I thought I'd get a nice thread going about favorite microbrews.

Best microbrew? My personal favorite is Founders. Every Style they have attempted is phenominal.

Troegs (especially Nugget Nectar) Can't wait for February because I am buying a keg of this stuff this year! I passed this spring but ended up buying 2 cases of it anyhow...

 

[MJDore]

Yazoo...either Dos Perros or Hop Project. But the Pale Ale is really good, too.

 

[Edcculus]

Terrapin!

 

[chromados]

Odell's is by far my favorite. I discovered it right when i moved to Fort Collins and now its really the only store bought beer i get. Their IPA and Bourbon Barrel Stout are amazing.

Chromados

I've heard good things about that one

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Boulevard or Flying Dog

Avery

What constitutes a micro?

 

[BlackBearForge]

Wow that's a difficult question.

It would have to be Sierra Nevada, Great Divide, Smuttynose or Victory.

Sierra Nevada just has a great all around line up and more than likely will make up the bulk of my everyday beers. How can you go wrong with any of their beers and Torpedo is an underrated IPA in my opinion and the Holidays just wouldn't be the Holidays without Celebration.

Great Divide just makes great beers like the Yeti's (perhaps my favorite RIS), St. Bridget's Robust Porter and HOSS

Smuttynose may make my favorite pale ale, Shoals Pale Ale, man I drank a lot of that this summer. Their Robust Porter is great and they make one of the better normal Pumpkin beers. Their Imperial Stout is quite good as well.

Victory makes what is perhaps my current favorite everyday IPA, HopDevil, been drinking a bunch of that this summer as well. If it came down to it and were forced to choose I might have to go with Sierra Nevada just because I like pretty much every beer they make.

Terrapin!

+1. No contest.

 

[3PegBrew]

I'm going to do a search for Terrapin and see where I can pick some up (if there's any in Illinois)

 

[ChandlerBrewery]

Avery is my favorite. However I'm hooked on Dale's Pale Ale by Oskar Blues.

 

[carnevoodoo]

On this coast, I'll go Alesmith and Russian River.

Out beyond my normal reach, I'll go New Glarus and probably Bell's or Founders.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

The SmokeStack series.

Terrapin, really? I live in Athens, GA, go to their brewery tours all the time, so I can say I def. like it, but it is really your fav. micro brew? I guess I better say Left Hand is my fav., b/c Terrapin has been stealing their ideas lately!!

But seriously, Heavy Seas and Highland are my favs right now, just behind my homebrew.

Terrapin, definitely. I live in Athens myself...and have found their Rye Pale Ale and Coffee Oatmeal Stout (ex Wake 'n Bake) to be exquisite!

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

Another SN fan here, they just always seem to be the go to beer. They do so many beers well.

 

[Erythro73]

Dieu du Ciel, down in Montreal...

 

[randomsample]

The Left Hand Milk Stout is truly amazing, and Sierra Nevada makes a ton of great (and affordable!) beers. I've been getting really into Peace Tree lately, but I'm not sure they distribute nationally (yet).

 

[Naked_Eskimo]

I prefer the Duck Rabbit milk stout.

 

[JVD_X]

Right now I am drinking Alba Scots Pine Ale... and it is good!

 

[gr8shandini]

A bit of a tease since it's not available to most folks outside of PA and NJ, but I gotta give a shout-out to Philly Brewing Co. Their Kenzinger is probably the best "lawnmower" beer that I've had and the Walt Wit and Rowhouse Red are top notch Belgian inspired brews.

 

[bsmoon]

Odell's is by far my favorite. I discovered it right when i moved to Fort Collins and now its really the only store bought beer i get. Their IPA and Bourbon Barrel Stout are amazing.

Chromados

This used to be mine and then I discovered Surly Furious. Best IPA I've had and their IIPA Abrasive is excellent as well.

 

[Teromous]

I really like Southern Tier...suppose it's my first choice...it's really hard to pick just one but they're consistent in that I like multiple beers. JK Scrumpy if I had to pick a cidery

 

[scrambledegg81]

Scrumpy Jack.

 

[ColonelForbin]

big avery fan over here. hog heaven, the beast, samuels ale, maharaja, ect,ect.

 

[Paulasaurus]

I'll second Surly Furious from Brooklyn Center, MN

 

[Daybis]

I love DFH, but since I can't get them here regularly, I am going to say my favorite so far is Tommyknocker. I find that most of the beers are pretty damn good. Not a fan of the Tundra Beary Ale though.
