    Title says it all. What are some breweries that are either new, have big things coming in 2013, or are just too solid not to miss?

    If you can make it to Asheville, NC, Wicked Weed is a must try. I was able to try 4 of there offerings a few weeks before they opened. Opened the doors to the public on Dec. 28th with 19 offerings. I expect big things out of Luke, Walt, and Ryan.

    Creature Comforts, Blue Tarp and Three Taverns are all opening in GA this year. I'll be keeping a very close eye on them.

    ETA: Monday Night Brewing, Burnt Hickory and Wild Heaven are others to watch in the Peach State.

    Loowit Brewing here in Vancouver WA. Solid stuff, yet simple as of yet.

    The Commons in Portland Oregon.. super good stuff coming from them, and always way beyond expectations.

    Base Camp Brewing in Portland Oregon. These guys know what they are doing.

    Evolution is the brewery that I am following in 2013, new location in Maryland is bigger and Lot #6 and Rise Up Stout should be finally be in bottles this year, and all of their barrel aged beers are great!!!

    I don't know if Jester King has already "made it", they're pretty new, but they seem like they know what they're doing and I expect good things to come.

    Bier in Indy has won a few medals at the GABF but doesn't bottle yet. I'm hoping they do so sooner than later.

    I am very curious to see what sort of odd maneuvers the BMC guys try to do in 2013 to reverse their declining numbers

    +1 on Jack's Abby. They just put in new tanks to allow 80% more capacity. Their beer is SO good.

    Definitely Brash Brewing, every beer they've brewed so far has been mind-blowingly awesome, and Maine Beer Co

    Toppling Goliath, with their expansion and bottling line, seems like the place to keep an eye on in the Midwest.
