If you could recommend a few "unknown" beers...

I recently had two of those- very solid beers indeed. The King Titus is definitely fantastic- hoppy, but not overly so, with a smooth velvety texture. I also enjoyed the Oak Aged Backburner, but wish it was a touch drier. I definitely agree that it comes across more English style, but also love what the wood contributes overall.

 

Limbo - Long Trail

Zywiec Porter
http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/623/1901/

Limbo is a pretty fantastic IPA and the Zywiec Porter is one of the better baltic porters I've had

 

Speaking of Baltic Porters-
Smuttynose Baltic Porter is also amazing, and is probably the best beer they make (take that part with a grain of salt, though- I haven't really had all of their stuff ). The beer is definitely killer, fwiw.

 

Not necessarily unknown (but maybe fairly new based on the small number of ratings/reviews)... Thirsty Dog- Bourbon Barrel Aged Cerberus was fantastic on draft. Fat Head's- Angels for ALS IPA on tap in Cleveland... very unique hop blend (stood up nicely next to some fresh Head Hunter; also for a good cause). Great topic.

 

I don't know what their distro is like, but ole' Jerz has a few good guys

Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/450/13450/
Love Stout http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/450/3318/

 

I would recommend Mission Brewery's Dark Seas Imperial Stout. Also, Heavy Seas' Red Sky at Night (Rated as "good" on this website, but I think its a pretty solid saison)

Rush Hour by Tioga Sequoia

 

Wormtown Be Hoppy
Tree House Green
Trillium Fort Point
Lawson's Sip of Sunshine
Maine Another One

 

Berkley Brewing Co.- Rey Whiskey Barrel Aged Triple w/ Honey. Think Allagash Curiex, but with Rye Whiskey characteristics and the sweetness of honey. Phenomenal stuff.

 

Outside of the Lawson's, I haven't had it, I agree with this 100%. I love Fort Point, and Another One is as good as Lunch, but not hyped to no end.

Amazing under the radar gueuze

 

Project dank from la cumbre
red swingline from trinity brewing
tweak from avery
breakwater pale ale from dry dock
although the mexican chocolate stout is great, naja from copper kettle is a damned fine red.

 

Silver Creek Imperial Maibock. Before Lake Front Big Easy's time and a much better beer.

 

Love your avatar. WC Fields is a drunken genius.

 

schlafly tasmanian ipa (tipa) galaxy hops . i havent seen anyone mention this beer and it is my fav ipa along with lunch

 

Lakewood Temptress (and the Bourbon Barrel Variant) is a delicious milk stout and among the best beers Texas has to offer.
Already mentioned, but Community Mosaic is another great Texas beer.
Lone Pint's Pioneer Yellow Rose IPA is the best IPA in Texas as far as I'm concerned and I don't see it mentioned very often.
Green Man Snozzberry is another beer that is under the radar, but as a raspberry/blackberry sour, was damn near unparalleled.

 

Track Seven Riot Act Rye IPA
Belching Beaver Dammed! Double IPA

People also seem to forget that Bear Republic Cafe Racer 15 exists and it's phenomenal.

 

Three Brothers Resolute and Three Brothers Atramentous, Williamsburg AleWerks Bloody Valentine and Cafe Royale, Adroit Theory Scorpion and BAYS Brandy barrel.

Virginia is getting some good brews lately.

 

Both those 2 from Copper Kettle are damn fine brews. They are my 2 favorite beers of the moment.

 

It is bitter valentine, and it is great-cafe royals as well
