    I am a fan of Avery, Recently spent time in Durango… SKA BEERS are amazing. Tough choice for me…
    tough to be the SELECTOR….

  • Mikey P says:

    I agree that New Belgium is overrated. Personally I would have had Avery, Odells, and Oskar Blues in the top 3.

  • Chris says:

    Congrats New Belgium!

    Following up on my beer-fueled comment above, I don’t want to come off sounding all grandiose about the “genius” of my favorite breweries that I listed above. This wasn’t my intention, it was only to point out some beers that I really love to drink,
    Cheers

    Congrats TLE, you win the award for “most clueless post”.

  • [...] for voting New Belgium Brewing the Best Mountain West Craft Brewery for 2009 – it’s truly an honor. We are very fortunate to have so many great brewers of [...]

  • kit vermilyea says:

    I’m voting for SKA brewery–the best is in Durango!

  • TLE1212 says:

    All of you New Belgium defenders sound like you’re reading from the side of the package. Ever notice that Avery, Ska and Odell talk about their beers in their marketing? New Belgium talks about how great they are for the environment. New Belgium is a Green-washer, they only do something positive for the environment if its good for their marketing purposes. “Wind Powered and employee owned” maybe OK for those who believe everything a corporate marketing department tells them. Me? I’d rather have a good beer.

    SKA……..IT’S THA BESSSSSTT!!

    SKA BREWERY

  • Julen says:

    New Belgium is just available in more places. Everyone in Fort Collins knows that Odell´s makes better beer. It isn´t even an argument.

  • The Dude says:

    Sarah is overrated, And New Belgium killed it. The votes speak for themselves.

  • Sarah says:

    New Belgium is overrated!! Go Odell and Fort Collins!!

  • The Dude says:

    Go Fort Collins!

  • Ron Knaus says:
