    SNPA, Founders and Bell's.

    Modern Times would be up there if it became readily available. I've had 6 beers by them (the 7th is on deck for tomorrow night), and they have all been delicious.

    Deschutes, but I'm such a review ***** I haven't bought Deschutes in forever.

    Mirror Pond, Black Butte Porter, Obsidian Stout, Red Chair NWPA, all good.

    +1 for Odell. Rupture is one of my new favorite beers.

    The Westvleteren core lineup is just OK. Their mixed spring seasonal pack and their one-offs are where they really shine. :wink:

    Although I buy more beer from Short's because of their seasonals and specialties, especially the variety of IPAs and DIPAs, I don't think much of their year-rounds. So I'll give the nod to Bell's because of the excellence of all of the beers in their core lineup.

    Boulevard variety packs I always buy, the core and new are both always good. Sierra Nevada, Southern Tier and Half Acre are also very reliable.
