So what brewery would you choose?

I'd have to say Boulevard. They have an affordable and well-rounded year round selection plus their Smokestack series for special occasions.

 

New glarus or founders id have to say

 

Bear Republic.

 

Tebuken Strong Dark Ale , for sure

 

I think I'd have to go with Goose Island. Love Bourbon County Stout, love King Henry, love Juliet, don't drink IPAs much. Plus they seem to do lots of experimental beers at their breweries.

 

I would say Founders just to get into their Stout line up, but I don't like their IPA's at all. Now if RR and Founders unite there's the ideal.

Bells would probably be the one, 2H Ale, Hopslam, and I really the Expedition Stout. With respect to 3F I've had a lot of what they brew, but not enough to give them a vote. I also think this vote will be highly influenced by region and distribution.

 

We're kind of spoiled in the mitten aren't we?! Shorts....Bells...Founders...
What about Dark Horse? Ever had any of their goodness???
Last month I was in FL and visited Due South with my cousin. She introduced me to the bartender as, "her cousin, Jeni from The Great Beer State." The bartender said, "ahhhhhhh, Michigan."

 

So much beer to try ... it's almost a bad thing.

I said almost.

 

Founders.

 

I'd pick HF as well, but along with a barley wine, I would probably also miss having a good malt-forward beer thats not a stout or porter. Something like a good scotch ale or brown ale thats not hopped up to IPA levels.

 

First thought was Founders, like a lot of people here. But I might have to go with Pretty Things. I love their current lineup and every one of their new releases.

 

It's a coin flip between Big Sky, Avery, and Tommy Knocker, but I'll go with my sentimental favourite in Breckenridge.

 

Cheater! he said 1.

 

Hoppin Frog for me. Fred does awesome work and is very humble with pricing. I struggle to recall an HF beer that disappointed me. Okay... maybe the berry stuff.

 

How do you do a coin flip between two choices.

 

You all know me when i say it would be this one!

Thijs

 

Belhaven circa 1988.

 

A coin flip between 4 choices, ultimately. I dunno. I can "settle" either way.

 

I'm just messin' with you.

 

This is exactly what I was thinking. They have a great variety and quite a few exceptional beers (Yeti's!).
