what breweries are you willing to blindly try anything from?

After reading the other thread with pure bashing of breweries, I figure it would be nice to start a positive thread.

So pretend you walk into a beer store, see a new beer you have no idea about. Which breweries would you automatically take a chance on?

For me Russian River, I enjoy the majority of their beers, even the ones that are not amazing to me I enjoy trying, and usually it is because I don't like the style.

Another one is Jolly Pumpkin. I love the who idea behind this brewery. Plus going to school in Ann Arbor makes me like them even more.

Firestone Walker. I've loved everything I've had by them (although I heard they made a bad one recently, I think 805?).

Olde Hickory. Ill buy anything they put out (even if its uncarbonated **cough cough** Saison Gee **cough**).

But then again Ill try anything from any brewery at least once.

Hill Farmstead - I couldn't care less what it is he brewed, I'd want to try it.

Tyranena and New Glarus. 2 of my favorites.

Crooked Stave, Hill Farmstead, Cantillon.

Stone, FSW, Founders, Hoppin Frog

Lagunitas & Stone.
Their beers range from good to great, and are always inexpensive enough so that I can feel comfortable throwing that $5 worth of caution to the wind!

Russian river, three floyds, jolly pumpkin, surly, cantillon

Living in the 805, it's popping up on tap quite a bit, and it unfortunately seems to be replacing Fat Tire, Sam Adams or FW DBA from the taps at the sports bars around here.
I can't say I'm too thrilled about it.

Maine Beer Co. Even at the higher prices, I haven't met the MBC brew I haven't liked yet

ccb and dfh

Aside from my obvious choices of Cantillon, 3F, Alchemist, RR, FFF and HF, I'll say Freetail.

FFF, Russian River, Firestone Walker, HF, Cigar City, Pipeworks

bell's

All of them.

Founders, Foothills, Olde Hickory

Blindly is a strong adverb : )

Firestone Walker, Boulevard for sure... Never been dissapointed whatsoever.

Farmstead, Tired Hands, Cooked Stave, Cantillon

Against the Grain
Odell

There are certain styles that it doesn't matter who brews it, I have no interest in trying it.

Founders, New England Brewing co, Stone, DogFish head, Smuttynose

After second thought, Ill buy anything from Great Lakes that isnt At Wits End or Traffic Light. omg ew.

Sierra Nevada, Ommegang, St Bernadus, Russian River (when someone sends them to me), 3 Floyds (when somebody sends them to me), Schlaflys

Three Floyds
Founders
Great Lakes

Innis & Gunn

Locally I always try anything from White Birch, Squam Brewing, Shipyard and Smuttynose.

Shorts, Brooklyn, Smuttynose.

Jack's Abby, Lagunitas, Ipswich, or Boulevard.

St. Arnolds, Rahr, Deep Ellum, Stone, Oskar Blues, Schlafly, Yazoo.

Smuttynose
Deschutes
Sierra Nevada

Hard to say anything, there are some styles that I probably wouldn't try no matter what.

Assuming they all bottled:

• Pfriem - definitely! (they're new, from Hood River, OR...hopefully you'all in other places can get it soon)
• Upright and The Commons are both so far really great (they're kinda new-ish still)
• Russian River - yes!
• I would pay anything they asked for any of the Deschutes Reserve series
• oh good god, I almost forgot Dogfish Head!

Great question!

Shorts, Founders, Jolly Pumpkin, Kuhnhenn, The Livery, Bells.

Russian River, Jolly Pumpkin, Grand Teton, Ballast Point, Green Flash and Dogfish Head.

Bell's, Founders, Jolly pumpkin, Boulevard, Hill Farmstead, Sierra Nevahrrrrda

Glutton for punishment?

Anything.

Ticks are ticks.
