While Deschutes is a fine NW brewery, I would not even put it into the top 10.

Stone is one of my favorites. Another good brewery is St. Stan’s in Modesto, Calif. When I’m in Pittsburgh, I enjoy drinking Iron City.

Flat Branch Brewery, Columbia, Missouri has an “Oil Can Stout” that is as good as any ale i have sampled.
Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City is still good, but has become more commercial the past couple of years.
One don’t have to go to the left coast to find excellent micro breweries.

There is a pretty good triple hop yeasting in the closet under my stairway right now...could be one of my best breweries this year (but then again, I thought the last brew was the best as well).

I brewed for several years. Until I found it wasn’t saving me much money and I wasn’t competing in quality with the best of the best.

Hales Ale. Their yeast is the best I've ever tasted. Slightly bready and sweet. I asked them for a pitch of it and they happily gave it to me.
Kept it going for a year and a half. Best beer ever.

everybody in Texas knows this one..... as far as the others.... knock yourselves out. I'm staying at home cause if it's any better than Shiner Bock, Blonde, Hefenweizen or Black Lager.... I'd have a problem.... walking.

I used to agree. Hales was one of my first loves. Their original Bitter was outstanding back in the 80s. HTey went downhill for a little while, but have bounced back nicely in the last couple years.

Got your beer and women on separate threads tonight I see.
I have to be true to Texas and go with the Spoetzl Brewery.
Cheers!

I'm sipping on Deschutes' Hop Trip right now. It's disappointing.
North Coast Red Seal FTW.
