Did you guys get a chance to get down to Chico Ca ? They have a few microbrews there with the largest being Sierra Nevada. If you get a chance check them out.

I’ve been planning a similar trip myself but haven’t yet gotten on my way because I can’t seem to get out of Colorado without finding another great place! I wasn’t surprised to see New Belgium on the list (Fort Collins was my home of four years) but I was shocked to see Mighty Arrow as your pick! This isn’t to say I don’t enjoy that brew but I feel beers like 1554 and Abbey…even Frambozen (seasonal fruit beer, strictly for the fuit beer catagory) would work their ways into your list.
I was also unaware that Flying Dog was had officially left Denver (sad news). I had to sleep in my car one winter night in Steamboat Springs and the Gonzo Imperial Porter was the only thing I had to keep me warm! Happy to see they made the top of your list (and equally as shocked)!

Try some brews from New Glarus, WI. Fairly cheap, and great tasting. My favorite is the Spotted Cow, but there are several varieties. All smooth tasting.

Sorry but Purple Haze is one of the worst beers I’ve ever tasted. It tasted like bile. Horrible!!!!

You guys really missed out on a great brewery in Cleveland, OH! Great Lakes Brewery makes some of the most amazing beers in the United States. You don't win multiple gold medals at the World Beer Championships for nothing.

Sweetwater = best bear ever…. I went to college in ATL and miss that stuff. Wish they would start distributing outside the Southeast

I grew up in Oregon and have been drinking Rogues Chocolate stout since it was called Chocolate Bear Beer and was only available at the brewery or in Japan. Kudos to you for discovering it. While Rogue is one of the best brews in the country, it is only the second best in Oregon. Go to Bend and try Deschutes beers from the source.

Way to represent, Oregon! With 4 of the 12 top beers and 2 of the 5 top breweries on this list, it's no wonder considering that Portland has more craft breweries per capita than any other city. You can get run out of town around here for ordering a beer that isn't a micro.
