Hmmmm, so hard to narrow it down to one, so I won't...
Stone Brewing Co.
If you live in Southern California, get your hands on Arrogant Bastard Ale, (and in the winter, Double Bastard ale and Russian Imperial Stout) this is a real beer drinker's beer. All of Stone's stuff is extremely flavorful, whichever style you try. If you like bitter beers, their line of pale ales and ESB's are right up your alley.
North Coast Brewing
Very good representations of just about all styles, Especially the darker brews.
Winter Brews
Just about any "Winter Ale" as long as the "special" ingrtedient is not some fruit. Traditional winter ales are just brewed longer and with more malt/grain, not necessarily infused with fruit, yuck.
Hefeweizen, plenty of good ones around, Pyramid is a good domestic, easy to find and not too pricey. And to whomever started the "tradition" of putting a goddamn slice of lemon in a hefe, you suck. If I wanted citrus, I'd have ordered a lemonade.
