		<description>When I visited Ninkasi in July right after the OBF I was able to chat with Jamie for a few minutes.  I found something out about them that hasn&#039;t been mentioned here.  Ninkasi is the fastest growing brewery in the country.  I have a funny feeling that&#039;s why Jamie is in NYC this week(or maybe the last few days).  Don&#039;t quote me but I think he said 40% annual growth?

Jay, thanks for the shout out.  Always nice to be acknowledged.

Cheers!</description>

		<description>Great list Jay. Glad to see The Bruery made the list...in a sea of great beers at this year&#039;s GABF, they were a standout for me.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad to see Shorts almost made the list. Joe is doing some unbelievable things upnorth in Michigan. I know many of these breweries but they don&#039;t distribute in Michigan (I wish Surly did!), so I don&#039;t get to try them often and can&#039;t offer much of an opinion. Jolly Pumpkin is a cult fave and is expanding lately, here in the Great Beer State...</description>

		<description>From an oregonian:
Ninkasi is good and does deserve to be on the top 10 I think, a lot of it is about their distribution though too. They&#039;ve really won out with distro.

Laurelwood has been around longer than Hopworks, and I think Laurelwood spawned Hopworks. Isn&#039;t that correct? They&#039;ve got 4 locations now and one of those is in Washington, so they are braving new laws and regulations. They make damn good beers and have new ones every week. They&#039;ve also won all sorts of crazy awards. Hopworks is good, and in a few years might be up there with Laurelwood, but not right now they aren&#039;t.</description>

		<description>Keep an eye on Portland&#039;s Upright Brewing.  I don&#039;t think they&#039;re ready for a top-10 list just yet, but if they keep developing in the right direction, there&#039;s potential.  I&#039;ve also enjoyed some distinctive, unusually flavored beers from Trade Route Brewing, now in Pacific, WA; their Ginger Pale Ale is a great accompaniment to Japanese food, among other things.</description>

		<description>IMO there&#039;s no tie between Laurelwood and Hopworks, Laurelwood is on top there. Also, I wanted to say that Oregonians, at least the one&#039;s up North, couldn&#039;t live without their Double Mountain Brewery!</description>

		<description>Jay, nice list given the impossible task of reducing the number to only 10. With so many worthy of mention maybe there should be some further deliniation? How about by classification by geography or predominant style?  

I wholely second Stan&#039;s shout out to Foothills and Duck Rabbit both of whom took medals at GABF (a gold &amp; two bronze).  Please show some love to NC, &quot;the State of Southern Beer&#039;. Cheers!</description>

		<description>Ninkasi really? While they are good at marketing I don&#039;t think the beer is up to the quality standards of the other breweries on the list.</description>

		<description>Probably hasn&#039;t been around long enough to make the top 10 yet, but with a GABF Gold, maybe Cigar City in Tampa can get into the top 20?</description>

		<description>Good choices, Stan, some of those simply didn&#039;t turn up in trying to put together a list of breweries that opened in the last ten years. I even worked with Erin at the BA, who doesn&#039;t have a complete list either.</description>

		<description>I felt it was different enough, it wasn&#039;t just a new Pizza Port location, but the launch of a whole new brand, separate from Port, though, obviously, owned by the same people.</description>

		<description>Not something I should start on, because it will end up being the length of a post, but . . . 

- Chuckanut and Devils Backbone sure hit the ground running, and given the pedigree of the guys in charge of brewing it hardly seems like a fluke.

- Since you had some NC breweries in honorable mention I thought of Duck Rabbit and Foothills.

- Yes, Dan Paquette is an excellent brewer, but Pretty Things still doesn&#039;t have its own brewing facility, does it?

- Nodding Head (because they were at least briefly the largest producer of Berliner Weisse outside of Berline) and the Alchemist in Vermont (two medals at GABF for gluten free beer).

OK, sorry Starr Hill and Tyranena, but I&#039;ll quit here now and get to work.</description>

		<description>Hello J and thanks for including us in your runner up list.  It looks like I&#039;ll have to work just a little bit harder to make your top ten... you keep tasting, we&#039;ll keep brewing to impress.  We&#039;re currently transferring our winter seasonal, Nick&#039;s Balls of Gold, another belgo-american hybrid style.  We&#039;ve combined the caramalized sugar-raisony malt character of an abbey-style dubbel with the juicy-fruity flavors of U.S. Crystal dry-hops.  Looks like you&#039;re going to have to take a road trip though... with my recently expanded family and the economy, my plans for expansion to a bottling facility are on hold for now.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the deal (oregon specific), Ninkasi should be rated higher than hopworks. (sorry HUB, the lack of a decent lager did you in)  And while Laurelwood has some really really great brew (the red is worth a few pints plus some in one sitting), Ninkasi can do no wrong.  They proved this by doing no wrong! Any beer these geniuses brew I would rate as my all time go to.  
For the record, Total Domination is an excellent brew, but Ill be damned hop heads, Tricerahops is where you will find hop heaven.  Also, cant believe the Believer Double Red. Wait, I can believe it...</description>

		<description>Wow, a lot of Ninkasi love out there. They only barely didn&#039;t make the list, and it was a hard decision. I do love what Jamie&#039;s doing there and the only reason I didn&#039;t initially put them in the top 10 was I didn&#039;t feel their impact was as far reaching. I hope I&#039;m not insulting Oregon (I love the place, those of you who know me, know that&#039;s true) but sometimes there is a certain myopia about Oregon being the center of the beer world that makes people forget there is great beer throughout the land. That being said, you&#039;ve all persuaded me that Ninkasi does belong on the list and now they are.</description>

		<description>Ninkasi Brewery from Eugene OR makes some awesome brews.   I love their summer Radiant Ale.  And it recently won the USBTC in the Pale Ale category.  I knew it was a winner the first time I tasted it.  Then, if you want to get on the HOP wagon with a good alcohol kick (8.8% I think) run don&#039;t walk and grab a Triceratops Double IPA.   Amazing stuff!  I just tried my first bottle of Oatis (Oatmeal Stout) and I think it will be my new winter friend.  Seriously Jay...you gotta check these brews out as they may bump someone on your TOP 10!  Ninkasi really knows what they are doing.</description>

		<description>How did Ninkasi not make the top 10? The believer is the best Red Ale I&#039;ve ever had and would step over my grandmother to get one!
But all in all still a good list.</description>

		<description>You&#039;ve got to be kidding if you have 2 Oregon Breweries on that list and Ninkasi is not one of them. Not only should they be on your list, but they should probably be #1. Hopworks is fantasic too. Congrats to Laurelwood for making the list but IMO they&#039;re not in the same league as Hopworks and Ninkasi. Ninkasi&#039;s Total Domination IPA should be beer of the year.</description>

		<description>Ninkasi Brewing should be on this list!  USBTC just named their Radiant as the best Pale in the US... Total Dom won best IPA in the NW...  Everything they brew is incredible!</description>

		<description>Alpine Beer Co. can absolutely not be left off of this list.  It&#039;s made the top 10 of any brewery in the US, old or new, in most beer circles for the past few years.  As a fellow San Diegan, I have to give credit to a local brewery turning out amazing beers.</description>
