Epic (the NZ one, haven't tried the US one). Or Emerson's (again NZ beer....)
Victory - Hopdevil, Moonglow, St. Victorious, and Storm King
Sam Adams - just about everything besides Coastal Wheat and the Cranberry Lambic
These are the the just about the only two commercial micro breweries that I go to my local shops to buy sixers/cases. Of course, I do TRY as many different micro brews as possible, but these are my regulars when not drinking homebrew.
My favorites are Founders, Flying Dog, Stone, Dogfish Head, and Short's. I don't like some of Short's brews, but I give them credit for trying crazy recipes. Wife is taking me to Founders Brewery next month for my birthday, so I'm pretty excited about that!
Flying Dog is pretty good.
I've heard mixed reviews about Dogfish....makes me reluctant to buy a 6 pack.
I try to expand my horizons but I keep coming back to Founders - Centennial IPA, Red's Rye, Robust Porter, KBS, the list goes on...

I also had a Samuel Smith dopplebock (I think it was samuel smith)....amazing
Avery
What constitutes a micro?
Its because our local stuff rules the midwest Dark horse is up there for me as well. West Coast stuff I get in trades has all impressed me. Green Flash, Alesmith, Russian River, Lost Abbey, Deschutes, Avery etc..... So many good beers out that way.I'm split between Founders and Bells, what can I say, I like the local stuff...
Microbrewery by definition is a brewery generally producing fewer than 10,000 barrels of beer yearly....So many of the ones being named are not Microbrews.........
Just saying........
