What are your 2 favorite breweries?

I have a weird combo myself. I would have to say my favorite out-of-state brewery is Stone. But my other favorite is a local spot: Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co.

It's a fairly new place(just hitting their 2nd year) but they have blown up recently and I am loving to see the little place get some recognition and success. They make not only some killer brews but their food is awesome!

 

Thanks for this...we truly appreciate the support!

 

Odell (Not available in OK )& Founders

If I was going name a third Great Divide with Prairie as an expensive alternate

 

Smuttynose..their Old Brown Dog and Finastkind IPA are exceptional. Also Dogfish Head and their Brown IPA and 60 Minute.

 

Like a few other people on this thread, I'm a bit of a homer myself. My two favorites are Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in Richmond and AleWerks Brewing Company in Williamsburg (so awesome to have one of the state's best breweries within a 15 minute drive from William & Mary's campus). While both breweries have solid year round lineups, there's nothing mind-blowing. It's their seasonals and reserve beers, however, that put them on par with any other well-established brewery in the country, in my opinion (especially Hardywood given that they've only been around since 2011). If I were to look outside of the state, I'd be hard-pressed to get it down to just two. I can say it'd be down to some obvious choices like Stone, Sierra Nevada, Dogfish, Avery, Founders, Great Divide, The Bruery, and Firestone Walker. A sentimental pick might be Deschutes because Mirror Pond Pale Ale and Black Butte Porter were the first two beers I ever had.

 

FFF and Russian River.

Half acre is a close 3rd.

 

3 Fonteinen & Cantillon (I suppose)

 

Too many to just pick 2. and i doubt ive had enough offering to just pick 2

 

Odell and Firestone Walker.

Funkwerks is probably inter-changeable with FW.

 

I'll say Lawson's Finest, because DS is my favorite beer, and New Glarus, because I think it's cool that they don't sell outside of Wisconsin when they easily could.

 

Trillium and Firestone Walker. Haven't found a beer I don't like from either.

 

Hill Farmstead and The Alchemist.

 

Lagunitas
Stone
North Coast
Firestone Walker
Sierra Nevada

 

Midnight Sun and Anchorage Brewing...I always support the locals first and foremost.

 

Locally - Oconnor's and Alewerks
Nationally - Maine Beer Company and Firestone Walker
Honorable mentions - Sixpoint, Founder's and Avery

 

Full Pint
Church Brewery

local guy

 

Crooked Stave and Dechutes...one because im a sour nerd and have been blown away by almost everything CS makes.... and Dechutes because consistency and quality along with a fair price goes a LONG way in craft beer loyalty plus they don't really make a stinker in their entire lineup

 

Deschutes and Hill Farmstead

 

Local - Wicked Weed, Burial Brewing Co.
Non-Asheville - Russian River
