Here in New Jersey, we have a chain called Canal's...can get OSH there.
Interesting, when I asked a floor walker, he lauded it because it lacked

I was pleased but not so impressed. My ignorant pallet prefers some of the
local mini-brews (Flying Fish in NJ, a few from Delaware). I guess not all
English products transplant particularly well (except us and our vehicles).
