I take it you know about the 4 Hands and Boulevard breweries?
TBH, with the U.S. being so sparsely populated - you look like you live in the middle of nowhere! - I'm amazed that mail-order beer doesn't take off an awful lot more. I mean, I've ordered the odd crate of craft beers that I can't get locally, but for people like you it sounds as though it would be more or less a necessity.
Heard and drank Boulevard but not 4 Hands.Diamond Bear in L.R. But I wasn't impressed.
Mother's in Sprinfeild Mo,haven't tried....yet.
The BEST was Free State in Lawrence,Ks, a award winning ale,Copperhead.
They also won an award for their Barley wine,but I don't know to much about that type.
Really good place to hang out,great food,booze,music and great folks.The bar keep even gave me a free beer when I told him my dog just got ran over,helped with the pain.
If you have the jack most folks stock up at the package store.
And there are some great home brewers here.
It's three hours drive to any large city,my county has only around 7,000 people.Most sparsely pop in the state,about 800 at most in the county seat.Not one stoplight.It's also the largest county because of the hilly terrain.No gas anywhere after 9:00,You'll have to drive 20 miles from the county seat,head towards Russellville and it's 60 miles.
