I feel like the US might have more of a selection of stouts than the UK (?) No idea cos I don't really go to specialist shops here.

Are these stouts readily available there? Or you buying online/going to particular bars?

Ah sorry lol

My guess is you are correct. the micro brewery in the states will carrry a ipa, a blonde pilsner, and a stout/ ale.

In particular supermarkets tend to only carry one stout, not sure if that is some sort contractual thing with Guinness or what. Might just be a matter of popularity

But I don't really venture out into specialist shops or breweries cos £££

While not stouts. Hobgoblin & London Pride were my favourites when I was out your way

I'm not actually big in ales, but they're both massively popular here

We have only been able to get beer in super markets for ~3yrs I would say we have 3-5 stouts from the local then all national brands are 5% flavoured water

Supermarkets didn't sell beers before that??

Nope only liquor control board or the beer store. Ontario is public owned.

Out West was private, all kinds of liquor stores. I could get beer delivered at 1am.

Still blew my mind that I could get beer at the gas station in the States.

It will really depend on where you are. Larger than modest population centers will easily have this kind of stuff available. But medium-sized breweries often don't distribute everywhere in the US, due to distribution laws, logistics, volume, etc...
