A few thoughts and then the region is open for discussion.
-Barleywines dominate and they make some real good ones out west
-I omitted any Russian River brews as I have never had any
-Grant's/Hale's omitted but good brews
-Oregon has a huge # of micros, both in Portland and in the state
-Sierra Nevada omitted, too. Good stuff but I like the above better.
-I think RMD covered/included the mountain states in his choices
