfortable seconding this. I feel CL deserves a spot and Black Ops is killer, but these are both solid choices.

    Nevada- the 2012 Bourbon Barrel RIS brewed by Alex Graham for Joseph James Brewing.

    (BeerandRaiderFan: BM me if you would like a bottle. I'm up there about once a month, and have had many good drafts from Great Basin. I'm a fan...but you need to give this 2012 batch a taste.)

    I don't think my scores reflect this, but I'd pick Lakefront Brewing's Riverwest Stein beer for Wisconsin.
