I find that most people, if they've heard of and drank a Prairie Artisan Ales* beer it was their Prairie Bomb. That's a good beer, but again, asking people to spend premium six-pack price kinda money on a single 10oz bottle (I think this one is a 10oz, it's not standard that's for sure), is too much and it's hard to grow a following that way.

That was years ago though, now they have a wider selection of more accessible beers (both in style and affordability) and they're more popular as a result. It also probably didn't hurt to get bought out by Krebs brewing either.

*ETA: I kinda hate the name, always have, when I hear that I just see a Subaru covered in bumper stickers and it makes me itchy.

Agreed, and I meant as more of an out-with-friends or a special occasion thing, definitely not a session beer.

Speaking of, we've got a local can that will get you hammered for $3 each (and that's a bar price).

This is one of my favorite colder-season session beers:

In terms of Alabama, Trimtab probably has the most collabs and experimentals with other breweries, which is really cool, but invariably you'll find something you really like only to never see it again.
