    Ok all,

    I know this thread is not breaking new ground per se as there have been many "If you could just drink beers from X breweries" what would they be, but it's been awhile since I've seen one and I honestly believe that 10 would be the absolutely minimum number I could live with. Here are mine:

    1. Hill Farmstead
    2. Russian River
    3. Cantillon
    4. Founders
    5. Drie Fonteinen
    6. Goose Island
    7. Midnight Sun
    8. Three Floyds
    9. Lost Abbey
    10. De Struise

    I would be very happy to be "limited" to the entire line-ups of the aforementioned brewers!


    I created this thread because every once in a while someone posts a brewery I'm not very familiar with and I end up seeking out and enjoying some great beers because of it.

    Dang, I am not sure that list couldn't do it for everybody, what a great list of breweries to satisfy almost every craving. Well done! I too would be a happy man drinking those and no others.
