Top to bottom what breweries do you think produce the most consistent line of products? I am new to the craft brew scene but I really love everything I have tried by Founders. I also have not tried anything by Lagunnitas that I did not enjoy.

You just asked two completely different questions.

My favorite? Hill Farmstead

Most consistent? maybe Budweiser

Looking for things available in BR?

Founders and Stone are two breweries that consistently produce great products. They aren't all winners, but do a good job.

I really like Ommegang (Cooperstown, NY) and North Coast Brewing (Ft. Bragg, CA) both available in Covington, LA. My favorite local breweries are Parish and Nola. I am not a maven or beer snob. I have a mild palate and lean towards Belgian style blonde and white ales.

My favorite is the one that gets me consistently drunk.

Stone is great, others from California that you should be able to get are green flash and Sierra nevada. Those are some of my top ones as far as having a lot of great choices.

I guess I could list some great brewery that I have to trade my daughter to get, but I'll just go with Great Raft because I'm a homer and they are local

And it's not really close for me due to the combo of exceptional west coast IPAs and Belgians and sours under one roof. In terms of breweries that widely distribute consistently good beer over a range of styles, I'd say Ommegang, Lagunitas, Dieu du Ciel (go Canada!), Stone, and Oskar Blues.

DogFish Head is by far my favorite brewery. They make some of the best IPAs on the market IMO and their 90 Min IPA is ranked in the top 100 beers in the world. They also consistently come out with new, innovative beers that use unique ingredients. They have kind of a fun, whimsical approach to the industry that really appeals to me. I really wish we could get it in LA.

Some other good ones you should try not already mentioned are :

The Bruery
Southern Tier
Unibroue
Funky Buddha

Start with lunch at Bear Republic in Healdsburg.
Maybe do a hike at Armstrong State Forest.
Head over to Russian River in Santa Rosa.
Then continue south to Lagunitas in Petaluma.
Great day.
