    Great Lakes or New Glarus probably. I can't believe there are some listed in this thread who I don't believe even brew lagers!

    I agree completely.

    Which is why it's hard to beat Port Brewing here in Southern California for sheer variety of styles (and a consistently high level of quality across the board):

    • Dozens of IPAs (including single IPAs, doubles/imperials, single-hop versions, Belgian-style IPAs, and black IPAs)
    • UK ales (including milds, bitters, scotch ales, brown ales, and baltic porters)
    • Belgian styles (including dubbels, tripels, quads, abbeys, saisons, and bières de garde)
    • German beers (including dunkelweizens, weizenbocks, schwarzbiers, doppelbocks, kölsches, and even a märzen)
    • Wild ales (with and without fruit)
    • Multiple stouts (including dry Irish stouts, milk stouts, oatmeal stouts, double stouts, and Russian imperial stouts)
    • Barrel-aged beers (bourbon, brandy, and rye barrels)
    • Lagers (including Czech pilseners, American pale lagers, malt liquors, Vienna lagers, and even a genuine steinbier)
    • The usual suspects (including American pale ales, red ales, amber ales, blonde ales, American strong ales, pale wheat ales, barleywines, etcetera...)

    No gose, kvass, sahti, gruit, or pumpkin beer. Yet.

    Porter? Stout? Barleywine? Check, check, check.
    Barrel aged sours? Check.
    Rotating whatever the hell they feel like, up to 113 so far? Check.

    Fair enough. How's that for an equitable response? :slight_smile:

    Hands down Victory. They always have close to 30 beers on tap and over 30 yeast strains in their yeast bank. I love west coast beers, but there is no way any west coast brewery should even be mentioned in this thread.

    You're crazy if you don't think Sierra Nevada should be mentioned and not only that, near the top of any list of breweries that make a wide variety of styles.

    If the beers dont have to be bottled or distributed, then Kuhnhenn's brews the widest variety of classic styles i've seen. They brew lots of English styles you don't see elsewhere. Short's does the most different kinds of beers, but not necessarily in different styles.

    I love sierra nevada, but they only make 1 or 2 types of lager beers. I spent a good 6 years traveling out west and I loved the breweries, but diverse is not what I would use to describe any of them
