Yes there are Bastards from this side of the ol Miss. From the revial city of Pittsburgh, PA.
Raise a bastard to toast all.
from a new bastard myself

Hope you find 'em! The more the better!

Yea, it takes a while for them to get out to NYC, but they're here. Not my favorite ales but damn good ones. (Although my favorite barleywine is Old Guardian. :) And Ruination is definitely delicious and capable of it's name...

Tribe membership is mostly hippy and almost exclusively West coast. Most of the posts seems to be Westcoasters because tribe was originally a place for people @ BM to hook up with their new friends and fuckbuddies when they all got back to SF... Well, sort of. :) So you'll find more tribes on crystals and spirituality and polyamory than BATF Class III Automatic Weaponry Ownership and PA Boar Hunting With Knives Only, etc.
