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.
Lost Coast from my home town of Eureka Ca has my fav beers. besides supporting the locals, even after i moved. They have a Raspberry brown that will knock your socks off.
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.
I hit the Stone brewery last this past summer. Not bad.
