Jay, you are right about the ordering of the list, but again if anyone else put that list together I don't know how much we'd improve it.

Big Sky?<BR/><BR/>Seriously, it isn't hard to name twenty breweries a head and shoulders above those: Alesmith, Surly, Three Floyds, Midnight Sun, Troegs, Oskar Blues, Bells, Founders, Allagash, Victory, Souther Tier, Moonlight, Berkshire Brewing, Ommegang, Firestone Walker, East End, Moonlight. And that list no doubt reflects some geographically bias, and there's many deserving ones I've missed.<BR/><BR/> And managed to leave off so many vastly more deserving breweries like Alesmith, Surly, Three Floyds, Bells, Founders, Midnight Sun, Southern Tier, Troegs, Hair of the Dog, Oskar Blues, to name just a few.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
