    Yes, out of the 6,500 plus breweries worldwide limiting yourself to just 10 is way too boring.

    ... the last one can be Budweiser for all I care but I'd just take a Trappist brewery.

    Williamsburg Alewerks
    DC Brau
    Port City
    Allagash
    Russian River
    Hardywood
    Sierra Nevada
    Oskar Blues
    Blue Mountain

    Had no idea De Struise was so widely appreciated. Nice.

    I like having 10 options in the list. It's enough to allow you to pick some of the worldwide standard-bearers, but also some smaller, more local breweries that are familiar stand-bys. Plus it gives me enough picks to select a brewery for a single beer (*cough cough* Orval)

    Cantillon
    Anchorage Brewing (A tad surprised not to see this one so far. Small but delicious lineup)
    Boulevard
    Green Flash
    Duvel Moortgat/Ommegang (this counts as 1 since Duvel owns Ommegang now)
    New Belgium
    Deschutes
    Brasserie d'Orval
    23rd Street Brewery (Lawrence, KS - doesn't bottle)
    Great Divide

    Just missed the cut:
    The Bruery
    Lagunitas
    Free State Brewing
