I love northern California breweries like Sierra Nevada, Downtown Brown and others much like these. I am curious to know who, in any of your opinions, makes the best hometown style, micro brew???

The best micro-brewery beer that I have NOT had is...
Three Floyds Oak-Aged Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout
It's widely acclaimed as the best U.S.-produced beer ever. Motor oil black and thick, bottom-of-the-barrel sludge. Extremely complex aromas: Bourbon, anise, chicory, oak, alcohol. Extremely complex flavors: chocolate, malts, chicory, coffee, wood, vanilla. Fullest of bodies, fullest of flavors. I dream about trying this beer.
The best micro-brew I HAVE had is...
Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Bourbon-Aged Stout
Like the first, a thick black beer with a frothy dark brown head. Scents and flavors of coffee, chocolate, malts, bourbon. Smooth and strong. Balanced and addictive. Absolutely amazing.
The best micro-brew for your neck of the woods (assuming you're from Cali):
From the Russian River Brewing Company (Santa Rosa)
-Pliny the Younger IPA
-Pliny the Elder IPA
-Beatification
-Supplication
-Temptation
Or Stone Brewing (Escondido)
-Imperial Russian Stout
-Ruination IPA
-Arrogant Bastard Ale
-Double Bastard Ale
Or AleSmith (San Diego)
- (Barrel-Aged) Speedway Stout
-IPA
-(Barrel-Aged) Wee Heavy
-Stumblin Monk
-Yulesmith IPA
-Yulesmith Imperial Red Ale
These west-coast brews are among the best beers in the entire world.
Other micro-brews that will knock your socks off:
-Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout (Colorado)
-Surly Darkness (Minnesota)
-Bells Expedition Stout (Michigan)
-Dogfish Head World Wide Stout (Delaware)
-Hair of the Dog Dave (Oregon)
-Hair of the Dog Adam (Oregon)
-Great Lakes Barrel-Aged Blackout Stout (Ohio)
-Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA (Indiana)
-Victory Storm King Imperial Stout (Pennsylvania)

Other's may not agree with me, but I LOVE Euphoria by Legcay Brewing Company here in Pennsylvania. It's a Belgian Strong Ale and clocks in at 11% ABV.
Drink Responsibly folks!

Captain Lawrence Brewery makes an incredible smoked porter. It's lightly smoked and accents the chocolate overtones in the beer.
