    so many good breweries out there! majority mentioned makes me almost reconsider but cannot go past original choice of Sierra Nevada! Bigfoot, Ruthless, Celebration, Torpedo, Keller, Pale, Tumbler, Stout, Porter, Ovila Range, BRUX is also pretty good, another ageing now!

    Russian River. Vinnie's mastery of not just one or two, but numerous different styles of beer never ceases to amaze me. Every beer I've ever tried from RR has been at the very least good, and most of them have been exceptional.

    St Bernardus would be my European pick. Like RR, they don't make a bad beer, while some of them are great. Their Tripel, Wit and Abt 12 are among my favorites by anyone in those styles. Only the fact that they don't make any sours keeps me from ranking them right up there with Russian River.

    Hmmm. There are just so many good breweries! For me it's a toss up between The Bruery, Deschutes, and Russian River. I love me some good barrel aged and sour beers...

    My #1 is Terrapin Beer Co.
    Other can't-miss choices for me would be Brooklyn, Dogfishhead, North Coast, and Wild Heaven.

    Cigar City for me! With some of the best IPAs (Jai Alai, White Oak Jai Alai, Peach IPA) and some of the best stouts (Hunahpu and family), it's hard to go against them. If only they would get a sour program back...that would be the only thing I'd miss.

    Fuck your stupid world where I can only drink from one brewery that is just plain silly. I have married a woman but I shall make no such commitments to a brewery, although if I lived a little closer to Greensboro, VT I would probably drink hill farmstead beers almost exclusively

    Cold winters aside, its also probably a good place to go to if certain events happened that would cause you to only be able to drink from one brewery...(zombies)

    Unless the breweries are shipping the beer directly to me for free I will pick a brewery with a huge line up of all solid to great everyday beers, superb seasonals, excellent availability and very reasonable pricing.

    Sierra Nevada.

    People who aren't saying Hill Farmstead here either a) haven't had enough beers from them or b) are wrong.

    They have a 4.3+ rated IPA, DIPA, APA, RIS, Saison, American Black Ale, Porter, Biere de Garde, and American Wild Ale. Where else are you going to get such a wide variety of world class beers?
