Best Year Round Line-up brewer

1 - Odell Brewing Co., in my opinion (probably not stats-based, but could be up there). Their seasonals are also awesome. All different styles done well and well-balanced.
2 - Deschutes - now that Fresh Squeezed is year-round, replace that with Inversion IPA, and you have a great lineup.

 

Being from pa I will say victory. With golden monkey, prima pils, dirt wolf, headwaters, storm king (used to be #1 on this site) and hop devil you can drink whatever your in the mood for.

 

A couple come to mind off hand:

Victory - everything they put out is solid, and Dirtwolf puts them on another level. They offer solid year-round beers in various styles as well (Prima Pils, Hop Devil, Storm King, Golden Monkey, Dirtwolf, etc).

Stone - yes I'm a hophead, but their year-round offerings (Arrogant Bastard, IPA, Levitation, Sublimely, Ruination, etc) are all great and distributed. Also, their rotating bombers, Old Guardian, Enjoy By, and IRS are all great in my opinion.

 

Can't go wrong with Sierra Nevada's line up.

 

SN
Bells

And as others have mentioned...

Odell
Deschutes
Victory

 

Great Lakes.

In my opinion, Edmund Fitzgerald and Dortmunder Gold are the absolute best of their respective styles, and Commodore Perry, Eliot Ness and Burning River are outstanding in their own right.

Throw in seasonals like Blackout Stout, Nosferatu, Chill Wave, Oktoberfest and Christmas Ale along with their unparalleled consistency and availability and you've got arguably one of the world's greatest breweries.

And while I'm at it, fuck Three Floyds and everything that looks like Three Floyds.

 

agree with Stone, Bell's and Victory

Don't forget Lagunitas!

 

I don't know how the numbers would stack up, but personally I'd have a damn hard choice between Ayinger and Weihenstephaner.

 

Great Divide

 

SN & DFH for me. Sierra Nevada, cheap VERY available and cheap. Dogfish Head, not exactly hard to find and have a very wide array of year rounders ranging from session Namaste to the monster Palo Santo.

 

Can't throw in seasonals . As much as I love GL, their everyday lineup can't hang with the best. No DIPA, a very average IPA, no everyday stout and no Belgian style beer at all. No, they can't stand with the big dogs.

Victory is my vote.

 

Deschutes- literally always have something you have to walk out of the store with. Affordable, delicious, fresh, and great brewing just about any style

 

Founders has to be up there - 4 great beers - 2 hoppy, 2 malty, and an OK session IPA that has proved popular.
Bell's is there, too, but beers 2-6 aren't outstanding - just solid.
Lagunitas is too one-dimensional IMO (hop-heavy).
Firestone Walker - have 4 year round standards plus I believe Wookey Jack and Double Jack are year round. Some markets don't get Pivo Pils and Pale 31 but it certainly passes the OPs limits. If Velvet Merlin was year round, they might have the best and broadest year-round lineup.
Troeg's is up there too, as is Avery and Great Divide.
Stone, Sierra Nevada, and Victory are great choices, of course.

Oskar blues. Dales, pils, deviant dales, g'knight? Puh-lease.
But came here to say odell originally...

 

Firestone walker, and I don't even think it is that close.

 

To each their own, pal! While I could absolutely get behind drinking nothing but Storm King, Dirt Wolf, Prima Pils, Golden Monkey and Hop Devil for the rest of my days, I have to disagree and say that GL absolutely CAN and DOES stand with the big dogs, they simply chose to go a different route with their year-round offerings. Considering the work they did with Chillwave, I'm sure they're plenty capable of brewing up a much brighter and juicier IPA than Commodore if they wanted to.

Cheers!

 

I'll go

Founders
Stone
Bells

Due in large too... Founders Porter, Centennial, Self Righteous, Stone IPA, Two Hearted... Then IF I could throw in seasonal/specialties?

 

Are NG fruit beers year-round? (not counting R&D) If so, Serendipity, Wisconsin Belgian Red, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Raspberry Tart, along with Moon Man and Spotted Cow, just might be it.

I also would put Stone, Lagunitas, Great Lakes, and Victory all pretty high up, with Ballast Point perhaps rounding out my top 5 (if NG doesn't count).

Edit: I really want to put Founders on the list, but with FIS, FBS, KBS, and Backwoods all being seasonals, their year-round lineup is just a smidge too thin, but gets an honorable mention nonetheless.
