What beer do you think is a real sleeper?

Hell, after tasting through everything La Cumbre had the last time I was in Albuquerque, I'd say the brewery as a whole is flying way under the radar. They make some fantastic beers.

 

That's a sleeper? My favorite IPA right there.

 

Toppling Goliath- Anything

 

Should have mentioned Odell's IPA myself. Couldn't decide if I considered it a sleeper or not.

 

Abrasive Ale, highly reviewed. But overlooked often when comparing to HT and Pliny.

 

Beats me. I don't really here about it too much though. Can you get it in New York?

 

Two Brothers Askew

 

I'm honestly surprised people aren't clamoring more for Squatters Fifth Element

 

It's a beer that doesn't get half the love it should. Not sure if that makes it a sleeper, but oh well.

 

Otter Creek Black IPA.

 

Double Trouble. A Founder's seasonal release that doesn't generate a fraction of the buzz Hopslam does, and it may be better.

 

Berkshire brewing Czech pils and shabadoo black n tan
Smuttynose brown dog

 

As of right now...

CCB Capricho Oscuro batch 5...Really, no clue how this didn't blow up on the trade forums.

 

Yeah, you can find it here. I actually had it for the first time recently during Craft Beer Week. Blew me away.

 

Saw that today but got New Belgium's new Rampant IPA instead. i will have to pick that up.

 

I, too, am in Texas. (Houston, actually) and agree that buried hatchet and elissa IPA are underrated. Especially buried hatchet.

 

Love Child # 2

 

Nearly anything from Ale Asylum, but particularly Bedlam.

 

Firestone Walker Pale 31. Probably not too "under the radar" since it won a Gold Medal or two... but it definitely doesn't get a ton of hype.

 

Cuvee des Jacobins Rouge. Highly rated, but never mentioned among the elite sour beers...
