Smuttynose - everything they brew is either good or outstanding, and they're good people over there. Also, I think they've covered just about every possible style at this point.

I like alot of breweries, but it seems like many of the larger craft guys do one or two styles really well (Stone, IPA's; Left Hand, Dark beer; DFH, crazy stuff) but fall off pretty dramatically at the stuff they don't do as much of.
Bell's has such a wide portfolio. All of the following are some of the best examples of the style out there:
Two Hearted (IPA)
Hopslam(IIPA)
Best Brown
Third Coast Old Ale
Oberon (wheat)
Consecrator (Doppelbock)
etc...
If I had to pick one brewery, this would be it because its the only one I can think of that would satisfy me no matter what food/season/mood.
DFH is similar you just gotta live closer to them. The further you get and the less brews you find of theirs. They have an India Brown Ale, Shelter Pale Ale, all their continuously hopped IPAs (60 min, 90 min, and 120 min), Midas Touch for a meade, World Wide Stoudt for the best stoudt I have ever had, Olde School Barley Wine, and don't forget their Punkin Ale. There is a ton more they make occasionally or seasonally but seriously they have so much variety and every brew tastes great.
