If for some crazy reason, you could only drink beers made from five breweries, which would they be? Mine, in no particular order:

Flying Dog
Lagunitas
Samuel Smith
Heavy Seas
Victory


Yours?
 
That's a tough one...

Philadelphia Brewing Company
Epic from New Zealand
Coronado Brewing Company
Sierra Nevada
Maui Brewing Company
 
Great Divide
Boulevard
Dogfish Head
Stone
Russian River - this was a tough one. Wanted someone who does sours, but not just sours. Also could have gone with new Belgium.
 
Cigar City - Jai Alai IPA aged on White Oak...very creative and experimental
Bells - lots of great ones, but love Expedition Imp. Stout and Two Hearted
Lagunitas - make a lot of great beers
Oskar Blues - mostly for Gordon, but also like Dales Pale Ale and Ten Fidy
Swamphead (local) love their Big Nose IPA and Midnight Oil Imp. Stout
 
This should actually be set up as a poll, with perhaps a couple of dozen choices; would be interesting to see what this home brew forum likes. Me, five is too limiting, however:

Oskar Blues
Russian River
Full Sail
Dechutes
Avery

Renegade will soon be there...
 
Bud
Miller
Coors
Corona
Dos Equis
How does that list look ;) :cross:
No seriously tho

In this order:
Stone
Russian River
Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
The Bruery
Brooklyn Brewery

I choose Brooklyn cause they have a nice lager and do some really good specialty beers in my opinion
 
Cigar City - Jai Alai IPA aged on White Oak...very creative and experimental
Bells - lots of great ones, but love Expedition Imp. Stout and Two Hearted
Lagunitas - make a lot of great beers
Oskar Blues - mostly for Gordon, but also like Dales Pale Ale and Ten Fidy
Swamphead (local) love their Big Nose IPA and Midnight Oil Imp. Stout

VERY similar tastes.

In this order: (Read: Only 1 and 2 are in order, the rest are tied and more than five, but I suck at following directions)

1. Cigar City
2. Bell's
3. Lagunitas
3. Sierra Nevada
3. Stone
3. Great Divide
3. Dogfish Head

I will say that I miss Swamphead as well. Midnight Oil, all the Catherines, and Blackwater.

Big Nose was meh to me though.
