Dogfish takes 3rd in my book. Stone and SN are neck-and-neck for #1 & #2.

I voted for average. I recall being absolutely blown away by a couple of DFH beers back in about 2003-2004. Ever since, their prices went up and the quality appears to have suffered a little bit. Also, the experiments are fun, but often are failures. I am no longer letting my wallet take the hit because something wasn't well tested before hitting the shelves. Probably been 3-4 years since I bought anything from them. Too much good stuff out there at better prices. That wasn't the case in 2003 when I got Immort Ale for something like $4.50 a 4 pack!

Top US breweries by the numbers: 1. Alesmith (6th overall) 3.997 average 513 reviews 41 beers 2. Stone (12) 3.901 1490/96 3. Ommegang (17) 3.852 524/24 4. Hair of the Dog (19) 3.834 233/21 5. Bear Republic (22) 3.817 362/59 6. Russian River (27) 3.779 324/58 7. 3 Floyds (28) 3.773 434/55 8. Founders (30) 3.766 336/33 9. Great Divide (35) 3.743 757/47 10. Oskar Blues (36) 3.732 232/28 Funny that 2 of the three finalist don't make the top 10 according to the scores. Dogfish Head is 12th, Sierra Nevada 25/74 and barely in the top 10 California breweries. Others in the poll...Surly at 11th, Bells 14th, New Glarus 23rd (that one surprises me)... Stone and Sierra Nevada by far have the most ratings.
I assume that is directed at me. Last time I even saw DFH, it was $2-4 more per sixer than the competition. I am comparing to Boulevard, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, Big Sky, Founders, Summit...for example. I see those priced from $7-10. $11-13 sixers of Rogue, DFH and 3F's...meh, plenty of other great beer on the shelf. Not that we have DFH or 3F's here anyway...[;)]

I just have to say this. Every time I see kinger's icon I see a mushroom, specifically Omphalina pixidata, also know as pixie's bellybutton. [img]http://mycoweb-stv.narod.ru/fungi/Submitted/STV1/Omphalina_pyxidata_2_STV_20111030.jpg[/img]
Not necessarily, more towards slowrunner's statistics in which I'm assuming many of those top brewers are based on a bulk of the ratings coming from back in the day before the recent boom. I agree about their pricing, although the four packs and sixers are competitive around here for what you get while their big bottles are painfully overpriced. Price point vs. quality is one of my driving factors when beer shopping just like you.
