    Good call. Boulevard does have a diverse lineup of solid beers. I hope they make their way to Michigan in the next few years. Their variety packs are a good value.

    Alesmith has 10 year-round beers. 7 of them have a score of 4.0+, and two of the sub 4.0 beers are still listed as the 10th and 28th best beer of that style (for Brown Ales and ESBs, two styles that generally don't get much love).

    I've said for a while: Alesmith doesn't make bad beer. They're the only brewery that I can think of where I'd recommend anything they make before even trying it.

    I'd have said Brasserie Rochefort, but they only have three brews:
    • Trappistes Rochefort 10
    • Trappistes Rochefort 8 and
    • Trappistes Rochefort 6

    First instinct was to say Stone but, with the mentions of Lagunitas and Victory (Especially since DW is year-round), they both kind of beat them out.

    Gotta be New Glarus. Spotted Cow, Moon Man, Two Women, and barring catastrophe, Raspberry Tart and Belgian Red, joined by Serendipity in the past few years.

    Founders and Revolution are hard to argue with. Three Floyds is awesome, but it is so hard to find their best even close by where its made.

    This a real tough question and one that has lots of choices.For me its a tie between Founders ,Victory and Great Lakes.The lineup as follows (and I think that each lineup from each brewery has to very different.
    Founders=KBS,Porter,Centennial,Red Rye
    Great Lakes=Dortmunder Gold,Edmund Fitzgerald,Rye of the Tiger,Chillwave
    Victory-Dirtwolf,Golden Monkey,Storm King,Prima Pils

    Great Lakes first came to mind....i would go with them because of the diversity.

    Great porter, two decent PA & IPA, and two decent lagers.....something for everyone

    My regulars this year are:
    SA
    SN (<--- semi on my shit list atm)
    Anchor

    Humm same as last 10 years or so.:grinning:

    I have bought allot of Founders porter this year. pricey though
    I kind of like to drink more than most, judging by some talking about drink 1 or 2 beers a night. To me that is just a warm up. So I need more beer on hand. Thank goodness for Home brew. saving me a few pennies her and there.

    cheers!

    I might have to vouch for Lakefront Brewery. They've got their excellent IPA, their coffee stout, red ale, pale ale (which sadly, seems on the verge of extinction in favor of their new and admittedly awesome extended play session IPA), riverwest stein, and their dunkel, among a few others. All of these range from solid to really damn good
