    I think that would be my top five but I would have a different order...unfortunately RR is not available here so that is more of a go to when I can option...

    And I need to add Firestone to the list...

    Alaskan and Bell's (though I admittedly need to try more from Bell's lineup.) In my short time as a craft fanatic I've found myself trying one or two beers from one brewer instead of trying entire line-ups (which due to the limited distro here isn't really possible anyway).

    I'm a Philly guy living in Central PA, so my go to breweries in terms of "drink local," variety, price and availability are Yards and Troegs...

    I agree with 3 of 4. Shorts is my "Go Away" brewery, not "go to"

    Craft brew lovers in MN have many wonderful choices, hard to make a small list of go-to beers. (For me anyway) In no particular order:

    1. Surly (Bender and Abrasive)
    2. Tallgrass (Buffalo Sweat)
    3. Lagunitas (Brown Sugga, Little Sumpin)
    4. Indeed (Midnight Ryder, Shenanigans)
    5. Dangerous Man (Chocolate Milk Stout!)
