    ok, so far the only other GA post is one complementing MI.

    I envy CA most, MI second (as well) and NY third. But here's what we have to offer in the Peach State.

    Wild Heaven
    Cherry Street
    O'Dempsy's
    Monday Night
    Terrapin
    SweetWater
    JailHouse
    Red Hare
    Moon River
    Reformation
    Five Seasons
    Monk's Mead

    Not in order (but close), and not sure the rest in the state warrant listing.

    Shout out to the Blind Pig, One Trick Pony, Off Color, Horse Thief Hollow, Lunar, Local Option, Haymarket, Emmett's, Carlyle, Big Muddy, Bent River, Atlas and Argus. Some more deserving than others.

    A lot tougher than I thought to do. The bottom few could easily change as there are many smaller breweries and brew pubs that I haven't tried yet.

    Nice list. I would have Sun King at #3 and Daredevil maybe as high as #4. Mad Anthony would make my list somewhere.

    I haven't had beer from more than 20 breweries in my own state; I read the whole list on here and the only ones I've heard of, I've had beer from. So I'll list those I guess.
    No particular order:

    Troegs
    Victory
    Stoudts
    Weyerbacher
    Full Pint
    Yorkholo
    Endless Brewing

    All those are great, there are some really good ones. I couldn't make a list of 20, but the ones I'd say are very much worth trying

    1. Devils Backbone
    2. Hardywood
    3. Starr Hill
    4. Blue Mountain
    5. Blue Mountain Barrel House (different brewery, brews a specific style (double-thread brewed, barrel ages, bottle fermented))
    6. Blue and Gray Brewing
    7. Center of the Universe Brewing Company (very new, everything I have tried from there has been great so far)
    8. Legend Brewing Company
    9. Wild Wolf Brewery
    10. Williamsburg AleWerks
    11. Lost Rhino Brewing Company
    12. Port City Brewing

    I haven't had enough of the others in the state to judge. But those are all must drinks for me.
