Santa Rosan checking in. Can confirm, we have a lot of really great breweries here. I'm surprised there was no mention of Pliney the Younger by Russian River Brewery in the article. This town fills up with people from around the world when that beer comes out. I've never actually tried it because I have better things to do than wait in line for 3 hours for a beer. Especially when there are so many top shelf selections to choose from.

It is a little odd that Russian River doesn't show up in the "Top Breweries" list. I like Bear Republic, but I would go to RR any day over them, and not just for Pliny.

Vermonter checking in. Can confirm, we do love the hops.

I believe there are four or five brewers in my home town of Brattleboro, population ~12K. And then there's this phenomenon: http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2015-07-29/how-small-vermo...
