I don't know ... I threw this list together off the top of my head. I'll probably change it after seeing other lists. I didn't even list one outside of the US, which is insanely arrogant.

1. Boulevard
2. Uinta
3. Fullsteam
4. Lagunitas
5. Founders
6. Great Lakes
7. Brooklyn
8. Dogfish Head
9. Westbrook
10. Stone

Bells should be included on any best of beer list, just for Two Hearted alone.

Agreed. I've had three different Bells products now and I've enjoyed them all. But the Two Hearted is a masterpiece.

I'm also a pretty big fan of just about every Sierra Nevada that I've had.

Lagunitas and Stone are favorites of mine too.

I didn't really care for a lot of the Great Lakes stuff. Their IPA is too malty sweet for me. I like the Bells Two Hearted citrusy / grapefruit hoppy beers. Oh speaking of Lagunitas, their Day Time Ale is fantastic; perfect for a hot day.

Yep, they are one of my go to beers for just the easy drinking / light / tailgating beer. Yuengling, Yuengling Light, Miller Lite, and National Bohemian (Natty Bo) are the ones I get when I want a basic light lager.

it's crazy that new glarus still distributes to wisconsin only. seems like they could make a fortune nationally distributing spotted cow alone.
