Also, since there's about 69 styles (or sub-styles) of beer, you should filter by the type you're interested in. Here's the results from the 2005 Great American Brew Festival:

I have an affinity for Lost Coast brews from Eureka CA.
My favortie Macros are Newcastle and Guinness, so for me the good dark stuff is where I am at.
Lost Coast has some really good micros. Down Town Brown and Rasberry Brown Ale would be my favorites. I highly recomend them to anyone who likes real bear, not this watered down stuff that is foisted on us americans.
