    Are there any breweries that you like and trust enough to buy any new beer from without having heard anything anything about the beer?

    For me there's Fatheads, Founders, 3 Floyds, Great Lakes and Lagunitas. Anytime I see a beer from them I haven't tried, I have to buy one.

    Two here in Michigan who'll get my money without knowing a thing beforehand are Short's and Odd Side. There's a few others that are solid choices for me as well, but those two have been my favorites.

    Sierra Nevada is the number one choice for me. Locally, I'll give Lakewood, Community, and Martin House the benefit of the doubt every time.

    Nowhere........but I haven't tried enough beer from a single place to ignore possible variance. Cigar City is coming close, but I still double-check ratings on the BA app.

    This thread will provide a lot of options to add to my "must try" brewery list. Thanks @Beef_Curtains!

    My local brewery is Swamp Head. I'll buy anything they make just to support them. Well, also because its delicious.

    And Cigar City can do no wrong. Not only do I drink anything from them, whenever they release new bottles I call friends to drive to the brewery and buy them for me to hold until I can make it back to Tampa. I'll send cash without even tasting them first.

    Not a one, but there are some styles I just do not, and will not like.
