I'm about to show my bias and my greeness here, but here goes nothing. I'd like to revisit this thread in about 2 months. I'm planning an Ohio spree in the next couple of months. I need to know beer from my own state. My list will be very different from most of the other Ohio lists.

Listermann Brewing -562 Lateral Oatmeal Sweet Stout
Fifty West (50W) Brewing Company - Ghost of Imogene
Fathead's - Hop Juju
Triple Digit - Chickow!
Listermann - Nutcase Peanut Butter Porter

Barely missed: Mt. Carmel Nut Brown Ale, Rhinegeist Truth, MadTree Lift, Cellar Dweller Jeremiah IPA, Weasel Boy Plaid Ferret.

Since I don't have an extensive list that I've tried, I'm going to give all the beers I've tried so far.
Great Lakes - Christmas, Blackout Stout, Oktoberfest
Fathead's - Head Hunter IPA, Bumble Berry, Sunshine Daydream, Spooky Tooth
Rhinegeist - Dad, Cougar, Franz, Pure Fury
Rivertown - Winter Ale, Roebling, Dunkel, Soulless, Hop Bomber
MadTree - PsycHOPathy, Gnarly Brown, The Great Pumpcan
Mt. Carmel - Amber, Stout, Winter Ale, Harvest Ale
Moerlein - Christkindl (my favorite winter from Ohio so far), Over-The-Rhine, Northern Liberties, Fifth & Vine, Zeppelin, Lager House
Jackie O's - Chomolungma
Thirsty Dog - 12 Dogs of Christmas
North High Brewing Company - Queen Madine Milk Stout
Columbus - Bodhi
Blank Slate - Fume

Wow. As I was typing and remembering, I actually have tried way more than I thought. Well, there it is. I would buy most of these beers again. I love Ohio craft beer and can't wait to try a lot more.
