    I've said it a few times on here so many of you are probably tired of hearing it. Burlington Beer Co. is innovative and yet incredibly consistent with delicious beers, my favorite for sure.

    When they have a barrel room release, every other thread is ISO: Voodoo. Read some of the reviews and check out the scores on these guys:

    Well I would say Olde Hickory or something from Asheville but they're in the western part of the state and not too close. I will say I have an affinity for Raleigh Brewing Co.

    Harmon Brewery in Tacoma. Good flagships and a few seasonal releases that are among my all time favorites, especially the vanilla porter.

    Abandon opened November 2013. They have a 10 barrel system and brew a lot of belgians. Great stuff and great view. And I'm pretty sure Dr. Frank's is in Hammondsport. If so, and you don't already know, Hammondsport Grocery has an impressive craft beer selection. You'd never guess it looking from the outside but they have some gems hidden in the back of the store. I've gotten on their good side so they let me snoop around in their back stock. But even without going back there, you can find great stuff.

    I just moved from Michigan and it was Vivant there.
    Now it would have to be Temperance which is about 40 minutes away and the nearest to me.

    I love many by Foothills over in Winston-Salem, but my new favorite is Gibb's 100 in downtown Greensboro. The Blind Man's Holiday/Greensboro Pale Ale (GPA) is a really great everyday beer, rich and full, easy to drink, and gone before you know it! Draft only and it's worth finding.

    Dust Bowl Brewing, which makes a far better product than we deserve.

    Barrier Brewing - they make so much more than IPA/DIPA this or that.
    SingleCut/Finback are my 2nd choices.

    That's a lot like asking who your favorite kid is - it varies from day to day.

    5 Stones continues to create amazingly creative beer. The difference with others is that they use fresh, and when available, local ingredients. A true San Antonio treasure!

    Obviously a neighbor of mine in Ft. Collins!

    Have to agree on one aspect in that I think Odell's is the best of the larger breweries in town. They're putting out consistently amazing beers (get the Brazzle if you have access!)

    Small breweries are tough as there ARE so many. "Favorite" is tough, but my "Favorites" are Black Bottle, Funkwerks and Horse & Dragon....really though, there are no weak links in the brewery chain out here....

    Well, except Anheuser-Busch.... But they're more like the the red-headed stepchild to the Ft. Collins brewing family. Apologies to any resident gingers like myself ;-)
