I guess Redhook is considered a microbrew. Before I moved to Baltimore I was really into different styles of Redhook like Cooperhook, and their IPA. I haven't seen it anywhere around here and it's starting to anger me.
There is a beer that I've only seen on tap at two places near my house, within stumbling distance, called Resurrection that is great! It's pretty dark, lightly carbonated, and it has some bite. The great thing about it is that both of the places that I know of that serve it also have really great food, which is nice because it's probably better with food than without it.
Have you gone to Brewer's Art on Charles Street?
DEFINITELY one of my favorite beers right now. That 90 minute IPA is POTENT. It's a super hoppy beer.
I love a good IPA, I'll check that out for sure.

Victory Brewing Company (http://www.victorybeer.com/) out of Downingtown PA.
Best pilsner (http://www.victorybeer.com/pils.html) and IPA (http://www.victorybeer.com/hopdevil.html) I've ever had in my life. Even beats the Dogfishhead which I'm also a big fan of.

If ever down around Outer Banks, I recommend Weeping Radish beers.

I've always wanted to know more about cigars. I really like it when a woman has a big cigar in her mouth. (oohh..that didn't sound so good)

It's not the best beer, but by far the best name:

If anyone decides to make the trip for the Dogfish tour, let me know. The owner is an acquaintance of mine and the brewery is about ten minutes from my house.

Saranac is great stuff... but I'm also pretty fond of Otter Creek (Stovepipe Porter and Copper Ale).
My ATF, however, is Yuengling (love the Porter).

I have to say that I feel that Dogfish Head is easily the best brewery in the U.S. If you like IPAs, nothing beats them.
