    Being from Northern California:
    -Sierra Nevada (any thing in their line up but Pale Ale on draught in even the most remote places)
    -Anchor (any)
    -Lagunitas (any)
    -Deschutes
    -Russian River (any time it's available-nothing beats grabbing a couple of Blind Pigs to bring in to a Giants game!)
    -Bear Republic (any)

    I usually try something new that I haven't tried before but that was not the OP's question.

    Nothing new to report here...lagunitas, Sierra Nevada, and deschutes. Uinta creeping in there, as well.

    Butcher's Tears, De Prael and Het Ij are breweries I go to most often, as they're in Amsterdam. After that, there are only really De Molen and Jopen that I go to with any regularity. Oh, and Fullers. I've been there quite often in the last couple of years. I've few open invites for breweries in London that I neeed to make time for.

    besides chainbreaker everything they make is, imo, a world class example of the style.

    You poor bastards probably dont get Houston's best brewery since its still considered small... dont distribute all that far away. Karbach is awesome. Great pale ales, IPAs , limited releases, seasonal... all that. That place doesnt seem to able to mess a beer up.

    Lagunitas - Hop Stoopid $6 for a Bomber. (Brown shugga, sucks, dogtown, ill sumpin wild) enough said.

    New Belgium Abbey and Trippel. The fancier ones: Ommegang Abbey Ale (4-packs) and Weyerbacher Merry Monks. Both of those tripels are good examples of the style.

    Here in Louisville (stuff i can actually pick up cans/bottles of):

    - Sierra Nevada
    - Schlafly
    - Bell's (pretty much just Two Hearted)
    - Great Lakes
    - Sweetwater (IPA)
    - West Sixth

    I assume that Victory, Deschutes, and Lagunitas will be joining that list in the near future.
