Just click in Breweries within your own profile page and your breweries will turn up in highest score order. I like to think mine show a diversity of both the new and the old, and that I am a child of the universe:

No local brewery and none from the US, both these things surprised me.
First local one was Hop & Stagger at 3.51, which again surprised me, as I don’t remember anything of their’s really exciting me.
First US brewery was Valiant (of Orange County, California) at 3.7 followed by Founders on 3.69.
those were the top 10, but only 7 of them are breweries. So we continue:
Hanssens
Hill Farmstead
Cidrerie du Vulcain - J. Perritaz
Rodenbach (Palm)
I have to go to #14 to get to 10 breweries 2 meaderies and 2 cideries in there as well.
First more or less local brewery would be Schlenkerla I guess, followed by Gänstaller at 29th, Spezial at 36th, Schneider Weisse at 42nd. First really local one is Ayinger at 47th.

32 out of my 35 top breweries are from US, three are Belgian. Two of those in top 10. First Croatian brewery is Zmajska at 137th place with 3.67.
Founders Brewing Company Michigan 6 beers 3.8
10./11. Monks Café Stockholm Sweden 5 beers 3.8
10./11. Buxton Derbyshire 5 3.8
Monk’s Café is a huge surprise. Some of them are unfairly high perhaps as I’ve only had standouts from them. (Great Divide for example). Zmajska’s on 28 for me as the first Croatian brewery.
If I only take beers I’ve had 10+ beers from:
Brouwerij Het Anker Belgium 12 3.88
Cantillon Belgium 11 3.81

My ten seem to be pretty stereotypical in terms of trendy breweries.
None from Surrey, but as I am from (and work in) Hampshire then Unity would be my local if it wasn’t down on the South coast. Had my first one in December so they’ve leapt up the charts.
Siren and Elusive are pretty near. Elusive was supposed to be based in my hometown of Farnborough but had planning issues so moved in next-door to Siren.
Top Surrey breweries on 3.3 are Ascot (19) and Tilford (5) both on 3.3. No-one can argue with me about Tilford as I am the only person to have rated any of their beers.
If it was a Top 10 where I’ve had 10 or more beers it would then ranks 6 - 10 would be: Wild Weather (24); Red Cat (20); Thornbridge (16); Sierra Nevada (10) and Vibrant Forest (12).

Sweetwater Brewing Company Georgia 8 3.44
F.X. Matt Brewing Company New York 9 3.44
Of these, O.C. and G.L. no longer make anything I’m particularly interested in.
Drink much more Sweetwater now than anything else listed.

Sante Adairius Rustic Ales California 5 4.06
FiftyFifty Brewing Company California 6 4.05
De Garde Brewing Oregon 7 4.03
FiftyFifty maybe doesn’t deserve to be there since I’ve only had a few of the best Eclipse-variants, except that no real surprises for me. Goose Island is almonst only BC-variants, and will probably be lower once I try some other stuff - if I ever do.
Highest ranked Swedish brewery is #14 with Mariatorgets Mikrobryggeri Sweden 5
3.98, would rank them as pretty local to me as well.
Hoppin’ Frog Brewery Ohio 13 4.07
North Coast Brewing Company California 8 4.05

Port Brewing Company / The Lost Abbey California 18 3.8
Hoppin’ Frog - Boris/Doris/Toris variations. Love 'em.
North Coast - Old stock/Old rasputin variations.
De Struise - Probably my favorite. Yet to try a bad brew from them.
Prairie Artisan - Bomb Variations. Really nice.
Great Divide - Sucker for the Yetis.
Nøgne Ø - Early love. Still good.
Brännland Cider - Ice cider all the way. Great stuff.
AleSmith - Speedway stout.
Chimay - Grande Réserve Vieillie En Barriques.
Port Brewing Company / The Lost Abbey California - Insane barrel aged ales. One of my absolute favorites.

The Alchemist 4.56
Cycle Brewing 4.54
B. Nektar Meadery 4.44
Fremont Brewing Company 4.44
Three Floyds Brewing Company 4.44
Cantillon is the brewery with by far most beers tried in that list @ 63.
Unsurprisingly all 3 Belgian breweries are lambiek producers.
Pretty sure Fremont & Cycle would drop if I were to try some regular beers from them.
The Alchemist is a surprise for me.
2 meaderies and 2 cideries in there as well.
