Within the last year or two, Arkansas has gotten:
Oskar Blues
Victory
Clown Shoes
Sixpoint
Founders
Summit
Prairie Artisan Ales. Stone
Bells
Lagunitas

While I'm excited about seeing Bell and Laguna taste become readily available in my area, I do worry about quality. I believe that when some of these breweries begin upping production in order to supply more areas, then the quality starts to lack.
In Lagunitas case, I know they opened up a second brewery in Chicago. I would assume that's what we're being distributed, and the last six pack of Sucks I tried was not that great.
I did enjoy the Two Hearted I had this week, but it wasn't as good as I remembered (although I admit the first time I had it was on tap in KC with some great bbq, which probably made the beer even better).
