    I'll have to go with Sierra Nevada as my first choice, simply due to the vast amount of their beer I have enjoyed. My second? Hmmm, Lagunitas. They are a solid, all around brewery.

    This is a really hard choice but fortunately I've been thinking about this a lot lately. My favorite breweries based solely on the fact that I like every single beer they put out is Maine and CCB.

    Maine Beer Co is definitely my favorite. I love every beer they put out and just find them different from everyone else.

    Cigar City - Find this extremely unique and fitting for where they are located. I like every single beer they put out, especially when they're fresh. My only gripe is that I come across a lot of old IPAs. Their hops tend to fade fast but that's not the breweries fault, I'll lay blame on the distributors.

    Probably Pipeworks and Hill Farmstead. Never had a bad beer from HF, and Pipeworks is a go-to locally.
