I had no idea they were considered rare.  they show up from time to time in
the grocery stores here in Central Ohio, but only if the store manager is a
beer drinker.  There's also Beverage Source one town over, an good place to
find excellent beers from other parts.  They have some of the Summit Ales,
but I don't recall ever seeing the Porter.  I'll take a look.

Worst case, my brother-in-law is going up to Northern Minnesota next week
for vacation.  He has orders to bring back a few six-packs of various Summit
brews, just in case I can't find the Porter here.

My wife's family is *all* in RI.  We owned a house there up until about a
year ago - down in the Buttonwoods section of Warwick.  We're heading back
to visit and take a short vacation.
