    Gotta say Jack's Abby primarily cuz they're the most solid and consistent local brewery for me. It's also less daunting trying to drink everything they've done because they don't have a ton of past releases like someone similar to Sierra Nevada would.

    Currently; Westbrook and The Bruery. I've pretty much loved everything I've had so far.

    I feel like my answer may have been given a dozen times over already, but I'll contribute it anyway.

    I try to snag anything fairly local, if I've not had it before (sometimes I'll get it even if I've had it). Yards, Troegs, Victory, Weyerbacher, Stoudt's, etc. I like to support my fellow PA brethren. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Aside from local, I'll pick up anything I see bearing the obvious big names: Stone, Sierra Nevada, Allagash, Dogfish Head, so on and so forth.

    I try to pick up lesser-known labels, but my mix-sixes are almost always dominated by the big guys because I know that I'm generally going to be satisfied at the very least.

    De Struise... its a little pricey to do so here in the US and sadly the bottles/drafts are not always in the best condition when they arrive :slight_frown:

    Whenever I am in Belgium my 3 largest expenses are Lodging, Food, Black Damnation variations....

    While I don't really trade anymore, there are lots of breweries I'll buy any new beer I see from them. Most of the big names would be included.

    Dogfish, Bell's, Founders, Great Lakes, Lagunitas and new arrival Hardywood. DC Brau, except I haven't had the beer they made with DC United yet. Flying Dog because I have a friend in their Junto club, so he shares plenty with me.

    Stone, although I didn't want to buy the Stochasticity Quad because I'm not really in the mood for a Quad in the middle of a humid DC summer.

    Firestone Walker, it's tough being in MA and trying to get things like their Barrelworks series, but even with the hoops I've jumped through to get those brews, I haven't been disappointed, and I'm going to continue to try and grab everything they release.

    Locally, Jacks Abby. They're close enough where I can make a stop at the brewery every now and then to pick up the things that don't make it to shops near me.

    I've tried damn near everything from the locals:
    RoughTail
    COOP
    Anthem
    Black Mesa
    Mustang
    Marshall
    Choc

    Unibroue definitely makes this list.

    I'm still missing a few from Prairie Artisan & Mother's, but Prairie is really overpriced as far as I'm concerned and Mother's doesn't distribute in Oklahoma unfortunately.

    For me in California, it's been Russian River for a while. I've had most of their bottled offerings, but I have yet to visit their brewery to try their draft only selections.

    Recently though, SARA would be another brewery in California where I'd like to try everything they brew along with Societe in San Diego.

    I've been on a big kick w/ Jester King lately as they've done a few amazing beers so far this year. Was at their brewery the past two weekends for new releases that likely won't make it to stores.
