Best breweries that can "do it all"

I'd think that Wicked Weed and Tired Hands would have to be up there.

 

All? What happened to everything else?

 

Don't you know? "All" = "What dominates the top 250 list".

 

Not to turn this into a Massachusetts love fest, but I'd add Night Shift as well. Great APA (Whirlpool), IPA (Morph), IIPA (Santilli), Stouts (Relajo), Porter (Elevensies), Sour (Simple Plum), Barrel (El Lechedor in Apple Brandy), I could keep going but....

 

Where's the love for New York? I'm gonna have to throw Grimm out there in the equation.

 

According to most of the new "boutique" breweries opening these days this is all you need to make to be in the hype game. Around here that means Other Half, Grimm and even SingleCut that started out mostly making lagers (b/c the owner liked them).

Now if we wanted to talk about which are the best breweries that can really do it all - I'd say Sierra Nevada and Barrier (NY local).

 

dunno about sours and saisons, not really my thing, but bells does it all and does it well.

 

I think of Bell's, Founders, Sierra Nevada, Troegs, Stone, and i'm sure many more that make above average beer across mostly all styles they produce.

 

Close but impossible to do. Certain ingredients are contracted exclusively for certain breweries.

And those American sour beers, just can't hold up to Cantillion. There is manufactured sour ale beer and then there is the genuine stuff.

 

Deschutes does it for me

 

I really think it's too much to ask for any brewery to do everything well. Nobody expects this of a restaurant. Does anyone even want to go to a steak, sushi, Indian Food, Chinese food, Mexican food, Italian food, French food, burger place?

Hill Farmstead does everything they do well in my opinion. Jack's Abby does well with a wide range of lagers, from traditional German styles to 3x hopped monsters.

 

"Doing it all" implies well rounded skills which is admirable. While I find some brewers consistently top the high bar with different products (Bells) in truth I'm mainly interested in how well they did the one I'm holding.

 

Not sure about "doing it all", but for a wide variety of brews which are pretty darn good:
Deschutes & Sierra Nevada

 

Pipeworks...except perhaps with the sour part. They have a few Berliner Weisses, but I've honestly never been impressed with them
Also Almanac, Avery, and Marz Community Brewing

 

Sierra Nevada comes to mind right away...

 

I agree 100% with the statement of @HuskyHawk: “Hill Farmstead does everything they do well in my opinion.”

And just to re-enforce that Hill Farmstead produces a lot of different styles of beer including styles not particularly popular with beer geeks (e.g., Mary – German Pilsner).

Cheers!

Deschutes and Firestone Walker don't seem to miss out on much.
