    I was just coming in to say this - the diversity and quality that Jackie O's puts on tap is amazing.

    Lagers - Everyone they make
    Fruit beers I think we all know they take the cake there!

    Got to be Founders. KBS, Porter, Double Trouble, Devil Dancer could fit the bill for eternity. But, I'd still long for Hopslam!

    I know I'm the only dipshit to call it.

    Founders is definitely something I could survive on.

    Freetail for something I have access to. Though they lack a bit in the darker stuff.

    Jester king for sours and and darker stuff. Lacking in ipa's though.

    I can't really think of anybody that balances all styles that I'd want that I have access to.

    Goose island is coming to Texas but if hate to count on InBev. Seems like most breweries lack one my 3 major categories. Stout, sour, and hoppy. Jester king would kind of fit the bill. Farmhouse, stout,and sour. But even though I'm a bit burned out I occasionally need a hoppy brew.

    Good question....

    Well, it's got to have a sessionable lager that is produced all year, it's got to have a hell of a DIPA, it's got to have a nice stout, it's got to have some cool seasonals and it's got to have the occasional "out of left field" beer......

    Hmmmm.....I'm still thinking.....

    This makes me really wish founders would make sours or that russian river would make stouts.

    RR makes a stout.
    Founders should make lagers - Edit, so they can show they can do it like SN.

    It would have to be a brewery that nails a number of styles flawlessly.

    As much as I love Founders, they don't have a solid IPA so they're out. Bells is solid enough, but I guess I want more BA stuff. Black Note is good but I want much more. Same comment for Fat Heads, more BA is needed (too bad, as their standard line-up is excellent, probably class-leading).

    I guess the answer has to be FFF. Pfft, they're so fucking evil with their high prices and what-not, I guess that fits the LOTR theme in this thread.

    I'm going Terrapin
    For stouts they have Wake n Bake and Moo Hoo
    For IPAs they Hopzilla, Hopsecutioner, Hop Karma
    easy Rider is a great session beer
    The side projects and collaborations will keep it interesting.

    Please note that I reserve the right to give a completely different answer the next time this thread isstarted
