We are aiming to provide independent, subjective reviews of craft and regional brewery offerings, and we are big fans of the Sawtooth Ale. Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve had a hard time locating more of your offerings around here, as we&#8217;re in the Boston area. I have two questions for you. How much of a presence do you have on the east coast with distributors? Secondly, how would we go about getting added as a favorite link on your site? Thus far, we&#8217;ve only reviewed the Sawtooth, and I just picked up some Warrior IPA in the 22oz bottle to taste. I&#8217;d love to advocate for your brewery, as I can tell you that you&#8217;re not very well known around here, as I had no idea who you were until we began our site. Please let me know what you can do!<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n<p>Ian<br \/>\n2beerguys.com<\/p>\n<p>And Chris&#8217; response:<\/p>\n<p>Ian,<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the email, and thanks for thinking of us!
