Adirondack ... well .. I have not been impressed with any of the beers I've had from those guys. They don't suck, but they have no great character either.
Magic Hat and SA you can get anywhere.
I'd pick up a mixed 6 pak of some German beers if you can find them:
Ayinger Maibock
Köstritzer Schwartzbier
Schneider Aventinus (great wheat beer)
Schlüssel Alt
Ayinger Celebrator or Schneider Aventinus Weizen Eisbock if you're feeling frisky
I find most American brewers do good jobs of brown ales in the American Brown style rather than Northern Brown (Newcastle). You might pick up brown ales from a range of breweries. I haven't had a first class lager from any American brewery except maybe Victory Prima Pils, but that is likely more bitter and hoppy than you'd enjoy. I have enjoyed Otter Creek Pale Ale for a nice PA that isn't a blockbuster but a nice session ale. Their Alpine Ale isn't bad either.

I have tried 2 Adirondacks, the adirondack lager (was ok) and saranack lager (dont like too much). I like pretty much everything, the onyl one I hated and couldnt ever finish was Fishermans IPA by DFH I believe. I just want to try everything I can
