Currently, I'm a big fan of Elysian ESB (Seattle, WA). If I'm in a bar without microbrews, I'm usually good with a pint of Bass.
The guy who mentioned Free State gets points also. Definitely check them out if you're ever in Lawrence, KS.

You win thus far. Stone's IPA is great too.

If it were not for micro's , doubt I 'd drink beer in the US. Maybe, Sam Adams is acceptable. I like Bells.

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.

yea, from one broke college kid to another. i can't tell you how many beer pong games i've played with natty. here's a little hint though, switch it up from natty lite to natty ice. i think it has a bit higher alc level, but drinks a lot smoother compared to natty lite. ewwww just the thought of those two beers can make a grown man tremble.

I see two recent mentions of Lagunitas. Their IPA is not my favorite, but I really like Kill Ugly Radio, a double IPA.

Microbrews can sometimes figure to be just about as good of a deal as the cheap stuff when they're floating in the 6-8 percent range of alcohol by volume, vs. 4-5 for regular cheap (watery) beers. Sales at the store don't hurt either.

+1, that's good stuff.
Believe it or not, SLC has some really good micro brews that win medals and stuff, some of my favs:
Cutthroat pale ale, Uinta brewing co
Squatters IPA, Salt lake brewing co.
Evolution amber ale, Wasatch brewery
Red Rock Oatmeal Stout, Red Rock Brewing co.
Not beer, but really yummy:
Brighams Brew, Wasatch brewery
