Great question, and I really like Thornbridge and Magic Rock too, might have to consider this for a while before a definitive answer

A bit like choosing your favourite child (which I can) but here goes - Burning Sky, Wiper and True, Kernel.

Since the loss of several breweries to Chinese and Japanese owners Dark Star, Fullers, Green King, HSB, London Pride to name just a few are no longer British owned, so my favourite local breweries that are still indipendat are Gun, Arundel, Burning Sky,

Siren, 360, Tiny Rebel

 

[pb21]

Fullers (London Porter, ESB)
Harvey's (Best, Old, Lewes Brown Ale)
Sam Smiths (Nut Brown Ale, Oatmeal Stout)

Of the newer ones I do like Siren, Broken Dream is lovely stuff.

Shit what about Oakham ? I knew this would happen...... yes and Siren and Beavertown..

 

[Rugrat]

Long Man, Dark Star and 360 degrees are the standouts for me. Now that Dark Star has been acquired by Fullers (who have also been acquired) I suspect their beer will go downhill but remain hopeful
