The first allows you to express personal taste and examine your biases. The second however, seeks to objectively pick 5 breweries that you feel are the top contenders.

  1. What are your top 5 favorite US craft breweries?
  2. What US craft breweries should be in the top five?

I realize everyone has not sampled every craft brewery in the US so give it your best shot and state your reasoning (if you feel so led). Not all my favorites are in my top contenders.

Here are my own answers for question #1 in order:

  1. Boston Brewery (Samuel Adams)
  2. North Coast Brewing Company
  3. Great Lakes Brewing Company
  4. Dogfish Head Brewery
  5. Redhook Brewery

Here are my answers for question #2 in no particular order:

  1. Dogfish Head Brewery
  2. Founders Brewing
  3. North Coast Brewing Company
  4. Three Floyds Brewing Company
  5. Rogue Ales

Looking forward to seeing what you everyone thinks!
