    As others have said, there are styles I won't "buy" from anyone. I might try it if given to me.

    That being said, my answer is The Alchemist, because I can only buy one beer from them and I will buy as much of it as I can, every time I can.

    No. In PA until relatively recently you either bought beer by the case or paid extra to buy it from a bar or restaurant. My wallet doesn't support impulse buying. If I know the brewery I may be more willing to check out the beer or sample it in a bar. Buying names a case at a time can be a pretty expensive mistake.

    Great Lakes, Founders, Fat Heads, Bell's, and Three Floyds. I live on the WV border of Ohio tho so not huge choices when it comes to some of the New England/West Coast breweries. Those are the 5 that are prevalent in Ohio (where I pick up my beer)

    For me, this is more about a personal connection with a brewery than overall quality or how much I like a style. There are a few breweries that I'll buy a beer from that I know I might not like because at some point I had some sort of positive interaction with folks from it. Williamsburg Alewerks and New Holland being foremost. So far as knowing I won't be disappointed, I'll always pick something up from DuPont or Sierra Nevada.

    During the tour at Founder's the guide said that 'if we don't make a beer you don't like, we're not doing it right'. I found that entertaining and pretty much inline with what I consider my favorite breweries (i.e. they all make things I will try but ultimately won't seek out ever again).
