Which one would you choose to be distributed to your area?

Firestone-Walker? The Jacks, DBA, Velvet Merlin
Ballast Point? Sculpin, Victory at Sea, Sea Monster
Stone? Enjoy By Series, IRS, Ruination, IPA, SSR Ale
Deschutes? Black Butte, Obsidian Stout, Fresh Squeezed, Mirror Pond
Oskar Blues? Dales Pale, Deviant Dales, G'Knight, Ten Fidy, Old Chub?
Russian River? Pliny, Blind Pig, Damnation

Something else? Make a case.

I know I left out a lot: CCB, FFF, Surly, Westbrook, Bells, etc... So let's add to the list...

Keep in mind, Expedition Stout and Hopslam are not year-round beers...

Firestone Walker. The Jack series and Parabola alone would be enough to suffice me.

God I wish they would come here

CCB would be a close second

Parabola is not year-round. I specified year-round because I know that beers like The Abyss and Parabola are not distributed in many of the Deschutes and F-W markets.

I also just realized that Ten Fidy is not year-round, although I still see it around, here and there.

Hard not to say Russian River because of the Pliny/Blind Pig/R2H56 and the sours.

But I'd also be tempted to say Stone. They run the gammut with their beers, from session IPA, the Enjoy By series to a great barleywine and IRS. Plus it seems they are always putting out experimental collabs and one offs.

This would be super tough for me to decide. Those are all great breweries. I think Founders should be somewhere on that list though.

I think Oskar Blues is as well rounded as any of them. They have a great Pale that you can drink anytime of a lot of them. Ten Fidy is one of the best stouts I've ever had. Deviant Dale's and Gubna are solid IPA's, and G'Knight is a fantastic imperial red.

I only rarely drink beer, but when I have one it's Sam Adams Winter Lager.

So... That.

Technically Russian River's sours are not year round...

I'm pretty sure their only year round beers are Pliny, Blind Pig, and Damnation...

I still vote Russian River

Russian River, Dogfish Head, or Ballast Point. Probably in that order.

Y'all do realize that Stone is distributed in Louisiana, correct?

Has nothing to do with the question. If you could only have one brewery, which one would it be - based only on there year-round beers.
