    After reading the other thread with pure bashing of breweries, I figure it would be nice to start a positive thread.

    So pretend you walk into a beer store, see a new beer you have no idea about. Which breweries would you automatically take a chance on?

    For me Russian River, I enjoy the majority of their beers, even the ones that are not amazing to me I enjoy trying, and usually it is because I don't like the style.

    Another one is Jolly Pumpkin. I love the who idea behind this brewery. Plus going to school in Ann Arbor makes me like them even more.

    Firestone Walker. I've loved everything I've had by them (although I heard they made a bad one recently, I think 805?).

    Olde Hickory. Ill buy anything they put out (even if its uncarbonated **cough cough** Saison Gee **cough**).

    But then again Ill try anything from any brewery at least once.

    Lagunitas & Stone.
    Their beers range from good to great, and are always inexpensive enough so that I can feel comfortable throwing that $5 worth of caution to the wind!

    Living in the 805, it's popping up on tap quite a bit, and it unfortunately seems to be replacing Fat Tire, Sam Adams or FW DBA from the taps at the sports bars around here.
    I can't say I'm too thrilled about it.

    Maine Beer Co. Even at the higher prices, I haven't met the MBC brew I haven't liked yet

    Aside from my obvious choices of Cantillon, 3F, Alchemist, RR, FFF and HF, I'll say Freetail.
