Hardywood is pretty awesome. It's exceedingly rare that they make a beer that isn't great.

Oyster City Brewing Company in Apalachicola.
I love their Hooter Brown (when I can find it). It tastes almost identical via tap or can. Their Helles won a gold medal at this year's World Beer Cup |

Hoppin' Frog Brewing CO., Akron, Ohio. If you are a serious stout (especially Russian Imperial Stout) check it out. World class quality IMO.

Its been a long time since I cared enough to constantly try different things, but with ABs stunt a ceased Busch consumption, and have been "soul searching" a bit for others.
Recently tried a few from Lake of the Woods when I was up in Ontario, and was pretty pleased. They have a brewery on the Minnesota side of the lake, too, and being only a couple hours away, local stores carry some of their varieties. Seems any city over a couple thousand people has one now, but I generally find brew pubs somewhat obnoxious, so if it's not available from a retailer, it's unlikely I have or will try it |

There are no microbreweries in Colorado. All we have is Coors, which I think tastes like watery NyQuil.

The buyout got a whole chapter in that canonization piece of a book that also devoted a chapter or two to describing how Jesse Jackass strongarming AB into giving his son a distributorship was a good thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In North Carolina, Red Oak Breweries. The owner is a conservative who regularly posts anti-statist comments on his electronic billboard next to I-40/85 and has donated a keg or two to 2nd Amendment activities hosted at his lager haus. They've grown enough that you can generally find them on tap across the state. Excellent beer. I like it best off the tap. Red Oak is only sold in North Carolina. |

While I’m glad they have been successful, kinda hard to still call them a micro…although I believe they still fall under that title. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: NoVA has so many microbreweries it's hard to pick one. Port City, Old Bust Head, and Adroit Theory are some of my favorites. I also love DuClaw out of Baltimore, MD - they make super wacky beers like Unicorn Farts (a sour made with Fruity Pebbles). Truth…I can’t swing a cat by the tail without hitting a good local brewery. My favorites are a bit of drive from NOVA In order: Strangeways in Richmond and F-Burg Adroit Theory. They also some really cool names and artwork for their beer. During the scamdemic I was drinking a lot of The Death Of Civilization In Slow Motion, I thought it fitting of the times. Closer to me Aslin is really good also Settle Down Easy is okay but they get the nod because of the name  https://strangewaysbrewing.com/ https://www.adroit-theory.com/ https://www.aslinbeer.com/home https://settledowneasybrewing.com/home/ |

I won't speak for the entire state, but near downtown Cleveland two stand-outs are:
Noble Beast Brewing Co. and Masthead Brewing Co., both conveniently within a few miles of each other. There are plenty of others that are also excellent in Northeast Ohio though. Great Lakes has some great beers, but is far from a micro-brewery. |
