The other day, we received a message in our inbox:

Dear Hop Talk,

Do you know how I can order Mackeson Stout?  Apparently it is sold only on the East Coast, but is there a way I can get a few cases shipped to me?

Well, Graham. That’s really going to depend on where you live. I live in Maryland and I’m out of luck.

Have you asked your friendly local retailer? In my experience, they’re generally happy to help you find a beer from one of their distributors and even do special orders.

How about it Hop Talk readers? Do you have any suggestions for Graham?
