Breweries that "Have their shit together".

Good to know.
Oskar blues I would definitely agree and I liked Odell ipa a lot just hope they can eventually distribute in Iowa.

 

Founders and cigar city for me.

 

These are tiny locals, but as such, they get the underdog vote. I've never had even a mediocre beer from either, and their branding is excellent.

Armadillo Ale Works (Texas)
Lakewood Brewing (Texas)

 

From the Pacific Northwest I'd have to say Deschutes, De Garde, and Fremont Brewing.

Edited to add Block 15. I've yet to have a bad beer from them.

 

Hill Farmstead

Tree House
Trillium

 

Lagunitas
Sante Adarius
Firestone Walker
They don't make a bad beer
Except Firestones 805. That kinda blows. Otherwise, they are all damn near perfect

 

Better question would be "who doesn't have their shit together?"

 

Kane Brewing.

They've had a slow, steady build to now one of the best breweries out there (and on the BA cover this month!) They're beginning canning but you can tell they aren't being hasty in their process. They bought their own canning line rather than employ the mobile cannery. I've yet to have a bad beer from there as well.

 

OEC

 

Firestone Walker. They can do no wrong by me

 

Modern Times! They just do it right everytime!

 

Without a doubt, Sixpoint.

Their combination quality of product, consistency, price-point, and attention to/response to customer feedback are unparalleled.

 

Wicked Weed
Ballast Point
Lagunitas
Stone
Firestone Walker
Great Lakes
Founders
Cigar City

 

In no order:
3 Floyds
Fat Heads
Founders
Revolution
Lagunitas

 

Straub's
Troegg's
Victory
I am a PA homer!

 

One that hasn't been mentioned: Otter Creek

 

Funny people mention 3 Floyds

Antithesesis of having "their shit together."

Poor availability, poor customer service--ok, good beer but lots of people make really good beer now.

Agree with SN and locally Wicked Weed--small operation but committed to doing it right.

 

Jack's Abby.

 

#1-Sierra Nevada,No other Brewery that I know of makes such Ultra High Quality Brews @ such a fucking fantastic Price Point,Just picked up a 12ver of Torpedo in cans for $12.99 [Cheaper then BUD!] I Absolutely Love and Respect this Brewery to no end.
#2-Ballast Point, Expensive and Worth every damn cent,Top Notch,Stellar,and YES! they totally have their shit Together!

 

Locally for me Other Half, great beer, awesome selection, cool taproom, cool workers, they seem to make all the right moves.

Across the country Ballast Point as Sculpin and Victory at Sea are great beers and I have gotten some exceptional customer service from them too. I have always had a warm spot for Russian River as PTE is one of my first craft beer loves, since I have started drinking their sours recently my perception of RR is even better. Cellarmaker is a place I went to 3 times when I was on vacation in SF, loved it there, wish I could go there more often. Loved their tap room, their beer and the service was EXCEPTIONAL!
