Best overall beer collection...Lagunita's.(Updated w/ ratings)

I agree. I'm always pretty pleased with whatever I get from them.

Bell's

No. Points are automatically deducted for being owned by Heineken.

Sierra Nevada:

Pale Ale
Torpedo
Tropical Torpedo
Celebration Ale (tGOAT Sierra Nevada)
Porter
Summerfest

etc.

I'm going with Sierra Nevada's portfolio if we're only considering nationally distributed craft(y) beers.

SN's diversity hits almost every single style of beer, and almost all of them are good to great. Lagunitas is more of a one or two trick pony, imo.

Hill Farmstead or Side Project anyway, IMO

Abita is the best hands down!

The Waldo's is the best beer they put out.

Lol no

Their stuff is all middle of the road.

Victory Brewing, Oskar, Ale Smith, SN, Real Ale and Founders are all better overall.

Real Ale

Great call.

I know availability is mentioned, but Russian River top to bottom is legit. It's relatively available on the west coast.

Look at the ABV of this line up. No other line can come close. Sierra Nevada is very over rated IMO the wrought iron ipa is one of the worst on the market.
