I find it interesting to note that some breweries use only one type of base malt and crystal for most or all of their beers, and still provide a wide variety of beers. This is probably due to the economy of mass buying, but it shows how versatile you can be using different quantities of base malts and crystal, and then changing hops and yeast. I don't know anything about the water treatments (if any) of these brews, but that could have a considerable effect as well.
The hops are, I believe, in order of boiling time, as should be evident in most of these beers by the hop variety. They are not all completely accurate, as the growing region of a particular hop can affect its flavor profile greatly (note that Redhook gives "Yakima Hallertau", which I presume is the American version of Mittelfrueh, although I'm not positive. It also lists "Tettnang", which I'm guessing is Tettnanger Tettnang, grown in Germany). You can see that some of this information needs work; also some of it may be dated.
Note that I only assembled this information into a single matrix; I did not gather it originally from the breweries. I would appreciate similar info on other breweries (large and small), other beers by these breweries, and any corrections that you note. If you tour a brewery, take notes!
