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.

If I had to pick one I'd say Firestone Walker. For the quality, value, variety of styles, and just being consistent...FW has my vote.
Wish we could get them in LA

Great day.
Bear Republic is pretty good.
Russian River is too much of a hipster scene for me.
Lagunitas is really chill.
All in my backyard too.

Depends on whether you want to know which Brewery I enjoy going to, or which brewery I enjoy drinking beers from. I will stay local here in Oregon, since everything else is spoken for.
My favorite all-around is Block 15. They do everything well - Stouts, IPAs, Sours, Saisons. They have a solid Brewpub on site and a great restaurant called Le Caves - fantastic place to go if you like Belgian beers. It's in Corvallis, though, so it is a bit of a drive. Their biggest problem is that they don't produce enough beer...
For sours, a trip to the Cascade Barrel House is a real treat. De Garde is really good, too, but they are in Tillamook, so it's an an hour's drive.
For IPAs, I like Barley Brown's, Boneyard, Laurelwood, and Breakside.
Barrel Aged Ales - Hair of the Dog
Overall brewpub experience - Deschutes, Crux Fermentation Project, 10 Barrel, Cascade, pFriem, and Base Camp are all really good. I know I'm leaving some off this list.

You're the lucky one. I would trade all of the beer in LA to be able to purchase Bell's
Almost every gas station here carries Bell's. That double cream stout is really good. Has anyone tried their cherry stout? Not a big fan of fruit in beers and I can only get it by the growler.

I really wish we had Bell's in TX. Such a great brewery. Oberon is one of the best wheats I've had.
My favorites:
Thirsty Planet (ATX)
Hops N Grain (ATX)
Stone
Founders
Deschutes

If you are in Savannah check out Southbound Brewing. They are relatively new but good brew.

My wife know the owner's girlfriend. We are thinking of doing a tour this weekend.

Cool. Yeah Smith is a friend of mine.

Mix that half and half with a good chocolate stout (BCS) and let it warm to almost room temperature. Write back on here thanking me after you have.
