Give Props to your Favorite Micro Brewery..

[NoisufnoC]

Great Lakes BrewCo in Cleveland OH.

Burning River APA, Edmund Fitzgerald Robust Porter, Christmas Ale, Oktoberfest all great beers

x2. I also enjoyed Willoughby Brewing Company when I was living in the Cleveland area.

I have yet to find a favorite in Vegas, there really aren't many here. One day I'll start my own. :rockin:

I love Three Floyds, though they are over priced on their 22 oz bombers. Founders is kind of odd brewery IMO. Their session ales are just ho-hum, but their high gravity stuff is the bomb.

Bridgeport
Rogue
Stone

All three might be considered craft breweries rather than micros though. They all produce my favorite IPAs... (Bridgeport IPA, Rogue Yellow Snow, Stone Ruination).

Not sure if these are "micros", but I love everything Sierra Nevada brews as well as Brooklyn Brewery.

I love Middle Ages from Syracuse, NY
Long Live Bert Grant's
Three Needs in Burlington, VT
Ithaca Brewing

The list goes on, but those are my faves!

The Gilded Otter (http://www.gildedotter.com/splash.htm) in New Paltz NY is an excellent gastropub, great place to go. Unfortunately they don't sell their beer anywhere but in the restaurant.

Keegan Ales (http://www.keeganales.com/) in Kingston NY is excellent as well. They won most of the awards at the last TapNY festival, and you can get their beers at local beer distributors.

Go there. Reasonable in the pub, and decent food too. It's uhhhh, eclectic.

It's close between Deschutes and New Belgium, but since Deschutes uses bottles that are easier for me to reuse, they win.

Exactly! The New Belgium bottles are too short. I love Deschutes, though... they're one of the few breweries for which I have tried the entire lineup of beers *and* liked them all.

Big ups to Great Basin Brewery! It's built inside an old Victorian house on Victorian Avenue in Sparks, NV and the atmosphere is great.

The food is quite varied from typical brewpub food to some complex, savory dishes. They even have seasonal specials.

Noooow on to the best part: THE BEER of course! Not only are their brews refreshing, satisfying and delicious as they are unique but their answer to the recession is "Tight-Wad Tuesdays" where pints are $2.50 ALL DAY! It's amazing...

Favorites:
1) Their trademark beer, Ichthyosaur IPA. "It's not yucky, It's Icky!"
2) Jackpot Porter (especially when it's on a nitro tap)
3) Smoke Creek Rauchbock

They are the winning-est brewery in Nevada and I'm incredibly proud to have them in my area!

Terrapin Brewing Company is the tits

I saw two for Founders, but I am going to have to go with the real best of Michigan: Bell's.

Two hearted Ale? Man, if I could make anything 75% as good as that I would be content with my brewing forever.

Well, I tend to spend my Wednesday nights at Buffalo Bill's here in Hayward. Of course, if they don't bring back Alimony Ale soon I'm going to boycott!!!

I had my last dinner in the bay area with my gf there before we moved to LA. I was mildly pissed they didn't have the Alimony, but I was appeased when they laid down a plate of their jalapeño poppers. Damn, those things are delicious.

 

[BarleyPop]

gotta go with Three Folyds here in Indiana

Cigar City Brewery
Tampa, FL

Love the Humidor series Jai Lai IPA and the Bolita Brown. Still trying to get my hands on some 1101K+OT.

 

[ThreeSheets]

Favorite of all time, Mac and Jack's and Georgetown Beer (maker of Manny's). When I turned 21 these two were always on tap at any bar we went too, and are very tasty.

 

[kkocher13]

Weyerbacher is my local. Merry Monks is an awesome Belgain. Blithering idiot is pretty good to.

I've been to 3F brewpub twice. Pretty sweet, but not convenient for me often. I live about 75 minutes away.

512 Brewing Co. here in Austin, TX

-Fantastic beers overall but their Wit is spectacular

Founder's and Bell's are good, but I'm a HUGE fan of Short's in Bel Aire, MI. Ive only had the stuff you can get in bottles in the grocery store, all of which are good, but the Huma Lupa Licious IPA is killer. I'm sure they have some really kick-a$$ stuff at the brewery tho, their line-up looks pretty awesome. Too bad bel aire is so far away.

I do love their poppers!

Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee. good IPA, great dark Vienna-style german lager "Riverwest Stein". also a gluten-free beer.

there's also a good brewpub, Milwaukee Ale house. can also find them in stores, but not everything they make. also serve real pints (16 oz), and happy hour is $2.50

Sprecher too, i'm not sure how far-reaching they get with their beers. Used to live about 1/2 mile away from the brewery....should have taken more advantage of that opportunity. They make some neat stuff every once in awhile, especially their African beers they made a few years ago...
