    Short's- Is my favorite brewery. They put over 50 different beers into bottles every year with a wide distribution, a variety of styles, and always something experimental or new is on tap at the brewpub.

    Wicked Weed- They have an awesome brewery with a huge variety of quality beers on tap and a few original experimental beers that are awesome (French Toast Stout!)

    Honorable mention goes to Cigar City and Founders.

    De Garde - Amazing wild ales and berliners, plus the people there are the nicest around.
    Cantillon - Because of reasons...

    Not Local: Hill Farmstead and Pipeworks

    And Firestone Walker has to be in there for what they do with barrels.

    Probably Deschutes and Sierra Nevada.

    I don't know that either of them make my favorite beers, but they both consistently put out great beer at very affordable prices, and most importantly, I've never had to wait in line or chase delivery trucks to get some Fresh Squeezed or Ruthless Rye!

    Could easily name many of the others already named. Gotta give some love to my wonderful locals. Snake River Brewing in Jackson Wyoming and Sockeye Brewing in Idaho. Both make world class beers that can hang with any brewery.

    My two "go-to's" are Stone and.....good googly moogly this is actually hard! There are so many contenders for #2, (National): Flying Dog, Bell's, Founders, Rogue, Widmer Bros, or (Local-NC): Nantahala, No-Da, Triple C, Aviator, Double-Barley, Deep River...it's a slugfest, and I'm the winner!!!

    Hard to narrow down to only 2...

    Favorite breweries I've tried through trading: hands down, Pipeworks and Firestone Walker.

    Favorite long-standing : The Bruery and Stone.

    Keep making them great in the New Year!!!

    Firestone Walker and The Bruery. The Lost Abbey and Founders would probably come next.

    Firestone Walker and Stone. The list of outstanding beers across a multitude of styles from these two is long indeed. A few favorites: DDBA, Double Jack, Krieky Bones, Maltose Falcons, Southern Charred, Double Bastard, Ruinten, Fyodor's Classic. I mean, c'mon...
