Stone IPA is my regular beer. Other Stone brew's I love are Double *******, IRS and XI is great, bought a case of it.
As to Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams, never cared for either of them much but...
SN Harvest Ale is worth seeking out (24oz bottle) as is SA Imperial Pilsner (4-pack) well worth finding and trying. Both were seasonals released a month or so ago.
Locally my favorite is Four Peak's Hopknot IPA.
