Taking a page from MJ, what are your favourite breweries? Unibroue, McAuslan, Victory, & Dogfish Head come to mind. Oh, and Perry's future cask house.

Cheers, Joe.

I'd definately agree on Unibroue and Mcauslan. And I have yet to try a Rogue beer that I didn't like, although I've only had a few, so I can't really mark them as a true favourite yet.

I will also add Denison's to the list in anticipation of their plan to start selling their beer in bottles next year. :smile:

I'll third Unibroue. Although they individually don't make my top 5 brews, they definitely have the most different types of beer from one brewer that I really enjoy. Not to mention the 750mL corked bottles.

Too bad the "Collection" no longer seems to be available.

I have been meaning to chime in on this one - besides the breweries mentioned, I would toss in a historial vote for Niagara Falls, circa 1994-1995. Back then, they had the peak Eisbock, Maple Wheat, Brock's Stout, Olde Jack, Kriek and Apple Ale. Don't know if these beers would hold up against today's competition, but I was certainly impressed by their diversity back then.

Cantillon, Girardin, Vapeur, Cain's, Victory, Big Time, Smiles, Rogue, Hair of the Dog, Sierra Nevada, Heller-Trum, Fantome - to me they're all money in the bank. There's many more, including one-beer masters like Orval plus ones I've maybe forgotten, but these ones have consistently exceeded expectations with every brew.
