    I agree with this. Their Lagers are exceptional, their IPAs, Delicious! Yet I would like to have a Sugar Bomb Imperial Stout from them!

    for me even though they aren't my fav... as far as ethics and what I believe in go, Stone....remember when greg tweeted about goose island bribing stores to NOT sell craft...classic.

    Jester King and Sixpoint are the first that come to mind.

    I find the manner in which Sixpoint responds to its customers and the marketplace to be admirable. Their products are very good, I haven't loved everything I've tried from them, but I think that is a matter of personal taste as opposed to overall quality, which I find to be very high. Just something about their progressive and responsive business model impresses me very much.

    My two favorite breweries area Jester king and Austin Beerworks, and right behind them is 512. However I really wish 512 Brewery would start bottling their beers.

    Ballast Point and Firestone Walker.

    At this point, I'd drink most of their beer over 95% of everything else out there.

    Almost said Victory but I only drink a few of their beers. Waiting for Harvest. Most beers are good but nothing outstanding.

    Enjoy

    When I think of Flying Dog, I think of average beer and ugly packaging. :grimacing:

    Russian River, Lagunitas, Founders, Firestone Walker get my nod for sure.

    I haven't had their beer yet, but from what I have read and seen, I would think Maine Beer Company is up there. They seem to be doing some really nice things. I especially like the plain beer label approach. Let whats in the bottle do the talking.
