    In the notheast Tree House, Other Half, Grimm and Singlecut ( to name just a few) had break out years in 2015. Which brewery will differentiate themselves in 2016?

    You should check out BeerAdvocate magazine #108's Class of 2015, wherein we explore many of the ones to watch this year.

    Grimm does seem to be blowing up. Want to get my hands on some of their stuff.
    I'd say Trillium with the new facility they just built will get around to more people (hopefully).

    They all make great beer so as far as differentiation, it depends on how much the distribution footprint is expanded.

    Sand City seems to becoming a lot more prevalent on Long Island, and in a very short amount of time. Everything I've had from them so far has been quite nice.

    Once Grimm opens up their own space, forget it. They're gonna be the new big thing.

    The same can be said if Threes starts canning/bottling. Superf*ckingyawn cans would draw crowds.

    Hoof Hearted (Ohio) is going to gain huge attention along with Rhiengeist (Ohio).

    Taxman in Bargersville, IN (south of Indy by 15 miles or so) is doing some pretty cool stuff. In the Upper Midwest, if Dangerous Man in MSP moves to bottling/canning, they could make a BIG leap.

    Praying that Trillium will can some of their offerings before I die.

    All signs point to The Veil Brewing in Richmond, Virginia becoming a "hyped" brewery like Tree House or Other Half almost as soon as it opens up this February or whenever. Ocelot's another up and comer, but they'll continue to fly under the radar due to the reticence of packaging their (great) IPAs.

    Meanwhile, in Maryland, Manor Hill *just* started canning their beers...oh who am I kidding.

    Magnify in NJ has only been open 8 months and I think they're doing really well. I expect them to have a great 2016 and pick up steam.

    Creature Comforts in Athens, GA is highly sought after. In fact, I'm one of the seekers.

    The North Brewery in Endicott, NY. They will be at EBF this year and their God Complex and barrel-aged beers are starting to get buzz.
