So what brewery would you choose?

I think I might just have to go with Sierra Nevada on this one.

 

Exactly. Summerfest is one of my favorite Pils, Torpedo is one of my favorite DIPA's, their Fritz and Ken 30th Anniversary was one of my favorite stouts, plus they do a lot of cool random stuff. On top of all this, the price isn't outrageous.

Brooklyn is a close second.

 

Agreed. And rule number 3 is that you still have to pay for the beer. There are few breweries as reasonable as New Glarus when it comes to cost.

I could definitely live with IIPA, Moon Man, Wisconsin Red, Dancing Man, Spotted Cow, R&D Geuze, and R&D Kriek and be a pretty happy person.

 

Three Floyds!

 

Nuff Said, gentlemen!

 

Deschutes

 

This is a tough question. I'd want a brewery that does a great IPA, stout, sour, and barleywine.
As much as I would immediately want to pick FFF, they suck at sours and barleywines. Cut The Bruery due to a complete lack of IPA's. Russian River doesn't do stouts from what I've seen. Founders doesn't do sours. Goose Island is close, but I don't care for their IPA's. FW doesn't do sours.

Because they at least represent every style, and mostly well. GI is my choice.

 

Probably Bells. Nice big line and most of them are winners. They cover the seasons pretty well which is big for me too.

 

Odell

Lots of great beers, lots of variety in styles. My biggest gripe with them had been their lack of stouts but now living in Fort Collins and having access to many of their tap only stuff, that is no longer an issue. Plenty of stouts by them going around it does seem (And their chocolate milk stout, Chocolate Oar, is all sorts of awesome).

 

Easily Goose Island for me, surprised more people haven't mentioned it

(unlimited King Henry!!)

 

Can't decide,its a fight between:

Bell's
Smuttynose
Sierra Nevada
Deschutes

Cheers All.......

 

Most likely Deschutes because they do just about every style, but Hair of the Dog would be a close second.

 

I'd have to go Firestone Walker.

 

Got to be FFF or GI...but going to go FFF

Come on, Dreadnaught, Zombie, Gumball in the summer
Dark Lord in the fall and winter and Vanilla Brandy DL on special occassions???

 

Great Lakes. I damn well already do. 2 of my top 6 beers on untappd are from Great Lakes, and one of those is a seasonal.

 

I could have said Deschutes if only for Red Chair. But lots of other great stuff by them, all priced right.

 

Man...
I'm gonna have to go with Great Divide here.

 

Couldn't agree more. I'd definitely go with Avery. They make almost every style of beer and all are solid to excellent.

I'd take New Glarus second.

 

I would go for Short's just so I could have Cup of Joe year round. They have so many other amazing styles I could survive a lifetime and never feel let down.

 

I would have to flip a coin between Bell's and Founders. Every beer I've had from both breweries has been phenomenal. Fucking Michigan with all your crazy good breweries...
