Pick Two:

Sierra Nevada
Stone

Really hard to eliminate GF but I just give Stone and SN a slight edge. This is as close to a 3-way tie as it can get for me.

Green Flash is great, but they don't have near the lineup of sn and stone. They really just have a few excellent IPAs. Stone and SN offer a lot more with both their regular lineup and special releases. Supposedly, GF makes a good stout, but I believe it is limited and not sure if it will ever make it to the shelves here.

Completely agree

I have to go with:
Stone
Sierra Nevada



That said, I voted Bear Republic over SN last round because I love Bear Republic. They're pretty similar to Green Flash in regards to a top heavy, IPA laden lineup that's somewhat lacking the deeper lineup of Stone and SN.

Ive seen it at Calandros. They may have some right now actually. It has a black label.

Oh yea, that one is good. Not on the level of Stone RIS, IMO.

Their Silva Stout is pretty highly regarded. Wonder if we will ever get some.

My FBD was a Palate Wrecker, but I stand by my votes.

This was a really tough call for me. Good thing is, I can still drink the beer that loses.

Stone
Sierra Nevada

And honestly, i could call it a 3-way tie. I only gave Stone and SN the edge due to longevity and their special releases

All 3 breweries are doing something special, and all of them are located in Cali, 2 of which are in the same city (GF and Stone).

Green Flash Greats
West Coast IPA
Le Freak
Double Stout
Hop Head Red
Imperial IPA
Plate Wrecker
Rayon Vert

Ok, not great though
Friendship Brew
Grand Cru

Stone Greats
Sublimely Self Righteous
Ruination IPA
Levitation
Arrogant Bastard
Smoked Porter (and it's variations)
Cali Belgique IPA
Russian Imperial Stout
Vertical Epic Series
Old Guardian Barleywine

Good, not my fav
Stone IPA

Sierra Nevada Greats
Pale Ale
Torpedo
Ruthless Rye
Narwhal Stout
Celebration
Hoptimum
Beer Camp Series
Estate Series
Hemisphere Harvest

SN ok, not great
Ovila (not my type)
Tumbler

You didn't list Dogfish Head, New Belgium, or Flying Dog in your original lineup?

Not available in Louisiana.

The voting is for beers available in Louisiana.

ETA: I believe flying dog is available, but limited. Regardless, it did not make the cut.
