I'm curious how much of this perception is due to geography. There are definitely some great craft brews from those areas, but there are a ton from other parts of the US that are just as strong. Bell's and Founder's are both from Western Michigan, Goose Island (although not so much a craft brewer anymore) is in Chicago, Ommegang is in NY and that's just a quick list. Do you guys just not see much from anywhere but the west coast in Calgary?
