I don't think you can make a case for any city. It's a stupid thing to argue and even try to crown a "best place to get craft beer." So much craft is local that you're missing out if you only try what gets distributed to one city.

I think his point was that Philly has a greater variety of craft brews available from all over the place. Not just local, but hard to find stuff from across the country as well.

The three that made it are an amber ale (6%) from Los Angeles, a light amber bourbon barrel lager (5.5%) from Williamsburg, and a traditional gold lager (6%) from St Louis.
Just opened the amber, and it's actually pretty good.
The case was $12 at WalMart.

Last time I talked to the guy at the brewery (in Cleveland) he said that they started distributing in the Cleveland area all the way out to Western PA. Might be something to keep an eye out for. Maybe stop by the Southside and see if anyone at that Fatheads location knows where to get bottles.

What do you pay over there for those Franconian and Bavarian beers, if I may ask?

But since you questioned my logic: its the Only place outside of NorCal that gets Pliny the younger on release as well as constant barrels of Elder. Cantillon? Yep, all the time. Only place outside of Greensboro Bend that gets Hill Farmstead. Heady topper too. Good luck finding that outside of the cannery.
San Fran is probably the only city in the country that could compete with the distribution that Philly sees.

Anywhere from $3 to $5....I'm sure you can pay a lot more, for more obscure ones.

Asheville, Austin, and Portland all have craft scenes that blow Philly out of the water. Asheville alone has at least a dozen breweries in town.
