re: If you could choose only one brewery based soley on their year-round lineup,

It's not where your from it's where you pay rent

Russian River would be #1 for me followed by Firestone Walker. I'd likely put FFF in the third position only because I've had just a handful of their beers.

Guinness

This is hard as hell. Three Floyds gives you a DIPA, IPA, Pale Ale that drinks like an IPA, and a lager. Not bad, but I'd want a porter or a stout to change it up.

I think I'm gonna go with Deschutes if we're playing by the rules in the OP. That gets me Black Butte Porter, a Pale Ale, Inversion IPA, Obsidian Stout, a White IPA, an Extra Pale Ale, Red Ale, a blonde, and a pilsner. If this is the only brewery I could drink, having that diversity would go a long way towards keeping me from burning out.

ETA: Lagunitas might be a good one too. Little Sumpin' Sumpin, IPA, Pale Ale, pils, Maximus, their copper ale, plus their imperial stout and Hop Stoopid.

Don't forget Fresh Squeezed is now year-round, and that's their best IPA, IMO.

I agree. I thought RR would be eliminated for a lot of people because they don't have a lot of every day beers.

Damn, that definitely makes them harder to dismiss. I like the Russian River stuff that I've had, but I couldn't session Supplication, Consecration, or whatever. I'd want some palate cleansing brews.

Haven't had all of those but I'm very partial to Dogfish Head

I nominate Victory
