Agreed. Courtyard isn't getting the love that they deserve, but that's understandable because most people taking the poll have probably never been there.

I really like Courtyard, but he hasn't made a beer that I've tried that was on the level of peak-Ghost or Bloom.

His first batch of My Golden Path is the best beer he's made to date, and even with that the second batch was a pale shadow of the original. It's Parish or Great Raft, IMO, and it's not close. I could see a vote for either of those guys. I might give a slight edge to Great Raft for their outstanding barrel program, especially after tasting the new Parish sours. They're just not good.
