I tried some new craft brews lately

I've had the following craft brews recently:

Magic Hat #9 - really liked, but don't think I couldn't drink it all night

Victory Lager - good stuff

Victory Hop Devil - also good stuff

Victory Prima Pils - not bad, but I like the previous 2 better

Victory Golden Monkey - I can't quite form an opinion yet. I like it but I don't at the same time. I haven't been a fan of any Belgian style brews that I've tried, but there is still something about this beer that appeals to me.

Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale - pretty decent, first pale ale I've had

I have quite a few more craft brews on the "To Try" list - brews from Great Lakes, Stoudt's, Troeg's, Magic Hat, and Penn (not sure if this is considered a craft brewery).

If anyone can tell me where to find Magic Hat brews in Pittsburgh, I'd be appreciative. One of the local beer distributor owners said he's been trying to get some in but can't for whatever reason. I wondered if this was the case throughout the state or not. It wouldn't make much sense to me since I had the Magic Hat in Baltimore, so I don't see why a distributor couldn't get it around here.

I was down in Chapel Hill, NC this past weekend and has Carolina Brewing Company's Oatmeal Stout and Pale Ale. Both are very good brews, but I'm sure I won't be able to get them in Pittsburgh either.
