It’s a very nice list. Odd Colony crushes the lager game. I have had beers from about half the breweries on this list. Like most lists, this one is subjective. Definitely not my top 30.Interesting list. One brewery from my area, Odd Colony. Odd Colony and Alga are two breweries near me that consistently hit the mark with every beer they produce.

Everyone knows the main characteristic of a good brewery is good beer. But what are the features of the very best breweries? Is innovation more important than reliability? Can a traditional producer rank as high as the hot new thing? People who work with beer often see things differently from...vinepair.com
If Treehouse isn't on it, or Trillium or Hill Farmstead, then it's wrong. If Treehouse isn't #1 it's wrong. I like Edmund's Oast, it's my go to in cans in the Low Country, but it's a far cry from any of those three in my first sentence (or Tilted Barn or many others). New Glarus is overrated. Other Half is good. Pinthouse is just ok, goof for Austin. Russian River is iconic of course. Sierra Nevada is notably the best national brewery I suppose.Interesting list. One brewery from my area, Odd Colony. Odd Colony and Alga are two breweries near me that consistently hit the mark with every beer they produce.
