    I am glad to see Goose Island getting so much love in this thread. Mine:

    1. Goose Island
    2. Founder's
    3. Anchor Brewing
    4. Boston Beer Co. (Sam Adams)
    5. Brouwerij Corsendonk
    6. Bières de Chimay S.A.
    7. Brouwerij St. Bernardus NV
    8. Fuller Smith & Turner
    9. Hook Norton
    10. Greene King / Morland Brewery
    2 of these, Sam Adams and Greene King were picked due to the wide range of beers in their lineup.

    my runner ups; Sierra Nevada and Ommegang.

    I'd be surprised if an argument didn't break out for local beer, just because it's fresh.

    The great thing about trading with really great BAs is that you are able to taste beers from far-flung breweries in their best condition. Seriously, I've had week old Zombie Dust and Duet and many other great beers (fresh and optimally aged) because of great relationships I've built within this community.
