    There are so many breweries producing countless, sensational brews, but sometimes a brewery just clicks with me. Their logos, slogan,business model, final product, etc… seem to make a lot of sense. Any breweries that seem to be transmitting on the same wavelength as you? For me, in no discernible order

    Columbus IPA is my all time favorite beer. Don't really know much about the company though.

    Enjoy

    Definitely love great divide.
    Also an under rated Colorado brewery I love is upslope. If they could just get big enough to expand I would regularly have their brown ale and craft lager on hand.

    Glad to hear that - Upslope is definitely underrated. I drink a lot of their IPA, and when the Belgian-style comes out in the spring that's pretty much all I buy.

    Those aren't necessarily my favorite breweries (except Wicked Weed), but I tend to try almost any offering I see by those 3

    Recently, I've been very impressed by Crux. Every new beer I try from them has been next-level stuff. Obviously, I haven't tried their entire catalog, but the twelve or so beers I have tried from them have been outstanding.

    All I've had from them was the summer mix pack so their core 4 and the Thai spiced white ipa and they were all good.

    maybe a little local bias, but I would say Victory. They need to pump out a good (and not hoppy) stout though...

    Definitely I've never had a bad beer from them and when even their imperial stout can be had for $10 a four pack it's hard to not love them.

    Probably the main widely distributed ones I can think of where I haven't had a bad beer yet.
    Locals: Creature Comforts for sure; I want to say COAST but their lack of a website kinda holds me back, but their beer definitely qualifies
