    I had some at a sour fest this year. Quite tasty.

    I think we all wish our posted beers stay under the radar. It blows knob to chase these beers after we've been buying them easily for years.

    Almost every beer from Toppling Goliath that isn't Pseudo Sue or SoSus.

    Dragon's Milk. It's somewhat well known, but it's incredible and should be more of a craft beer staple.

    Long trail is good but Elliot Ness is special as special gets-Anything great lakes puts out is great

    Pretty much anything from Real Ale. Lots of old school session styles in their regular line up but done very well. The rye pale is great. Their barleywine is probably one of the most undervalued beers in the country. Their barrel program is turning out gems as well.

    New Belgium: French Aramis
    Has that grassy-ness like otwoa, but a touch sweeter, and way easier to obtain/cost efficient ($2.99/22oz).

    Confused why it has a low-ish rAvg but honestly I'm thinking it's the brand and the price. Everyone I rec'd it to thought it was great.

    Their Rye Pale was the first craft beer to make my mouth water as I was drinking it. Great stuff. Ill be revisiting it soon to see if it still has the same effect. I'm thinking quite underrated.

    In that case, I'll have to try Centennial, because when I visited my brother in Florida, I was lovin' Two-Hearted.

    My current two favorite sleepers are New Glarus Moon Man, and I love Sixpoint Resin.

    Agreed, both are great beers. I get excited every year for the Bell's release.

    Please read my post, fuckface, I clearly said that I don't know how much of a sleeper Allagash White is because it's rarely mentioned on the site.

    Don't go insulting posts that were posted before your stupid ass was even on this site.

    And if you want a real answer that's up to YOUR standards, Blue Lobster's Gold Claw would do the trick.

    Controversial maybe? But I consider a lot of my "sleepers" to be from local BrewPubs/TapRooms that don't distribute besides growlers.
    Dangerous Man - Coconut Milk Stout, Ay Ay PA, Single hop series all have been fantastic

    I am a huge CCB fan, and the one beer I think gets overlooked the most from there is Tocobaga. It is an excellent red ale that is slept on by the BA's outside of Florida because of Jai Alai receiving so much attention. For the record, I still prefer Jai Alai.
