    Evil Twin could easily be among these but I just can't bring myself to really call them a NY brewery, no offense Jeppe.
    I need to visit Kane soon, from what I've heard they may go right on this list.

    I will be generous with my region - it's more like my province. It is large, geographically, but we like our wide open spaces in Alberta.

    1. Alley Kat - Edmonton
    2. Wild Rose - Calgary
    3. Ribstone Creek - Edgerton
    4. Olds College Teaching Brewery - Olds
    5. Village - Calgary

    Honourable mention - Troubled Monk - Red Deer (they just opened today and it is going to be awesome!!!)

    Oops. I didn't allow for Canada in the OP. But you're right, most provinces are about as big as a BA region.
    I'll give you a do-over. Selkirk Abbey is in the Mountain region—even though it's more than five times closer to Bellingham than some breweries in Alaska.

    Just think, if you lived in Sonoma COUNTY, your "region" would include Russian River, Lagunitas, Bear Republic, and Moonlight all within a few miles of each other. I don't know what your fifth brewery would be, there's a few nanos around Santa Rosa or Sebastopol I think...
