Favorite Brewer

Does anyone have a preferance because after the new (to me) Victory Headwaters Pale Ale I am leaning heavily in that direction. Golden Monkey was the only disappointment.

Agree, Golden Monkey wasn't that great. Victory is a great brewery though and Hop Devil is still my favorite.

True story...

I had never had it on draught before and one night as I was running from B to C concourse in the Philly airport I noticed the Jet Rock Cafe had just added all these micros and had it on tap. Only having about 10 min before my next flight I took a seat at the bar...

You want a big one? She asked and I accepted assuming it was just a regular 22 ounce tall...She pours a 32 ounce stein for 10 bucks

Wasn't easy to get that whole thing down in the time allotted...

Not sure if they have those 32 ounce mugs any more, but 10 bucks was a deal. I think that's what the 22's are now.

My Hero is Jim Koch.......I do like most of Sam Adams offerings.....but I give him a lot of credit for showing America that you can Mass-Produce a Flavorful beer....and they we didn't have to settle on the watered down pilseners that flood the market.

I like Stone Brewery out of San Diego, I have liked a couple of the beers I have had out of Mayflower brewery in Plymouth...although I wasn't impressed with their Summer Rye.

But different breweries seem to make 1 or 2 good beers and then not so much on others.....depends on the Beer Style

I have a hard time choosing between Sal Bando and Paul Molitor. Both were great Brewers.

Each brewery has a few winners and a few losers in my experience. Rockbottom up in Braintree occasionally had something truly outstanding but then maybe 3 or 4 really disappointing with several in the middle of the road.
